    Abstract: A shroud hanger assembly or shroud assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine wherein a hanger includes a radially depending and axially extending arm. The arm or retainer engages a pocket formed in a shroud so as to retain the shroud in a desired position relative to the hanger. An aft retaining structure is provided on the hanger and provides a seat for a seal structure which biases the retainer so that the arm of the hanger maintains engagement in the shroud pocket. A baffle may be utilized at the hanger to cool at least some portion of the shroud.

    Abstract: A compliant seal component, a turbomachine including such compliant seal component, and an associated method for cooling the compliant seal component disposed in the turbomachine are disclosed. The compliant seal component includes a convoluted portion and a plurality of end portions spaced apart from each other. The plurality of end portions is joined to the convoluted portion. An end portion of the plurality of end portions includes a first section and a second section, the second section defining a plenum. The end portion further includes a plurality of inlet holes and a plurality of outlet holes. The plurality of inlet holes is configured to direct a portion of a cooling fluid to the plenum. The portion of the cooling fluid in the plenum is configured to cool the end portion. The plurality of outlet holes is configured to discharge the portion of the cooling fluid from the plenum.

    Abstract: Gas turbine engines, as well as outer walls and flow path assemblies of gas turbine engines, are provided. For example, an outer wall of a flow path comprises a combustor portion extending through a combustion section, and a turbine portion extending through at least a first turbine stage of a turbine section. The combustor and turbine portions are integrally formed as a single unitary structure that defines an outer boundary of the flow path. As another example, a flow path assembly comprises a combustor dome positioned a forward end of a combustor; an outer wall extending from the combustor dome through at least a first turbine stage; and an inner wall extending from the combustor dome through at least a combustion section. The combustor dome extends radially from the outer wall to the inner wall and is integrally formed with the outer and inner walls as a single unitary structure.

    Abstract: Flow path assemblies and gas turbine engines are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a flow path assembly comprises an inner wall and a unitary outer wall including a combustor portion extending through a combustion section and a turbine portion extending through at least a first turbine stage of a turbine section. The combustor portion and the turbine portion are integrally formed as a single unitary structure. The inner wall and the unitary outer wall define a combustor of the combustion section. In another exemplary embodiment, a flow path assembly comprises a unitary inner wall defining an inner boundary of a flow path and extending from a forward end of a combustor through a nozzle portion of a first turbine stage, and a unitary outer wall defining an outer boundary of the flow path and extending from the forward end of the combustor through at least the first turbine stage.
