    摘要: A centrifugal compressor of an aircraft engine includes an impeller and a shroud extending circumferentially around the impeller. A bellmouth disposed upstream of the impeller extends circumferentially and includes: a conduit section extending from a first end to an upstream-most location of the bellmouth, the first end of the conduit section secured to the shroud, and a peripheral section extending from the upstream-most location to a second end located radially outwardly of the first end, the peripheral section located radially outwardly of the conduit section and axially overlapping the conduit section. A stiffening member is located on the peripheral section of the bellmouth proximate the second end. The stiffening member extends circumferentially and provides the bellmouth with a dynamic vibration mode outside a range of dynamic vibration modes of the aircraft engine during operation.

    摘要: An inlet duct for a nacelle of a ducted fan engine includes an inlet portion at an upstream end of the inlet duct, an acoustic liner arranged downstream of the inlet portion, and a fan section arranged downstream of the acoustic liner. The inlet portion and the acoustic liner are coupled together at an inlet-acoustic liner interface extending circumferentially about the inner surface of the inlet duct, and the acoustic liner and the fan section are coupled together at a fan section hardwall-acoustic liner interface extending circumferentially about the inner surface of the inlet duct. At least one of the acoustic liner, the inlet-acoustic liner interface, and the fan section hardwall-acoustic liner interface having a structure that circumferentially alters a magnitude and a phase of an acoustic wave reflection of the inlet duct to attenuate flutter bite of a fan.

    摘要: A box-shaped air intake silencer with vertical baffles for a gas turbine system. The box-shaped silencer has a silencer housing having opposing ends with a first end closed and a second end opened to permit passage of air. Opposing sidewalls extend between the first end and the second end with each of the sidewalls operative to receive a perpendicular flow of intake air. A silencer having vertically, spaced baffles are disposed within the housing. A first end of the baffles face the first end of the housing and a second end of the baffles faces the second end of the housing. Each of the baffles extend horizontally between the first end and the second end of the housing. The baffles receive the perpendicular flow of intake air proximate the first end of the housing and direct the intake air towards the second end of the housing for passage therethrough.
