Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure that has a fluid port. A turbine vane is supported relative to the engine static structure and includes a cooling passage. A flow splitter is provided between the engine static structure and the turbine vane. The flow splitter is configured to divide a flow upstream from the flow splitter into a first fluid flow provided to the fluid port and a second fluid flow provided to the cooling passage.
Abstract:
A hybrid diffuser case for a gas turbine engine includes an outer diffuser case wall that extends downstream from an annular outer pre-diffuser case shroud. An inner diffuser case wall extends downstream from an annular inner pre-diffuser case shroud. A multiple of struts extend between the annular outer pre-diffuser case shroud and the annular inner pre-diffuser case shroud.
Abstract:
A tangential on-board injector assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an annular housing including a plenum. A plurality of discrete tubes is fluidly connected to the plenum and is configured to provide a cooling fluid to the annular housing.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for anti-rotation lugs. A stator for a gas turbine engine may comprise an outer shroud, an inner shroud, and a plurality of vanes located between the outer shroud and the inner shroud. A plurality of anti-rotation lugs may be coupled to the inner shroud. The anti-rotation lugs may be configured to contact a diffuser case in order to prevent rotation of the stator. The anti-rotation lugs may comprise a body and a tapered shoulder. The tapered shoulder may distribute stress concentrations in the anti-rotation lugs.
Abstract:
An air extraction port at a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a port inlet at a combustor case of the combustor having an inlet area, a port outlet having a final area, and a fluid passage extending from the port inlet to the port outlet to convey an airflow, the port inlet sized and configured to extract the airflow from the combustor case at the same nominal upstream Mach number with a tolerance of +/−0.05.
Abstract:
A swirler for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler outer body with a male snap component and/or female snap component of a snap-fit interface defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A bulkhead assembly for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler mounted to a bulkhead support shell through a snap-fit interface.
Abstract:
A turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor in fluid communication with the compressor section, and a turbine section in fluid communication with the combustor. Also included in the turbine engine is a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is located between the compressor section and the combustor section and the mixing chamber is radially outward of a primary fluid flow path connecting the compressor section, the combustor section, and the turbine section.
Abstract:
An inner diffuser case for a turbine engine includes a fore gas path edge and an aft gas path edge defining a strut, wherein each of the fore gas path edge and the aft gas path edge include a gas path opening, a support cone structure extending radially outward from the strut, wherein the support cone structure is operable to structurally connect the strut to a turbine engine case, a diffuser case skirt structure extending radially inward from the strut, wherein the diffuser case skirt structure is operable to structurally connect the diffuser case strut to an inner support structure of the turbine engine, and at least one direct feed air passage passing radially through the strut including a radially outward upper mixing chamber opening and a radially inward direct air feed opening, the direct air feed opening is connected to a direct air feed.
