    摘要: A center plug for attenuating noise in a gas turbine engine includes an inner skin, a forward bulkhead, and aft bulkhead, and a noise attenuation panel. The inner skin has a substantially cylindrical shape and extending along an axial centerline. The forward bulkhead is disposed proximate a forward end of the inner skin. The forward bulkhead is connected to and extends radially outward from the inner skin. The aft bulkhead is disposed proximate an aft end of the inner skin. The aft bulkhead is connected to and extending radially outward from the inner skin. The noise attenuation panel is positioned intermediate the inner skin and partially divides a region bounded by the inner skin, the forward bulkhead and the aft bulkhead into.

    摘要: A turbine rotor includes a rotor body and a balancing weight slot defined in an exterior circumference of the body. The balancing weight slot has a first axial width and a first radially outward facing surface at a first radial distance from a rotor axis. The rotor also includes a balancing weight entry port defined in a portion of the exterior circumference of the rotor body and aligned with the balancing weight slot. The balancing weight entry port has a second axial width greater than the first axial width and a second radially outward facing surface at a second radial distance from the axis of the rotor body that is smaller than the first radial distance. A method may include machining the entry port into the rotor with a tool. The method may be applied to a new rotor, or to remove cracks initiating from a previous entry port.
