Abstract: A gas turbine engine, system, and method of severing at least one blade of a row of blades spaced about a rotor during an over speed condition are provided. The gas turbine engine includes a shaft rotatable about an axis of the shaft, a rotor coupled to the shaft and having a radially outer surface, and one or more rows of blades spaced axially along the outer portion. Each row of blades includes a plurality of blades spaced circumferentially around the radially outer surface. A gas turbine engine casing at least partially surrounds the one or more rows of blades. One or more rows of stationary vanes are spaced axially along the casing. Each row of stationary vanes includes a plurality of stationary vanes extending radially between the shaft and the gas turbine engine casing. The stationary vanes are coupled to the gas turbine engine casing using a fuse element.

Abstract: The turbomachine includes a compressor, an inner annular casing, and an outer annular casing. The inner annular casing and the outer annular casing define at least one cavity therebetween. The clearance control system includes a manifold system including at least one conduit disposed within the cavities and configured to channel a flow of cooling fluid between the cavities. The clearance control system also includes an impingement system including a header and at least one plenum configured to channel the flow of cooling fluid to the inner annular casing. The conduits configured to channel the flow of cooling fluid to the impingement system. The clearance control system further includes a channel system including at least one channels configured to channel the flow of cooling fluid to the turbomachine. The channels are configured to control the flow of cooling fluid to the manifold system.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine defining a radial direction, a longitudinal direction, and a circumferential direction, an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction, and an axial centerline extended along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes a low pressure (LP) turbine defining an outer flowpath. The outer flowpath defines a first outer flowpath radius at an upstream-most end of the LP turbine, a last outer flowpath radius disposed at a downstream-most end of the LP turbine, a middle outer flowpath radius disposed therebetween along the longitudinal direction. The middle outer flowpath radius is greater than the last outer flowpath radius.
