Abstract:
An assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a disk, a cover plate providing a cavity at a first axial side of the disk, a passageway including an inlet provided by a notch in at least one of the disk and the cover plate in fluid communication with the cavity, and the passageway extending from the inlet to an exit provided at a second axial side of the disk opposite the first axial side, the exit in fluid communication with the inlet, and the passageway configured to provide fluid flow from the cavity to the exit.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component comprises a blade having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade is mounted to a disc and configured for rotation about an axis. A platform supports the blade, and has a fore edge portion at the leading edge and an aft edge portion at the trailing edge. At least one of the fore edge portion and aft edge portion includes a mouth portion defined by an inner wing and an outer wing spaced radially outward of the inner wing. At least one coverplate is retained against the disc by the inner wing. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A rotor blade comprises a root section, an airfoil section, a leading edge cooling cavity, an intermediate cooling cavity, and a trailing edge cooling cavity. The leading edge, intermediate, and trailing edge cooling cavities each extend spanwise through the airfoil section from a coolant inlet passage in the root section, and each terminate proximate the airfoil tip.
Abstract:
A method includes determining a vibration characteristic of a shrouded turbine blade, which includes an airfoil attached to a shroud. A corner of the shrouded turbine blade can be removed after determining the vibration characteristic.
Abstract:
A turbine engine assembly arranged relative to an axis includes a rotor blade and a feather seal with an L-shaped geometry. The rotor blade includes an airfoil and a base. The airfoil extends axially between an upstream leading edge and a downstream trailing edge, and radially out from the base. The base includes a neck and a pocket. The neck extends axially to a downstream surface. The pocket extends laterally into the neck. The feather seal extends laterally into the pocket, and includes a downstream leg that extends substantially along the downstream surface.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section. The turbine section includes a disk that is rotatable about an axis. A plurality of turbine blades are mounted around a periphery of the disk, and a plurality of seals are arranged between the turbine blades and the periphery of the disk. Each of the seals includes, with respect to the axis, a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The radially inner surface includes a plurality of protrusions.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes first and second walls spaced apart from one another to provide a cooling passage. First and second trip strips are respectively provided on the first and second walls and arranged to face one another. The first and second trip strips are arranged in an interleaved fashion with respect to one another in a direction.
