Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a combustion section, the combustion section including a plurality of fuel nozzles. A fuel delivery system for the gas turbine engine includes a feed tube and a fuel manifold fluidly connected to the feed tube for receiving fuel from the feed tube. The fuel delivery system also includes a pigtail fuel line fluidly connected to the fuel manifold and configured to fluidly connect to a fuel nozzle of the plurality of fuel nozzles when the fuel delivery system is installed in the gas turbine engine. In order to reduce an amount of hydraulic instability of a fuel flow through the fuel delivery system, at least one of the fuel manifold or the pigtail fuel line includes a means for damping a hydraulic instability within the fuel delivery system.

Abstract: A binder jet printed article includes a part having a top portion, a bottom portion, and an overhang extending from the top portion and a support structure formed around the part that may block deformation of the part during post-printing thermal processing. The support structure includes a skid positioned adjacent to the bottom portion that may support the part, a first plurality of support features disposed along an outer perimeter of the skid, and a second plurality of support features disposed on the top portion of the printed part. The first and second plurality of support features form a lattice around the printed part such that the printed part is nested within the support structure.
