Abstract: An inter-turbine duct is positioned between a high pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine of a gas turbine engine. The inter-turbine duct includes an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall spaced apart from the inner annular wall along a radial direction to define an annular flow passage. The inter-turbine duct includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced vanes positioned within the flow passage and at least one temperature probe is positioned upstream of the vanes at a circumferential location that is between thirty and seventy percent of a circumferential distance between the leading edges of adjacent vanes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for electrical connectivity to high temperature film sensor devices (e.g., temperature sensor devices). More particularly, the present disclosure provides for high temperature, thin film sensor devices (e.g., temperature sensor devices) having connection of wires and cabling from the cold side to the thin film sensor on the hot side. The disclosure provides assemblies and methods for that electrical connection to the leads or traces of the thin film sensor device (e.g., thin film temperature sensor device such as a thermocouple or a resistance temperature detector device) at the hot-cold barrier that exists in high temperature components (e.g., high temperature components in aero turbine engine applications). The assemblies and methods of the disclosure can be applied to any thin film device (e.g., sensor devices, such as, for example, strain gauges, heat flux sensors, etc.) that can be applied to the surface of a high temperature component.

Abstract: A system for a gas turbine engine includes an engine control system. The engine control system includes a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain a current engine installation configuration for the gas turbine engine, determine a normalized value of the engine parameter for an uninstalled gas turbine engine based on the current engine installation configuration and one or more of a normalized engine power (SHPN) of the gas turbine engine, an airspeed, or an altitude, determine a fully deteriorated engine (FDE) value of the engine parameter using the normalized value of the engine parameter, determine a current value of the engine parameter for the gas turbine engine, and determine the engine operating margin for the engine parameter based on the FDE value of the engine parameter and the current value of the engine parameter.

Abstract: Systems and generating power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to supply electrical power. In embodiments, an inlet temperature of a flow of gas from a source to an ORC unit may be determined. The source may connect to a main pipeline. The main pipeline may connect to a supply pipeline. The supply pipeline may connect to the ORC unit thereby to allow gas to flow from the source to the ORC unit. Heat from the flow of gas may cause the ORC unit to generate electrical power. The outlet temperature of the flow of the gas from the ORC unit to a return pipe may be determined. A bypass valve, positioned on a bypass pipeline connecting the supply pipeline to the return pipeline, may be adjusted to a position sufficient to maintain temperature of the flow of gas above a threshold based on the inlet and outlet temperature.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, components, and methods for visual creep inspection of rotating components, such as those in a gas turbine. A component is provided with an external surface and an axis of rotation. The external surface has a circumference and a plurality of three dimensional reference marks forming a reference pattern along the circumference. An optical data capture device generates a data signal based on the plurality of three dimensional reference marks. A data analysis system processes the data signal to calculate a deviation in spacing of the reference pattern along the circumference and determines a strain or creep measurement.

Abstract: A measuring system for sensing vane positions that comprises a turbine, a target, and a sensor. The turbine includes a plurality of articulating vanes, with each vane being coupled to a sync ring that is configured to position the plurality of articulating vanes in accordance with a degree of rotation by the sync ring. The target is coupled to a first position of the turbine within a first region that is associated with a first vane of the plurality of articulating vanes. The sensor is coupled via a bracket to a second position of the turbine within the first region. The sensor is configured to detect an orientation of the target that corresponds to a vane position of the first vane.
