Abstract: A cooling system for a turbine engine. The turbine engine includes a compressor, a turbine, and a shaft that drivingly couples the compressor and the turbine. The cooling system includes one or more cavities of the compressor. The cooling system includes a shaft flowpath defined in the shaft. The shaft includes one or more shaft apertures that provide fluid communication between the shaft flowpath and the one or more cavities. Air passes through the one or more shaft apertures and the shaft flowpath during a shutdown of the turbine engine to cool the one or more cavities.

Abstract: An example gas turbine engine includes a compressor including a casing defining a passageway and a shaft extending through the passageway. The shaft drivingly coupling the compressor and a turbine of the gas turbine engine. The shaft has an opening to receive airflow from the passageway. The gas turbine engine also includes an inner shroud, stator vanes coupled to and extending radially between the casing and the inner shroud, and an offtake scoop disposed on a downstream side of the inner shroud. The offtake scoop has a channel to direct the airflow radially inward toward the opening in the shaft.

Abstract: A method of heating a hollow structure and a heating system are provided. The system includes a plurality of hollow structures spaced circumferentially about an annular flow path. The hollow structures include a heating fluid inlet port, a first plurality of film heating apertures, and a second plurality of film heating apertures. The hollow structures also include a first internal passage extending between the heating fluid inlet port and the first plurality of film heating apertures. The first internal passage includes an impingement leg configured to channel a first flow of heating fluid to a leading edge of the hollow structure. A second internal passage extends between the heating fluid inlet port and the second plurality of film heating apertures through a path along an inner surface of the hollow structure before being channeled to the second plurality of film heating apertures.

Abstract: A ducted fan engine is deiced using a ground support deicing apparatus having a support structure, a plurality of sonic wave transmitters, an imaging device, and a controller that controls the sonic wave transmitters to emit sonic waves at varying frequencies. A deicing program causes the controller to control (a) providing imaging signals to obtain image data from imaging sensors, (b) receiving image data provided by each of the imaging sensors, and generates images of at least one component part of the engine, (c) detecting a presence or an absence of ice on the at least one component part of the engine, and (d) controlling the plurality of sonic wave transmitters to emit sonic waves in a given frequency range so as to remove the ice from the component part of the engine.

Abstract: Splitter apparatus for gas turbine engines are disclosed. An example splitter apparatus may include a splitter including an annular outer wall substantially defining a convex leading edge; an annular splitter support positioned radially within the outer and including a forward end disposed substantially against a splitter inner; and an annular first bulkhead spanning between the outer wall and the splitter support. The outer wall, the splitter support, and the first bulkhead may define a generally annular splitter plenum. The forward end of the splitter support may include spaced apart, radially oriented metering slots. The outer wall may include an inner portion disposed radially inward from the splitter inner surface extending aft and including spaced-apart exit slots. The splitter plenum, the metering slots, and the exit slots may conduct airflow from the plenum, through the metering slots against the splitter inner surface, and through the exit slots.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor with an inner casing and an outer casing. The inner casing defines a primary flow path for airflow through the compressor, the inner casing and the outer casing define a bleed air cavity therebetween. The inner casing at least partially defines a first bleed air channel between the primary flow path and the first bleed air cavity. The first bleed air channel is defined between a first wall and a second wall, wherein the first wall is upstream from the second wall. The first wall includes a plurality of holes in fluid communication with the primary flow path and fluidly coupled to a suction manifold. The plurality of holes is configured to energize a fluid boundary layer along the first wall.
