Abstract: A transition duct assembly includes a shared connector, and a plurality of primary cooling pathways for cooling one or more systems or components. Each primary cooling pathway includes a transition duct in fluid communication with the shared connector, and a transition connector in fluid communication with the transition duct.

Abstract: A method for selectively modulating bleed air used for cooling a downstream turbine section in a gas turbine engine. The method including: measuring an engine and/or aircraft performance parameter by an engine sensor device; comparing the engine and/or aircraft performance parameter to a performance threshold; determining a bleed trigger condition, if the engine and/or aircraft performance parameter crosses the performance threshold; determining a non-cooling condition, if the engine and/or aircraft performance parameter is below the performance threshold; actuating a flow control valve to an open position, in response to the bleed trigger condition, so that bleed air is extracted from the compressor section and flowed to the downstream turbine section; and terminating, in response to the non-cooling condition, the flow of the bleed air to the downstream turbine section of the engine by actuating the flow control valve to a closed position.

Abstract: A valve assembly for an engine, the valve assembly can include a housing; an in-flow port configured for connection with a drain line; a first out-flow port configured for connection with a fuel line; a second out-flow port configured for connection with a disposal line; and a passageway that is rotatable with a handle, the passageway being operable to redirect a flow of a fluid between the fuel line and the disposal line. The handle is configured to impede an attachment of the fluid source to a water wash connection when the passageway is in a position to direct the flow of the fluid from the drain line to the fuel line.
