Abstract: A hydrocarbon fluid system including a hydrocarbon fluid conduit and an oxygen gettering assembly. The hydrocarbon fluid conduit has a fluid passage through which hydrocarbon fluid flows. The hydrocarbon fluid includes oxygen and has an oxygen content. The oxygen gettering assembly is disposed relative to the hydrocarbon fluid conduit such that an oxygen getter comes into contact with the hydrocarbon fluid as the hydrocarbon fluid flows through the fluid passage to reduce the oxygen content of the hydrocarbon fluid. The oxygen gettering assembly may be a part of a deoxygenation system that also includes a sparging system. The hydrocarbon fluid may be a fuel used in a gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A fuel system including a fuel metering unit, a heat exchanger, a plurality of fuel nozzles, and a coke filtration system. The fuel metering unit is configured to meter a flow of a hydrocarbon fuel. The heat exchanger is fluidly connected to the fuel metering unit. The heat exchanger is configured to heat the hydrocarbon fuel to improve engine performance or efficiency. The plurality of fuel nozzles is fluidly connected to the heat exchanger downstream of the heat exchanger to receive the hydrocarbon fuel heated by the heat exchanger. The coke filtration system includes at least one filter to remove coke particles in the heated fuel. The coke filtration system is located upstream of the plurality of fuel nozzles and directly downstream of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core cowl and a core contained within the core cowl. The core includes a compressor in fluid communication with a downstream combustor and a downstream turbine, the compressor including a compressor bleed port, wherein an undercowl space is defined between the core cowl and the core. The gas turbine engine further includes a cooling duct disposed at least partially in the undercowl space and having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the cooling duct is in fluid communication with a source of cooling air and is further in fluid communication with the compressor bleed port; a valve assembly including at least one valve disposed in the cooling duct; and a cooling blower disposed within the engine and operable to move an air flow from the inlet of the cooling duct towards the outlet of the cooling duct and through the compressor bleed port.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising a fuel nozzle and an annular shroud. The fuel nozzle comprises a centerbody extended along a lengthwise direction. The fuel nozzle defines a nozzle centerline extended through the centerbody of the fuel nozzle along the lengthwise direction. The fuel nozzle defines a plurality of exit openings in circumferential arrangement on the centerbody relative to the nozzle centerline. The annular shroud surrounds the centerbody of the fuel nozzle. At least a portion of the shroud defines a contoured structure defining a waveform.

Abstract: A combustor of a turbine engine combusts fuel and air. The combustor includes a dome and a heat shield fastened to the dome. The heat shield is unconstrained relative to dome, to permit relative thermal expansion and contraction in a radial direction. A heat shield inner portion is generally annular in shape, is arranged about a dome eyelet longitudinal centerline axis, is smaller in diameter than a dome inner portion, and is assembled inside of the dome inner portion. A plurality of pinned assemblies fastens the heat shield to dome. Each pinned assembly includes a fastener with a pin end, the pin end assembled in a clearance fit into a hole in the heat shield inner portion. The fastener is fixed to the dome inner portion, the pin end sliding in the hole in the heat shield during relative thermal expansion and contraction between the dome and the heat shield.
