Abstract: A turbomachinery engine includes a fan assembly, a low-pressure turbine, and a gearbox. The fan assembly includes a plurality of fan blades. The low-pressure turbine includes 3-5 rotating stages. The low-pressure turbine includes an area ratio equal to the annular exit area of an aft-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine divided by the annular exit area of a forward-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine. In some instances, the area ratio is within a range of 2.0-6.5. Additionally (or alternatively) the low-pressure turbine includes an area-EGT ratio within a range of 1.3-1.6.

Abstract: A rotor blade assembly for a turbine engine, including an airfoil blade including an inner diameter end and an outer diameter end, a lower blade carrier coupled to the inner diameter end of the airfoil blade and rigidly coupled to a disk via a pin, an upper blade carrier coupled to the outer diameter end of the airfoil blade, and an outer drum coupled to the upper blade carrier via a radial joint. The radial joint supports radial motion of the upper blade carrier relative to an axis extending through a center of the rotor blade assembly.

Abstract: A turbine engine having a drive shaft rotatable about an axis, a multi-stage compressor, a turbine section, a thrust bearing, and a balance cavity. The thrust bearing being provided between the drive shaft and at least a portion of the multi-stage compressor section and rotationally supporting the drive shaft. During operation of the turbine engine, a first axial force is applied to the thrust bearing by the drive shaft and a second axial force is applied to the thrust bearing in an opposite direction of the first axial force by the balance cavity.

Abstract: A rotor support system for a gas turbine engine includes a rotatable drum rotor and a non-rotatable support casing. The rotor support system includes a bearing assembly configured for positioning between the rotatable drum rotor and the non-rotatable support casing. The bearing assembly includes, at least, a stationary support frame and a rotatable race. Further, the rotatable race is configured to engage the rotatable drum rotor at separate and discrete locations that are circumferentially spaced apart around the rotatable drum rotor.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine having a heat absorption device and an associated method are disclosed. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor having a compressor discharge nozzle, a combustor coupled to the compressor, a turbine coupled to the combustor and the compressor, a fluid flow passage fluidly coupling the compressor and the turbine and bypassing the combustor, and a heat absorption device disposed fluidly along the fluid flow passage at a first predefined location. The heat absorption device includes a casing having an inlet and an outlet, a flow path within the casing and extending between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the flow path directs an input bleed flow diverted from a fluid stream discharged from the compressor, and a phase change material hermetically sealed within the casing. The phase change material is separated from the flow path. The heat absorption device is configured to exchange heat between the phase change material and the input bleed flow to generate an output bleed flow of a different temperature than the input bleed flow and discharge the output bleed flow to a second predefined location different from the first predefined location.
