Abstract:
A swirler for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler outer body with a swirler threaded section defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A bulkhead support shell for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler boss with a boss threaded section defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a bulkhead support shell with a swirler boss. The combustor also includes a swirler mountable to the swirler boss at a threaded interface defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis.
Abstract:
A swirler is provided for a gas turbine engine. The swirler includes a swirler body with a threaded section and a multiple of circumferentially arranged tabs operable to flex radially outward. The multiple of circumferentially arranged tabs are radially displaced from the threaded section.
Abstract:
A liner panel for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a multiple of heat transfer augmentors. At least one of the multiple of heat transfer augmentors includes a hemi-spherical protuberance.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a vane and a combustor housing that are supported relative to an engine static structure. A retaining assembly clamps the combustor housing and the vane to one another in an axial direction. A circumferential load transfer assembly circumferentially affixes the vane relative to the engine static structure. The retaining assembly is secured to the circumferential load transfer assembly.
Abstract:
A liner panel for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a substrate with a hot side and a cold side; a bond coat on at least one of the hot side and the cold side of the substrate; and a convective feature on the cold side of the substrate of a material different than a material of the substrate. A wall assembly for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a shell with a multiple of impingement flow passages; and a liner panel mounted to the shell, where the panel includes a convective feature which faces the shell. A method of cooling a liner panel for a combustor section of a gas turbine engine includes directing an impingement flow towards a convective feature of a liner panel; and directing an effusion flow though the liner panel.
Abstract:
A liner panel is provided for a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The liner panel includes a multiple of heat transfer augmentors. At least one of the multiple of heat transfer augmentors includes a depression, where the depression includes an entrance to at least one passage through the liner panel.
Abstract:
A liner panel for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a nozzle includes an inner periphery along an axis. The inner periphery includes a flow guide around the axis. A wall assembly for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a support shell with a first inner periphery along an axis. The wall assembly also includes a liner panel with a second inner periphery along the axis, the second inner periphery including a spiral flow guide around the axis. A method of reducing recirculation into a dilution passage in a combustor liner panel of a gas turbine engine includes contouring a dilution passage to match a natural vena contracta of a fluid flowing therethrough.
