Abstract: A passive clearance control limits thermal expansion between stator components relative to rotor components. A control ring controls clearance in a passive manner and is located on or adjacent to stationary components which thermally expand during engine operation. The control ring is formed of material having low coefficient of thermal expansion such as CMCs (Ceramic Matrix Composites) and therefore limits, inhibits or restrains expansion of the adjacent stator components as temperatures increase. Limiting expansion of the stator component reduces rotor/stator clearances and limits parasitic leakage of fluid along the flow path through the engine core.

Abstract: A turbomachine engine includes an engine core including a high-pressure compressor, a high-pressure turbine, and a combustion chamber. The engine core has a length (LCORE), and the high-pressure compressor has an exit stage diameter (DCORE). A power turbine is in flow communication with the high-pressure turbine. A low-pressure shaft is coupled to the power turbine and characterized by a midshaft rating from one hundred fifty (ft/sec)1/2 to three hundred thirty (ft/sec)1/2. The low-pressure shaft has a redline speed between fifty and two hundred fifty feet per second. 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. A high-pressure shaft is coupled to the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine and is characterized by a high-speed shaft rating from 1.5 to 6.2, and a ratio of LCORE/DCORE is from 2.1 to 4.3.

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 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 four 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 2.0-5.1. Additionally (or alternatively) the low-pressure turbine includes an area-EGT ratio within a range of 1.05-1.6.

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.
