A combustion liner for a gas turbine engine. The combustion liner defines a bypass direction which extends between an upstream portion and a downstream portion of the combustion liner in use, the combustion liner. The combustion liner comprises a liner wall for defining at least a portion of a combustion chamber, the liner wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and a depth between the outer and inner surfaces of the combustion liner in use. The combustion liner comprises a chute formed through the liner wall for conveying fluid from the outer surface through the liner wall and ejecting fluid from an exhaust hole of the chute on the inner surface, the exhaust hole having a length L along the bypass direction. The combustion liner also comprises a fluid-guiding surface at an upstream side of the chute which defines an arc terminating at the exhaust hole, the fluid guiding surface configured to guide fluid from a direction generally parallel to the outer surface into the chute to be ejected from the chute exhaust hole at a direction generally perpendicular to the inner surface.

A gas turbine engine includes a low speed spool mechanically interconnecting a low pressure turbine and at least one of a fan and a prop, a high speed spool mechanically interconnecting a high pressure turbine and a high pressure compressor, and an epicyclic gear system mechanically coupled to the high speed spool. The gas turbine engine also includes a low pressure compressor mechanically coupled to the high speed spool via the epicyclic gear system. The low pressure compressor may be mechanically independent of the low speed spool. The gas turbine engine may include a plurality of motor-generators for transferring power between the high speed spool and the low pressure compressor.

A propulsion engine for an aircraft comprises an enclosure having a longitudinal axis oriented in a direction of travel of an aircraft, the enclosure including a series of walls and a plurality of ducts arranged along the longitudinal axis. Each of the ducts including a number of walls that are either dynamic or static in movement. Each of the ducts includes a central axis that is angled at, or can be adjusted to, an angle toward the front wall of the enclosure such that a top end of each duct is toward the front wall of the enclosure. A fan is disposed in each of the ducts configured to generate airflow along the respective central axes from the top end to the bottom end to provide lift and thrust to the aircraft.
摘要:
A method of monitoring a first freewheel interposed between a first drive shaft of a first engine and a rotor. The state of operation of said first freewheel is correct if the first inlet speed of rotation of the first drive shaft lies in a second range of values corresponding to the current stage of operation while the outlet speed of rotation of the rotor lies in a first range of values corresponding to the current stage of operation.
摘要:
A waste heat utilization apparatus is provided with a Rankine cycle and a power transmission mechanism that transmits power regenerated by an expander to an engine. The power transmission mechanism includes an expander clutch that interrupts or permits the transmission of the power from the expander to the engine. The expander includes a rotational speed sensor that detects a rotational speed of the expander. An increase in friction of the expander is detected on the basis of an increase in the rotational speed of the expander detected by the rotational speed sensor when the expander clutch is disconnected.
摘要:
Systems and methods to control an amount of axial clearance within a clutch transmission system are disclosed. A propulsion system includes a clutch transmission system having clutch vibratory response clearance control logic configured to iteratively control the amount of axial clearance within the clutch transmission system so as to achieve a desired, e.g., consistent and/or limited, clutch vibratory response.
