Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel nozzle guide which can improve a cooling flow on a bulkhead heat shield without increasing the level of the cooling flow of a combustion machine in a gas turbine engine. SOLUTION: A nozzle guide 50 comprises a circular bushing 52 having a dimension enough to insert a nozzle 46 and one end part of the circular bushing 52 is linked to a nozzle guide retainer 56 while the other end part thereof forms a flange part 54 extending radially. The flange part 54 has a periphery part as peripheral portion away from a body part as body close to a link part of the circular bushing 52. The periphery part is extended in substance parallel with a combustion chamber bulkhead heat shield 58 while a rib is formed extending radially on the perimeter of the periphery part of the flange part 54. Each rib has a head end part and a tail end part and the tail end part is shaped into a circular arc. The vortex of a filmy cooling air passing between the end parts is reduced to supplement the bulkhead heat shield 58.
Abstract:
A combustor for a gas turbine engine comprises a combustion chamber having a pilot injector at one end and at least one main injector spaced radially from the pilot injector. The main injector includes a fluid flow path with a plug that restricts flow at least at an interior portion of the flow path. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. A combustor wall of the turbine engine assembly includes a shell and a heat shield. The combustor wall defines a quench aperture through the shell and the heat shield. The heat shield defines an effusion outlet a distance from the quench aperture equal to between about twenty-five times and about seventy-five times a width of the effusion outlet.
Abstract:
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a combustor wall with a shell and a heat shield. The combustor wall defines a quench aperture therethrough. The combustor wall also defines a cavity between the shell and the heat shield. The shell defines a first aperture through which air is directed into the cavity. The heat shield includes a rail that at least partially defines a second aperture configured to direct at least some of the air within the cavity out of the combustor wall and towards the quench aperture.
Abstract:
A combustor a gas turbine engine includes an axial fuel injection system in communication with a combustion chamber, the axial fuel injection system operable to supply between about 10%-35% of a combustion airflow. A radial fuel injection system communicates with the combustion chamber downstream of the axial fuel injection system, where the radial fuel injection system is operable to supply between about 30%-60% of the combustion airflow. A multiple of dilution holes are in communication with a combustion chamber downstream of said radial fuel injection system, where the multiple of dilution holes are operable to supply between about 5%-20% of the combustion airflow.
Abstract:
A wall assembly for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a support shell with a first inner periphery along an axis and a liner panel with a second inner periphery along the axis. The second inner periphery is smaller than the first inner periphery. Another wall assembly for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes an annular grommet mounted between the support shell and the liner panel. The annular grommet defines a contoured inner wall.
