Abstract: A gas turbine engine having a heat absorption device and an associated method are disclosed. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, a bleed fluid cavity, and the heat absorption device. The combustor is coupled to the compressor. The turbine is coupled to the compressor and the combustor. The bleed fluid cavity is formed at a first predefined location in the compressor. The heat absorption device is disposed in the bleed fluid cavity and includes a casing, a flow path, and a phase change material. The casing includes an inlet and an outlet. The flow path is within the casing, extends between the inlet and the outlet, and directs an input bleed fluid separated from a fluid stream discharged from the compressor. The phase change material is filled in the casing, separated from the flow path.

Abstract: A fan assembly is provided. The fan assembly includes a fan, a fan casing circumscribing the fan, and a fan casing heating system in thermal communication with the fan casing. The fan includes a hub, and a plurality of fan blades extending from the hub. Each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades terminates at a respective blade tip. A clearance gap is defined between the fan casing and the blade tips. The fan casing heating system is configured to apply heat to the fan casing when the fan is operating in a first operational mode, and remove the applied heat when the fan transitions into a second operational mode.

Abstract: A turbine assembly includes a rotor assembly including a shaft coupled to a plurality of rotor stages including a plurality of turbine blades. The shaft and the plurality of turbine blades define a wheelspace therein. The turbine assembly further includes a plurality of seals in series, at least one seal of the plurality of seals is coupled between a static support member and a respective rotor stage such that a plurality of turbine cavities in series are defined within the wheelspace. Each turbine cavity of the plurality of turbine cavities defined by the plurality of seals receives a pressurized fluid flow that applies an axially aft force to the respective rotor stage of the plurality of rotor stages that at least partially reduces net rotor thrust generated by the rotor assembly during operation, the pressurized fluid flow further provides turbine purge within the wheel space.

Abstract: A turbine engine includes a cooling air duct for cooling air positioned radially between a core air flow path for core air and a bypass airflow passage for bypass air. A heat exchanger is positioned in the cooling air duct to transfer heat from a heat source from within the turbine engine. The heat exchanger may be a condenser. The turbine engine may further include a steam system that extracts water from the combustion gases, vaporizes the water to generate steam, and injects the steam into the core air flow path, the steam system including the condenser to transfer heat from the combustion gases to the cooling air and to condense the water from the combustion gases. The turbine engine may further include a booster fan to increase the pressure of the cooling air and the core air.

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 3.1-5.1.

Abstract: A turbomachine engine including an engine core including a high-pressure compressor, which has an exit stage having an exit stage diameter (DCORE), a high-pressure turbine, and a combustion chamber in flow communication with the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine, a power turbine in flow communication with the high-pressure turbine, and a low-pressure shaft coupled to the power turbine and characterized by a midshaft rating (MSR) between two hundred (ft/sec)1/2 and three hundred (ft/sec)1/2. The low-pressure shaft has a redline speed between fifty and two hundred fifty feet per second (ft/sec). The turbomachine engine is configured to operate up to the redline speed without passing through a critical speed associated with a first-order bending mode of the low-pressure shaft. The low-pressure shaft has a length (LMSR) defined by an engine core length (LCORE) given by: LCORE=[m(20+m)*n(10+n)](1/100)*DCORE+CIS.
