Abstract:
A turbine engine includes a turbine section with a low pressure turbine and a turbine case disposed about an axis. A frame assembly defines an outer cavity and an inner cavity with the outer cavity including at least one opening configured and adapted to communicate cooling air to the turbine case. A transfer tube is disposed within the outer cavity and is configured and adapted to receive cooling air. The transfer tube includes a bend configured to impart circumferential velocity to the cooling air within the outer cavity.
Abstract:
An example turbomachine structure includes a case having a radially extending port, and at least one rib configured to direct flow through and past the port.

Abstract:
An axially extending outer case for a gas turbine engine comprises an arcuate case wall, an opening, a boss and contouring. The arcuate case wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The opening extends through the arcuate case wall. The boss extends radially from the outer surface of arcuate case wall and surrounds the opening. The contouring surrounds the opening along the inner surface of the arcuate case wall within the boss.
Abstract:
A bleed air supply system for a gas turbine engine comprising a duct having an inlet end and extending to an outlet end. The inlet end of the duct is provided with a central insert. In another feature, there may be a plurality of ducts, and inlet ends of the plurality of ducts being spaced by at least 90°. In another feature, a compressor may have a diffuser with a shroud ending upstream of the downstream end of an inner shroud, having an outer shroud ending at a location upstream of a downstream end of an inner shroud at locations circumferentially aligned with an inlet end of the duct.
