Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a fuel component for a gas turbine engine combustor includes additive manufacturing a sacrificial core and manufacturing a fuel component body at least partially around the sacrificial core. The sacrificial core is at least partially removed to at least partially define an internal geometry of the fuel component. An additively manufactured sacrificial core for a fuel component of a gas turbine engine combustor includes a first structure and a second structure. The first structure at least partially defines a first passage of the fuel component. The second structure at least partially defines a second passage of the fuel component. The second structure at least partially surrounds the first structure.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a gas turbine engine component comprises building and machining a hollow workpiece. The workpiece is built via additive manufacturing to create a coarse structure that turbulates cooling flow. At least a portion of the workpiece is machined via subtractive manufacturing to create a smooth surface that promotes laminar flow.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes an airfoil and a platform. The airfoil has a pressure side and an opposite suction side. The platform is connected to the airfoil and has a first curved edge adjacent the suction side and a second curved edge spaced from the pressure side such that more than half of the platform is located to the pressure side. The platform located to the pressure side has a non-axisymmetrical surface contouring.
Abstract:
A section (100) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes a rotating structure, a stationary structure (89), and a flow guide assembly (78, 178, 278, 378) arranged generally between the rotating structure and the stationary structure (89). A flow path (80) is defined between the flow guide assembly (78, 178, 278, 378) and one of the rotating structure and the stationary structure (89). The flow guide assembly (78, 178, 278, 378) includes a plurality of apertures (82, 182, 282, 382) configured to disrupt acoustic waves of air in the flow path (80). A seal (76) is configured to establish a sealing relationship between the rotating structure and the stationary structure (89), and wherein an inlet (80a) to the flow path (80) is adjacent the seal (76). A gas turbine engine (20) and a method of disrupting acoustic waves in a flow path (80) of a gas turbine engine (20) are also disclosed.
