摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a cooling and sealing air system for a gas turbine power plant operating in a configuration that includes a stoichiometric exhaust gas recirculation configuration. A user may have flexibility in determining where the cooling and sealing flow derives. This may include an enhanced oil recovery system, a concentrated carbon system, etc.

A thermal actuator is provided and includes an expansion material disposed and configured to move a movable element from a first movable element position toward a second movable element position in accordance with an expansion condition of the expansion material. The expansion material includes an inorganic salt mixture or a metal oxide mixture.

A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein includes positioning a jacketed core with respect to a mold. The jacketed core includes a hollow structure formed from at least a first material and a first catalyst, and an inner core disposed within the hollow structure. The method also includes introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, and cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component. The inner core defines the internal passage within the component.

A mold assembly for use in forming a component having an internal passage defined therein includes a mold defining a mold cavity therein, and a jacketed core positioned with respect to the mold. The jacketed core includes a hollow structure, and an inner core disposed within the hollow structure and positioned to define the internal passage within the component when a component material in a molten state is introduced into the mold cavity and cooled to form the component. The jacketed core also includes a first coating layer disposed between the hollow structure and the inner core.

A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein includes forming a precursor core having a shape corresponding to a shape of the internal passage, and forming a hollow structure around the precursor core. The method also includes removing the precursor core from within the hollow structure, and disposing an inner core within the hollow structure to form a jacketed core. The method further includes positioning the jacketed core with respect to a mold, and introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, such that the component material in the molten state at least partially absorbs the hollow structure from a portion of the jacketed core within the cavity. Additionally, the method includes cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component. The inner core defines the internal passage within the component.

A thermal valve is disclosed. The thermal valve may provide one or more flows of cooling fluid to a hot cavity within a cooling circuit of a gas turbine engine. The thermal valve may include a temperature sensitive element and a valve assembly in communication with the temperature sensitive element. The valve assembly may include at least one inlet in fluid communication with at least one cooling fluid source, at least one outlet in fluid communication with the hot cavity, and at least one valve in communication with the temperature sensitive element. The at least one valve may be disposed between the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet. The temperature sensitive element may be configured to move the at least one valve between a closed position and an open position.

A turbine blade that includes an airfoil defined by a concave shaped pressure side outer wall and a convex shaped suction side outer wall that connect along leading and trailing edges and, therebetween, form a radially extending chamber for receiving the flow of a coolant. The turbine blade may further include a rib configuration that partitions the chamber into radially extending flow passages, and a blade outer shell that defines an outer surface of the airfoil. The rib configuration is a non-integral component to the blade outer shell.
