The assembly includes a plurality of flow path components disposed adjacent to one another, each flow path component having a forward surface, an aft surface, a pressure side surface, and a suction side surface. A seal channel is defined by the pressure side surface and the suction side surface of adjacent flow path components. The seal channel has an open forward end proximate to the forward surfaces and at least two rear ends proximate to the aft surfaces. The assembly includes a plurality of seal layers disposed within the seal channel such that one or more seal layers extend from the open forward end to a rear end and one or more other seal layers extend from the open forward end to another rear end.

Abstract: Coating systems for components of a gas turbine engine, such as a compressor blade tip, are provided. The coating system can include an abradable material disposed along the compressor blade tip and may be used with a bare compressor casing. The abradable coating is softer than the compressor casing and can reduce the overall rub ratio thereby increasing the lifetime of the compressor blade and casing. Methods are also provided for applying the coating system onto a compressor blade.

Abstract: An airfoil for use in a turbomachine includes a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall coupled to the pressure sidewall. The suction sidewall and the pressure sidewall define a leading edge and an opposite trailing edge. The leading edge and the trailing edge define a chord distance. The airfoil further includes a root portion, and a tip portion. The tip portion extends between the pressure sidewall and the suction sidewall such that the tip portion is substantially perpendicular to each sidewall. The tip portion includes at least one planar section and at least one oblique section that forms a recess within the tip portion. The at least one oblique section extends from the at least one planar section towards the root portion along the chord distance. The tip portion is configured to reduce airfoil wear during contact with a surrounding casing.

Abstract: A system includes a web plate axially disposed between a transition piece and a turbine nozzle. The web plate includes a radial arm extending in a radial direction between an inner surface and an outer surface of the web plate. The radial arm, the inner surface, and the outer surface are disposed about an axial passage configured to facilitate a flow of combustion products from the transition piece to the turbine nozzle. The transition piece is disposed within a compressor discharge cavity configured to receive an oxidant. The radial arm includes an upstream face in fluid communication with the compressor discharge cavity. The radial arm also includes an arm passage that extends an axial length in an axial direction from the upstream face through at least an axial depth of the radial arm. The arm passage is configured to receive a portion of the oxidant through the upstream face.

Abstract: The present application provides seal assemblies having improved flexibility for reducing leakages between adjacent misaligned components of turbomachinery. The seal assemblies include a first outer shim formed of a flexible permeable material and a second outer shim formed of a substantially impervious material. At least the second outer shim is configured for sealing engagement with seal slots of the adjacent components. The seal assemblies may also include at least one of an inner shim and a filler layer positioned between the first and second outer shims. The seal assemblies may be sufficiently flexible to account for misalignment between the adjacent components, sufficiently stiff to meet assembly requirements, and sufficiently robust to meet operating requirements associated with turbomachinery. A turbomachine including the seal assembly is provided.
