Abstract:
A combustor panel of a combustor may include a combustion facing surface, a cooling surface opposite the combustion facing surface, and heat transfer pins extending from the cooling surface. A grouping of the heat transfer pins may include a metallic coating.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a cooling design feature for inclusion in a liner of an aircraft, comprising: a plurality of angled holes, and at least one through hole separating all combinations of any two of the angled holes, wherein the at least one through hole is oriented at an angle that is substantially perpendicular to a surface of the liner, and wherein each of the plurality of angled holes are non-parallel to the at least one through hole.
Abstract:
A wall panel assembly includes a first liner panel and a coating. The first liner panel has an inner first liner panel surface and a first liner panel outer surface each axially extending between a first liner panel first end and a first liner panel second end. The coating is disposed on at least one of the first liner panel inner surface and the first liner panel outer surface. The coating has an overall thickness that varies axially between the first liner panel first end and the first liner panel second end.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to controlling a distribution of fuel to a plurality of nozzles associated with at least one aircraft engine by: determining a state of operation associated with the at least one aircraft engine, causing a valve coupled to a fuel supply and each of the nozzles to open when it is determined that the state of operation indicates a high power state relative to at least one threshold, and causing the valve to close when it is determined that the state of operation indicates a low power state relative to the at least one threshold.

Abstract:
A fuel injection system for a gas turbine engine can be used to ensure successful transition in all conditions, while avoiding the possibility of steady state, or increasing power mode, operations with an insufficiently filled secondary fuel line. This may be accomplished by altering a pressure in a secondary fuel line. The present disclosure allows for the elimination of individual fuel injector valves, which may reduce the total complexity and number of parts of the fuel injection system.
