摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor with an inner casing and an outer casing. The inner casing defines a primary flow path for airflow through the compressor, the inner casing and the outer casing define a bleed air cavity therebetween. The inner casing at least partially defines a first bleed air channel between the primary flow path and the first bleed air cavity. The first bleed air channel is defined between a first wall and a second wall, wherein the first wall is upstream from the second wall. The first wall includes a plurality of holes in fluid communication with the primary flow path and fluidly coupled to a suction manifold. The plurality of holes is configured to energize a fluid boundary layer along the first wall.

摘要: A variable area nozzle assembly includes a fixed center plug, a fixed outer nozzle, and an inner nozzle. The fixed center plug includes a plug body and a protrusion. The fixed outer nozzle extends about the fixed center plug. The inner nozzle extends about the fixed center plug. The inner nozzle is disposed between the fixed center plug and the fixed outer nozzle. The inner nozzle forms a primary duct between the inner nozzle and the fixed outer nozzle. The primary duct includes an exit plane. The inner nozzle body forms a secondary duct and a gap. The gap is a nozzle outlet of the secondary duct. The gap includes a gap inlet and a gap outlet. The gap inlet is disposed upstream of the protrusion. The gap outlet is disposed downstream of the protrusion. The inner nozzle body is translatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the primary duct has a first area at the exit plane and the inner nozzle body is disposed at the protrusion. In the second position, the primary duct has a second area at the exit plane and the inner nozzle body is spaced from the protrusion.

摘要: A vane assembly includes vanes, an actuator assembly, and a controller. The vanes are configured to rotate about their pitch axes. The actuator assembly includes an annular ring arranged radially outward of the vanes and coupled to the vanes, a magnet arranged on the annular ring, and a stator arranged adjacent the magnet. The ring is configured to rotate the vanes about the pitch axes in response to rotation of the ring about the central axis and the stator is configured to selectively rotate the magnet and annular ring about the central axis. The controller controls movement of the ring via the stator and magnets in response to at least one of (i) at least one operating condition of the gas turbine engine, or (ii) at least one operating parameter of the at least one first vane.

摘要: Assemblies and methods for directing a flow of air through a compressor section of a gas turbine engine are disclosed. A method includes receiving the flow of air over a strut extending radially across a substantially annular gas path of the gas turbine engine, and at least partially confining and modifying a strut wake generated in the flow of air by the strut using one or more variable orientation guide vanes.

摘要: Methods and systems for a gas turbine engine comprising a modulated bleed valve are provided. The gas turbine engine may comprise a turbine nozzle coupled to a controller, a modulated bleed valve in communication with the controller, and a tangible, non-transitory memory providing instructions to the controller to perform operations. The operations may include receiving parameter values from the parameter sensor at various times, determining desired bleed airflows to flow through the modulated bleed valve at various times, and/or commanding the modulated bleed valve to assume an open configuration or a closed configuration at various times. The modulated bleed valve may be configured to allow bleed airflow to bypass a nozzle choke area of the turbine nozzle and join a nozzle airflow.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a turbine engine part in which a first rough casting element includes a first face and a second face opposite to each other is assembled by the second face on an orifice which has a second element of the part. The method includes machining a through-cavity in the first element which opens at the first face and from the second face of the first element and machining the first face of the first element so as to form an area suitable for ensuring the attachment of a conduit on the first element. The machining of the cavity and of the first face is achieved by using a machining reference frame based on the second element.

摘要: This application provides a temperature gradient control system for a double wall casing of a compressor. The double wall casing may include an inner casing and an outer casing such that a flow of air is pulled through the double wall casing. The temperature gradient control system may include upper discharge piping with an upper modulation valve and a lower discharge piping with a lower modulation valve. The upper modulation valve and/or the lower modulation valve modulate the flow air pulled through the double wall casing to reduce a temperature gradient across the outer casing.
