摘要:
A fan-turbine rotor hub includes an outer periphery scalloped by a multitude of elongated openings. Each elongated opening defines an inducer receipt section to receive an inducer section and a hollow fan blade section. An inducer exit from each inducer section is located adjacent a core airflow passage within each fan blade section to provide communication therebetween. A seal is located between an inner fan blade mount and a blade receipt section to minimize airflow leakage between the inducer exit and the core airflow passage.

A fan-turbine rotor assembly (24) includes a multitude of turbine blades (34) which each define a turbine blade passage which bleed air from a diffuser section (74) to provide for regenerative cooling. Regenerative cooling airflow is communicated from the radial core airflow passage (80) through the diffuser passages (144), through diffuser aspiration passages (146A, 146B) and into the turbine blade passages (150a). The regenerative cooling airflow exits from the turbine blade passage (150a) and transfers received thermal energy into an annular combustor (30). The received thermal energy is recovered at the highest temperature in the cycle.

A tip turbine engine comprises a fan-turbine rotor assembly that includes one or more turbine ring rotors. Each turbine ring is assembled from a multitude of turbine blade clusters. Assembly of a multitude of turbine blade clusters to a diffuser includes axial installation and radial rotation. The clusters are axially installed, then rotated toward a radial stop in a direction which will maintain each cluster against the radial stop during operation of the fan-turbine rotor assembly. A multitude of turbine rotor ring stages may also be locked together to future increase the rigidity of the turbine

A fan-turbine rotor assembly includes a diffuser mountable to the outer periphery of a multitude of fan blade sections to provide structural support to the outer tips of the fan blade sections and to turn and diffuse the airflow from the radial core airflow passage toward an axial airflow direction. The diffuser includes a fan blade tip shroud inner portion which forms a planar ring about the multiple of fan blade sections. Diffuser support rings are mounted to the fan blade tip shroud to further share the radial load applied to the fan blade sections by the blade mounted diffuser and annular turbine.

A pulsed combustion apparatus includes a conduit having an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall has a number of apertures. An interior space is separated from the outer wall by the inner wall. An induction system is positioned to cyclicly admit charges to the interior space. An ignition system is positioned to ignite the charges. Flow directing surfaces are positioned to at least cyclicly direct cooling air through the apertures.
