The gas turbine engine includes a shaft rotatable about an axis of the shaft, a rotor coupled to the shaft and having a radially outer surface, and one or more rows of blades spaced axially along the outer portion. Each row of blades includes a plurality of blades spaced circumferentially around the radially outer surface. A gas turbine engine casing at least partially surrounds the one or more rows of blades. One or more rows of stationary vanes are spaced axially along the casing. Each row of stationary vanes includes a plurality of stationary vanes extending radially between the shaft and the gas turbine engine casing. The stationary vanes are coupled to the gas turbine engine casing using a fuse element.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor health of a closed loop system in a turbine engine are disclosed. An example apparatus includes non-linear solver circuitry to: iteratively determine a volume of a gas in a system of a turbine engine based on a pressure measurement, a temperature measurement and a constant that corresponds to the gas, the non-linear solver circuitry to iteratively determine the volume of the gas using a thermodynamic state model; and determine a mass of the gas based on the volume of the gas and a volume of the system; optimization circuitry to iteratively determine a mass loss of the gas based on the mass of the gas using a system of equations; and component control circuitry to adjust use of the system of the gas based on the mass loss of the gas.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine, and a compressor section and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with the fan and with a low pressure turbine of the turbine section. The low pressure turbine includes a rotating drum to which a first airfoil structure is connected and extends radially inward toward the rotary member. A torque frame connects the rotating drum to the rotary member and transfers torque from the first airfoil structure mounted to the rotating drum to the rotary member. The torque frame includes an inner disk mounted to the rotary member, an outer ring and a second airfoil structure formed separately from the outer ring and connected thereto by a releasable connecting structure. The second airfoil structure extends radially inward from the outer ring toward the inner disk.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine having a heat absorption device and an associated method are disclosed. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor having a compressor discharge nozzle, a combustor coupled to the compressor, a turbine coupled to the combustor and the compressor, a fluid flow passage fluidly coupling the compressor and the turbine and bypassing the combustor, and a heat absorption device disposed fluidly along the fluid flow passage at a first predefined location. The heat absorption device includes a casing having an inlet and an outlet, a flow path within the casing and extending between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the flow path directs an input bleed flow diverted from a fluid stream discharged from the compressor, and a phase change material hermetically sealed within the casing. The phase change material is separated from the flow path. The heat absorption device is configured to exchange heat between the phase change material and the input bleed flow to generate an output bleed flow of a different temperature than the input bleed flow and discharge the output bleed flow to a second predefined location different from the first predefined location.
