Abstract: Integrated combustor nozzles and turbomachines are provided. An integrated combustor nozzle includes a cooling insert having a flange. The cooling insert further includes a first wall and a second wall that each define respective passages therein. The first wall and the second wall each extend from an open end defined within the flange to a closed end. The first wall and the second wall each include an impingement side spaced apart from a solid side. Each impingement side defines a plurality of impingement apertures configured to direct coolant from the respective passage towards a side wall of the combustion liner. The cooling inserts further includes a collection passageway that is defined between the solid sides of the first wall and the second wall.

Abstract: Apparatuses for generating carbon particles and exhaust gas used by gas turbine systems are disclosed. One apparatus may include a decarbonization component combusting or reacting a mixture of a fuel and a mixing gas to generate the carbon particles and the exhaust gas and an exhaust conduit to receive the exhaust gas generated by the decarbonization component. The apparatus may also include a mixing duct in fluid communication with the exhaust conduit and the gas turbine system. The mixing duct may receive the exhaust gas and provide the exhaust gas to the gas turbine system to be used to produce a working fluid within the gas turbine system. The apparatus may further include a carbon particle collection component for receiving and storing the generated carbon particles.

Abstract: A fluid mixing apparatus includes mixing conduits that extend through a fluid plenum. The fluid plenum, which surrounds a first wall defining a main passage fluidly coupled to a low-pressure fluid source, is surrounded itself by a second wall defining a high-pressure plenum fluidly coupled to a high-pressure fluid source. An insulated tube disposed at the inlet of the first wall delivers a third fluid. The mixing conduits fluidly couple the high-pressure plenum to the main passage, where the high-pressure fluid is mixed with low-pressure fluid and the third fluid. Optionally, the fluid plenum may house a fourth fluid that is injected through injection holes in the mixing conduits. The fluid mixing apparatus may be used to mix one or more fuels with high- and low-pressure air in a gas turbine combustor. Alternately, the fluid mixing apparatus may mix a fluid with high- and low-pressure water streams.

Abstract: An effusion cooling element for the surface of a hot gas path (HGP) component is disclosed. The effusion cooling element includes a coolant swirling chamber embedded within the body of the HGP component. A coolant delivery passage is in the body and configured to deliver a coolant to the coolant swirling chamber. The coolant swirling chamber imparts a centrifugal force to the coolant. An effusion opening is in the HGP surface and in fluid communication with the coolant swirling chamber, the effusion opening having a smaller width than the coolant swirling chamber. The coolant exits the effusion opening over substantially all of 360° about the effusion opening, creating a coolant film on the HGP surface.

Abstract: An insert system for an airfoil is provided. The airfoil includes a plenum that extends into an aft portion of the airfoil. The plenum includes a plenum inlet and an entirety of the plenum inlet is defined axially forward of the aft portion. The insert system includes a first and second insert. The first insert and the second insert include a plurality of impingement openings defined therein. The first insert includes a first neck portion. The first insert is sized for insertion into the plenum radially through the plenum inlet and the first insert is movable aftward within the plenum into an installed position such that the first neck portion is positioned aftward in the plenum inlet. The second insert is sized for insertion into the plenum radially through the plenum inlet forward of the first neck portion in the installed position.

Abstract: A segmented annular combustion system includes an alternating arrangement of fuel nozzles and integrated combustor nozzles. The fuel nozzles deliver fuel to the primary combustion zones. The integrated combustor nozzles include an inner liner segment, an outer liner segment, and a fuel injection panel extending between the liner segments. The fuel injection panel includes injection outlets on one or both side walls to deliver a combustible mixture to the secondary combustion zones. Each fuel injection panel, which provides a boundary between adjacent primary and secondary combustion zones, includes an aft end that defines a turbine nozzle. The segmented annular combustion system is part of a gas turbine.

Abstract: A flexible seal for sealing between two adjacent gas turbine components includes a forward end, an aft end axially separated from the forward end, and an intermediate portion between the forward end and the aft end. The intermediate portion defines a continuous curve in the circumferential direction, such that the aft end is circumferentially offset from the forward end. In other cases, the forward and aft ends are axially, radially, and circumferentially offset from one another. A method of sealing using the flexible seal includes inserting, in an axial direction, the aft end of the flexible seal into a recess defined by respective seal slots of two adjacent gas turbine components; and pushing the flexible seal in an axial direction through the recess until the forward end is disposed within the recess.
