摘要: A compressor diffuser for a gas turbine engine is described which includes diffuser pipes having a tubular body defining a pipe center axis extending therethrough. The tubular body includes a first portion extending in a generally radial direction, a second portion extending in a generally axial direction and terminating at a pipe outlet, and a bend portion fluidly linking the first portion and the second portion. A first curved side wall of the tubular body along the second portion is shorter than a second curved side wall of the tubular body along the second portion. The second portion of the tubular body has a cross-sectional profile defined in a plane normal to the pipe center axis. The first curved side wall of the cross-sectional profile has a smaller radius than a radius of the second curved side wall of the cross-sectional profile.

摘要: A compressor of a gas turbine engine includes a rotor and a stator located downstream of the rotor. The stator has a plurality of vanes each with an airfoil extending span-wise between a root proximate an inner hub of the stator and a tip. A fillet is disposed at the leading edge of the root of the airfoil, and extends between a pressure side surface of the airfoil and the inner hub.

摘要: A vane diffuser for diffusing gases is disclosed. The diffuser has an annular diffuser body including a plurality of diffuser vanes defining diffuser passages. The diffuser passages are circumferentially distributed. A direction of main gas flow through the diffuser passages is defined from a passage inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the compressor to a passage outlet. A plurality of fluid injection conduits each extend between a conduit inlet and a conduit outlet for at least one of the diffuser vanes. The conduit outlet defines at least one opening in at least one of the pressure and suction side surfaces and is configured to inject fluid along one of the pressure and suction side surfaces in the direction of main gas flow through the corresponding diffuser passage.

摘要: An impeller comprises a hub and blades extending therefrom. The blades include splitter blades interspersed between full blades. First flow channels are defined between pressure sides of the splitter blades and suction sides of the full blades. Second flow channels are defined between suction sides of the splitter blades and pressure sides of the full blades. A width of the first flow channels at leading edges of the splitter blades and at the hub is less than a width of the second flow channels at the leading edges of the splitter blades and at the hub. The width of the first flow channels at the leading edges of the splitter blades and at the tips is more than the width of the second flow channels at the leading edges of the splitter blades and at the tips.

摘要: A compressor rotor airfoil in a gas turbine engine is presented. Opposed pressure and suction sides are joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges. The pressure and suction sides extend in a span direction from a root to a tip. A leading edge dihedral angle is defined at a point on the leading edge between a tangent to the airfoil and a vertical. The leading edge dihedral angle has a span-wise distribution. The distribution has at least one inflection point. A method of reducing a rub angle between a compressor rotor blade and a casing surrounding the blade is also presented.

摘要: A compressor airfoil in a gas turbine engine is presented. Opposed pressure and suction sides are joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges. The pressure and suction sides extend in a span direction from a root to a tip of the airfoil. A leading edge sweep angle is defined relative to a tangent to the airfoil and flow velocity vector at a point on the leading edge. A leading edge dihedral angle is defined relative to the tangent to the airfoil and a vertical at the point on the leading edge. A ratio of the leading edge sweep angle to the leading edge dihedral angle being smaller than 1. A method of forming such airfoil is also presented.

摘要: The centrifugal compressor described includes an impeller shroud which encloses the impeller and has a curved shroud surface that extends between an inducer portion and an exducer portion. The compressor includes one or more circumferential grooves in the shroud body within the exducer portion. Each groove has opposed wall segments spaced apart therefrom. The wall segments are inclined at a nonzero groove angle relative to a normal of the shroud surface in a direction opposite the fluid flow path along the shroud surface.

摘要: A gas turbine engine compressor includes a rotor defining a central axis of rotation and a plurality of blades which project into an annular compressor gas flow passage, and a shroud circumferentially surrounding the rotor and having a radially inner surface adjacent to the blade tips. Bleed holes extend through the shroud adjacent the blade tips, each of the bleed holes having an inlet end disposed in the shroud radially inner surface and an outlet end disposed in a shroud radially outer surface. Bleed air removed from the annular gas flow passage flows through the bleed holes from the inlet to the outlet ends. The outlet end of each bleed hole is located circumferentially upstream of the inlet end relative to a direction of rotational flow in the annular gas flow passage driven by a direction of rotation of the rotor.
