    Abstract: A leakage management assembly for an orifice configured to limit a flow of at least one of a leakage fluid and a cooling fluid past an instrument positioned within the orifice are provided. The leakage management assembly includes a labyrinth ferrule including an annular ferrule body having a central bore extending therethrough. The labyrinth ferrule further includes an annular assembly cone formed at a first end of the labyrinth ferrule. The annular assembly cone includes an annular convergent lip and is configured to facilitate directing the instrument into the central bore. The labyrinth ferrule also includes a plurality of labyrinthine annular restrictions extending from a radially inner surface of the annular body toward the central bore. A combustor and a gas turbine engine including such a seal assembly are also provided.

    Abstract: A combustor of a turbine engine has a combustion chamber for combusting fuel and air, generating heat. A fuel nozzle-mixer assembly mixes and injects fuel and air into the combustion chamber for combustion. The assembly has a heat shield at an aft end for shielding the assembly from the heat. A centerbody outer shell defines a cooling air flow cavity. A cooling air flow gap is defined between the centerbody outer shell and the heat shield. The centerbody outer shell has cooling air exit holes between the cooling air flow cavity and the cooling air flow gap, the air passing through the cooling air exit holes and into the cooling air flow gap. The cooling air exits the cooling air flow gap at a cooling air exit angle, the cooling air exit angle having a non-zero axially aft component, displacing the combustion downstream, to protect the assembly.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a turbine engine for can include an engine component. The engine component can include an interior cooling passage at least partially defining a cooling circuit for passing a flow of cooling fluid through the component. Film holes provide for exhausting a portion of the cooling fluid to an exterior of the component, to form a cooling film along an exterior hot surface of the engine component. A deflector can be position within the cooling passage upstream form the film hole.

    Abstract: A nacelle for a gas turbine engine includes an interior portion along a radial direction of the gas turbine engine and a heat exchanger. The interior portion defines a heat exchanger duct including an inlet and an outlet. The heat exchanger is disposed in the heat exchanger duct between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet is disposed aft of the outlet along a central axis of the nacelle.
