摘要: An aircraft propulsion system includes a bottoming cycle where a working fluid is circulated within a closed circuit that includes a bottoming compressor section and a bottoming turbine section. A first heat exchanger provides for thermal energy from a first heat source to be input into the working fluid of the bottoming cycle. A second heat exchanger that is downstream from the first heat exchanger communicates additional thermal energy from a second heat source into the working fluid of the bottoming cycle after the thermal energy from the first heat source is input into the working fluid.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a fan shaft rotatable about an axis, a fan connected to the fan shaft, and an outer housing surrounding the fan to define a bypass passage. A compressor section has both a low pressure compressor that is fixed to rotate with the fan shaft and a high pressure compressor. A turbine section has a low pressure turbine driving a low speed spool and a high pressure turbine driving the high pressure compressor. The low pressure turbine includes rotating blades and a static structure aft of the rotating blades. A fan drivetrain includes a geared architecture connecting the low speed spool to the fan shaft such that the fan and low pressure compressor rotate at a lower speed than the low pressure turbine. A thrust bearing is axially aft of the geared architecture and axially forward of the high pressure compressor. A tower shaft is rotatably driven by the low speed spool.

摘要: A method includes providing a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) seal arc segment that has radially inner and outer sides, attaching an abradable layer on the radially outer side of the CMC seal arc segment, providing a carrier to support the CMC seal arc segment, the carrier including a ridge, and sliding the CMC seal arc segment relative to the carrier such that during the sliding the ridge cuts a groove into the abradable layer, the ridge remaining disposed in the groove to thereby provide a labyrinth seal that partitions the cooling cavity between the carrier and the CMC seal arc segment into sub-cavities.

摘要: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a rotating structure rotatable about an axis, a stationary structure and a bearing. The stationary structure forms a bearing compartment, a buffer cavity, a low pressure cavity and a high pressure cavity with the rotating structure. The buffer cavity surrounds the bearing compartment. The low pressure cavity surrounds the buffer cavity. The high pressure cavity surrounds the low pressure cavity. The bearing is within the bearing compartment. The bearing rotatably couples the rotating structure to the stationary structure.

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 seal. The inner nozzle is disposed between the fixed center plug and the fixed outer nozzle. The inner nozzle includes an inner nozzle body. The inner nozzle body forms a primary duct between the inner nozzle and the fixed outer nozzle. The inner nozzle body forms a secondary duct and a gap. The gap is a nozzle outlet of the secondary duct. The secondary duct is disposed between the inner nozzle body and the fixed center plug upstream of the seal. The inner nozzle body forms a plurality of apertures. The inner nozzle body is translatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the primary duct has a first cross-sectional area and the plurality of apertures are isolated from the gap by the seal. In the second position, the primary duct has a second cross-sectional area and the plurality of apertures are connected in fluid communication with the gap.

摘要: Methods and systems for treating components are described. The methods include using a system having a controller, a laser applicator, a coating applicator, and a sensor array. The laser applicator, the coating applicator, and the sensor array are arranged on a treatment arm that is controlled by the controller. The method includes scanning a surface to be treated of the component using the sensor array, cleaning the surface to be treated using the laser applicator, defining surface texture patterns, applying laser texturing, and applying a new coating to the surface to be treated using the coating applicator.
