摘要:
A gas turbine system having a plasma actuator flow control arrangement including a compressor section for compressing an airstream, wherein the compressor section includes at least one inlet guide vane for controlling the airstream proximate an inlet portion of the compressor section. Also included is a turbine inlet assembly for ingesting the airstream to be routed to the compressor section. Further included is a plasma actuator disposed within at least one of the inlet portion of the compressor section and the turbine inlet assembly for controllably producing an electric field to manipulate a portion of the airstream.

A splitter is provided for improving a pressure recovery of a compressor discharge casing (CDC) by substantially aligning a fluid vortex about a longitudinal axis of a gas turbine engine. The CDC includes an annular wall that extends generally axially along at least a portion of the CDC. The CDC is configured to house a first combustor and a second combustor. The splitter extends from the annular wall between the first and second combustors. The splitter includes a first surface that is configured to direct fluid towards the first combustor and a second surface that is configured to direct fluid towards the second combustor.

A diffuser for a turbine engine, including an annular casing to seal compressor discharge air and struts attached to the casing to delimit an annular array of intra-strut regions, is provided and includes a ring portion, including a ring shaped annular body with a forward face disposed on a forward side thereof, the ring portion being supportable by one or more of the struts, and a splitter portion, including a ring shaped annular body with an aft face disposed on an aft side thereof to mate with the forward face of the ring portion body, the splitter portion further including a lead edge, on a forward side of the splitter portion body, which is extendable into a flow path of the compressor discharge air to split the flow path into secondary flow paths defined radially outside of and inside of the splitter portion body.
摘要:
An inlet guide vane having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of x, y, and z set forth in TABLE 1 reduces vibration of engine components at various operating conditions. A scaling factor can be applied to the values to make the airfoil larger or smaller. The TABLE 1 x and y values are distances in inches within a tolerance which, when connected by smooth curves, define airfoil profile sections at each distance z in inches, the profile sections being joined smoothly to form a complete airfoil shape. The tolerance in an embodiment is up to about 0.16 inches.
摘要:
A method of assembling an ejector is provided, wherein the method includes providing a motive nozzle tip having a centerline axis and including a nozzle tip edge having at least one protrusion extending through a plane substantially normal to the centerline axis. The method also includes coupling the motive nozzle tip to the ejector.
