    摘要: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a static structure and an impeller rotor housed within the static structure. The impeller rotor includes a vane structure and a shroud. The vane structure includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a plurality of vanes arranged circumferentially about a rotational axis. The vanes include a first vane. The first vane includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion is axially between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The second portion is radially between the first sidewall and the shroud. The third portion is radially between the second sidewall and the shroud. The shroud circumscribes the vane structure. A gap is formed by and extends between the shroud and the static structure. A dimension of the gap changes as the gap extends along the shroud.

    摘要: A system for controlling blade clearances within a gas turbine engine includes a rotor disk and a rotor blade coupled to the rotor disk. Additionally, the system includes an outer turbine component positioned outward of the rotor blade such that a clearance is defined between the rotor blade and the outer turbine component. Furthermore, the system includes a heat exchanger configured to receive a flow of cooling air bled from the gas turbine engine and transfer heat from the received flow of the cooling air to a flow of coolant to generate cooled cooling air. Moreover, the system includes a valve configured to control the flow of the coolant to the heat exchanger. In this respect, the cooled cooling air is supplied to at least one of the rotor disk or the rotor blade to adjust the clearance between the rotor blade and the outer turbine component.

    摘要: The present technique presents a blade 1 for a gas turbine 10. The blade 1 includes an airfoil 100 having an airfoil tip part 100a and a pressure side 102 and a suction side 104 meeting at a leading edge 106 and a trailing edge 108 and defining an internal space 100s of the airfoil 100. A squealer tip 80, 90 is arranged at the airfoil tip part 100a. The squealer tip 80, 90 comprises a suction side rail 90. The suction side rail 90 comprises a chamfer part 90x and at least one squealer tip cooling hole 99. The chamfer part 90x comprises a chamfer surface 9. An outlet 99a of the at least one squealer tip cooling hole 99 is disposed at the chamfer surface 9.
