The acoustic resonator (105) is enclosed by a housing (106) which defines around the acoustic resonator (105) a closed auxiliary chamber (160) which communicates only with the precombustion chamber (101) by at least one conduit (107).
摘要:
A separator (10) for a two-head combustion chamber which comprises a plurty of segments (11) that are arrayed circumferentially and spaced apart a distance (x) from one another and that are affixed to appropriately shaped sheetmetal (12, 13) of the combustion chamber. Each segment (11) is shaped as an elongated, hollow body with an upper wall (17) and a lower wall (18). The segments are cooled by air from an upstream portion of an end of the combustion chamber entering the segments (11) and exhausting by a plurality of orifices (34) in the segment walls (17, 18). The upper and lower segment walls (17) and (18) are respectively heat-protected by two sets of tiles (40, 41), each of the tiles straddling two adjacent segments, being spaced a distance from the walls (17, 18) to subtend an enclosed space (46, 47) therebetween, and having at least one tile orifice (48, 49, 50) which allows the cooling air from the segments (11) to exhaust into the heads.

A high bypass ratio turbojet engine comprising a fan rotated by the shaft of a low pressure turbine via a speed reducer is provided with a thrust reverser device by providing the speed reducer with first and second epicyclic gear trains which are mounted in parallel between the low pressure turbine and the fan and which are arranged in such a way as to drive the fan in a first direction of rotation when the engine is operated in a direct thrust mode, and to drive the fan in the opposite direction of rotation when the engine is to be operated in the reverse thrust mode.
摘要:
An optical-fiber polarimetric sensor for measuring the displacement of an object relative to a frame, the sensor comprising a measurement optical fiber secured, over a fraction of its length, both to a central point of the object and to first and second fixed points of the frame, means disposed at one end of the measurement fiber and serving to emit a light beam of determined polarization into said measurement fiber, means for exerting twist on the measurement fiber so as to modify the polarization of the light beam, and means disposed at another end of the measurement fiber and serving firstly to detect the resulting light beam and secondly to determine the displacement of the object by analyzing the polarization modified in this way, wherein said measurement fiber is stripped, over said fraction of its length, of the covering that imparts mechanical strength thereto, and it is slid into a deformable guide sheath fixed both to the rotary object and also to the frame. Preferably, the deformable guide sheath is made of fine steel, and it may lined with a flexible protective sheath.
摘要:
The matrix of the composite material is made in sequenced manner by chemical vapor infiltration within fiber reinforcement. Each elementary sequence of the matrix comprises a relatively flexible layer and a relatively rigid ceramic layer, and the sequences are of thicknesses that increase going away from the reinforcing fibers, with the thickness at least of the first-deposited sequence being selected to be sufficiently small for the fibers to be coated in essentially individual manner. The flexible layers are made of an anisotropic material having sufficient capacity for elastic deformation in shear and transversely, and although a mainly ceramic character is conserved for the matrix, the thickness of the flexible layers is nevertheless selected to be sufficiently large to be capable of absorbing differential expansion of the components of the composite material while it is being made without inducing the existence of an initial network of cracks.
摘要:
A combustion chamber is disclosed for a turbojet engine in which the combustion chamber has a forward intake, a rear exit and a perforated casing extending between the intake and exit. The combustion chamber also has at least two rows of insulating tiles arrayed on the casing in forward and rear rows with both rows extending circumferentially around the inner surface of the casing bounding the combustion chamber. Each rear tile has a forward edge portion with a sloping wall and each forward tile has a tapered rear edge portion overlapping the forward edge portion with a clearance therebetween such that the tampered rear edge portion and the sloping wall bound a slot opening into the combustion chamber and slanting towards the rear of the combustion chamber to facilitate the formation of an air cooling film on inner surfaces of the tiles. The cooling air passes through the perforated casing, into the space between the casing and the tiles, through the clearance between the tiles and through the slot into the combustion chamber.
摘要:
Between the start and the end of the chemical vapor infiltration process, filtration conditions are modified by causing at least one of the following infiltration parameters to vary: retention time of the gas, pressure, temperature, concentration of precursor in the gas, and concentration of dopant, if any, in the gas; thereby adapting infiltration conditions to changes in the porometry of the substrate in order to control the microstructure of the material deposited within the substrate, in particular in order to conserve a microstructure that is constant.
摘要:
An interposition layer (12) is formed on the outside surface of a part (10) made of thermostructural composite material containing carbon, and a metal case is formed by casting molten metal (22) around the part provided with its interposition layer. The interposition layer has closed porosity and it is proof against the metal of the case, such that shrinkage of the metal during cooling is absorbed by compacting or collapsing the porosity of the interposition layer, thereby preserving the integrity of the metal case, and the interposition layer constitutes a diffusion barrier preventing eutetics forming by contact between the metal of the case and the composite material.
摘要:
A turbine vane-system cooling system uses three internal cooling cavities 1, 12, 13) separated by two radial walls (9, 10). The upstream cavity (11) uses a helical ramp (30) and is fed through an intake (22) at the vane root (3). The middle cavity (12) also is fed at the vane root (3) and includes a compartmented, multi-perforated lining (40). The air is exhausted from each compartment through impact orifices and enters the succeeding compartment through slots (42) and then is finally exhausted through a vane-head orifice (21). The vane side walls opposite the downstream cavity (13) have double skins with bridging elements. The air passes through these double skins but circulates centrifugally in the upstream portion (15) of the downstream cavity (13) and enters this cavity's downstream portion (16) to be exhausted through slots (19) in the trailing edge (6). A third wall (14) divides the downstream cavity (13) into two parts (15, 16).
摘要:
A composite material protected by oxidation at intermediate temperatures exceeding 850.degree. C. comprises fiber reinforcement densified by a matrix which includes at least one self-healing phase including a glass-precursor component such as B.sub.4 C or an Si--B--C system, together with excess free carbon (C) at a mass percentage lying in the range 10% to 35%. The, or each, self-healing phase can be interposed between two ceramic matrix phases, e.g. of SiC. While the material is exposed to an oxidizing medium, oxidation of the free carbon promotes oxidation of the precursor and transformation thereof into a glass capable of plugging the cracks in the matrix by self-healing.
