Abstract: A turbine engine includes a pressurized fluid source, a duct system comprising a plurality of ducts in fluid communication with the pressurized fluid source, and a duct failure detection system. The duct failure detection system includes a plurality of pressure sensors. Each of the plurality of pressure sensors is in operable communication with two ducts of the plurality of ducts. Each of the plurality of ducts has at least two pressure sensors of the plurality of pressure sensors in operable communication therewith.

Abstract: An annular fluid flow control or metering device comprises: first and second annular plates disposed in an annular flow path, the first annular plate and second annular plates being made of different first and second materials, the first annular plate having a lower first coefficient of thermal expansion than a second coefficient of thermal expansion of the second annular plate, the first annular plate abutting or in contact with the second annular plate, the first annular plate including at least one first metering aperture, and the second annular plate being more thermally responsive than the first annular plate wherein the second annular plate being configured to radially grow and shrink to at least partly obstruct the at least one first metering aperture for metering or controlling a flow of fluid through the at least one first metering aperture.

Abstract: Rotor thrust balancing systems for turbomachines and methods of using the same are generally disclosed. For example, a rotor thrust balancing system for a turbomachine, wherein the turbomachine defines a centerline extending the length of the turbomachine. The system includes a rotating drive shaft, a thrust bearing, and a first waveguide sensor. The rotating drive shaft couples a turbine section and a compressor section of the turbomachine. The thrust bearing supports the rotating drive shaft of the turbomachine. The thrust bearing includes a plurality of ball bearings, an inner race coupled to the rotating drive shaft, and an outer race coupled to a fixed structure. The first waveguide sensor is coupled to the outer race at a first end of the waveguide sensor. The waveguide sensor communicates a vibrational frequency from the thrust bearing to a second end of the waveguide sensor.
