摘要: A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine of an aircraft having a fuel nozzle including a fuel swirler and/or an outer air swirler. The fuel swirler may include a manifold for receiving fuel from a fuel conduit, and a plurality of fuel passages to direct fuel from the manifold to discharge orifices that direct fuel with swirling flow. The fuel swirler may be configured to provide uniform spray while minimizing recirculation zones; reduce residence time as fuel enters the manifold; minimize flow disruptions, boundary layer growth, and/or pressure drop as fuel flows through the fuel passages; reduces coking internally of the nozzle; reduces thermal stresses; and is simple and low-cost to manufacture. The outer air swirler may include first and second outer air swirler portions with respective vanes and air passages that provide swirling air flow. The outer air swirler may be configured to improve atomization and spray uniformity with a wide spray angle; and minimize flow disruptions for enhancing flow performance.

摘要: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a dome defining a slot. The combustor assembly also includes a liner at least partially defining a combustion chamber and extending between an aft end and a forward end. The forward end is received within the slot of the dome. In one aspect, the forward end of the liner defines blind warming openings that allow a warming airflow to actively warm the forward end during transient operation of the engine. In another aspect, the dome defines a plurality of impingement openings that allow a warming airflow to impinge on the forward end to actively warm the liner during transient operation of the engine. In another aspect, a grommet coupling a pin with the liner defines a plurality of warming passages that allow a warming airflow to flow therethrough to warm the forward end of the liner during transient engine operation.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a fuel injector assembly and a gas turbine engine including the fuel injector assembly. The fuel injector assembly includes a centerbody extended along a lengthwise direction. The centerbody defines a first fuel nozzle. An annular shroud defining a second fuel nozzle surrounds the centerbody and is extended along the lengthwise direction. A passage is defined through the annular shroud and extended generally along the lengthwise direction. The passage defines an exit opening disposed at a downstream end adjacent to the combustion chamber and in fluid communication therewith. The annular shroud defines a fuel inlet opening disposed at an upstream end of the passage. The annular shroud further defines an air inlet opening in fluid communication with the passage. The air inlet opening is disposed between the fuel inlet opening and the exit opening.

摘要: Auxetic structures, effusion-cooling auxetic sheets, systems and devices with auxetic structures, and methods of using and methods of making auxetic structures are disclosed. An auxetic structure is disclosed which includes an elastically rigid body with opposing top and bottom surfaces. First and second pluralities of elongated apertures extend through the elastically rigid body from the top surface to the bottom surface. The first plurality of elongated apertures extends transversely with respect to the second plurality of elongated apertures. The first and/or second pluralities of elongated apertures are obliquely angled with the top surface of the elastically rigid body. The elongated apertures are cooperatively configured to provide a desired cooling performance while exhibiting stress reduction through negative Poisson's Ratio (NPR) behavior under macroscopic planar loading conditions. For example, the auxetic structure may exhibit an effusion cooling effectiveness of approximately 30-50 Eta and a Poisson's Ratio of approximately −0.2 to −0.9%.

摘要: A combustor heat shield has lips with fins distributed on the lips. The lip-fins have an extended end portion projecting rearwardly from the back face of the heat shield. Impingement jets may be directed against the rearwardly extended end portions of the lip-fins to enhance cooling. The heat shield may define a fuel nozzle opening surrounded by a rail on the back side of the heat shield. Impingement holes or slots may be defined in the rail for allowing cooling air passing therethrough to impinge upon the lip-fins.

摘要: A combustor inlet mixing system (10) formed from a plurality of circumferentially spaced swirler vanes (38) extending radially outward from a nozzle hub. Each of the swirler vanes (38) may have a length (62) that extends downstream along at least a portion of the combustor inlet mixing system (10), and may further have a thickness (66) that extends along a circumference of the nozzle hub. At least one of the swirler vanes (38) may further have at least one slot (42) cut entirely through the thickness (66) of a portion of the swirler vane (38). The slot (42) may separate the swirler vane (38) from the nozzle hub along a portion of the length (62) of the swirler vane (38).
