    Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a combustion chamber defined between an inner shell and an outer shell. The combustor further includes a bulkhead extending between the inner shell and the outer shell. The combustor further includes a liner panel mounted to one of the inner shell and the outer shell aft of the bulkhead. The liner panel includes a first section including a first plurality of effusion holes. A first portion of the first plurality of effusion holes extends in a substantially circumferential direction. A second portion of the first plurality of effusion holes, disposed forward of the first portion, transitions from the substantially circumferential direction toward a substantially forward direction. A third portion of the first plurality of effusion holes, disposed aft of the first portion, transitions from the substantially circumferential direction to a substantially aft direction.

    Abstract: A hydrostatic seal assembly includes a primary seal assembly configured to maintain a selected gap between the primary seal and a rotating component, and a seal carrier. The seal carrier includes a radial outer wall, an axial wall extending from the radial outer wall at a first axial end of the radial outer wall, and a carrier arm extending from the radial outer wall at a second axial end of the radial outer wall opposite the first axial end. The carrier arm is secured to a static structure for sealing between the rotating component and the static structure.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a low speed input shaft drives a first plurality of accessories. A high speed input shaft drives a second plurality of accessories. The first plurality of accessories rotating about a first set of rotational axes perpendicular to a first plane. The second plurality of accessories rotating about a second set rotational axes perpendicular to a second plane. The first and second planes extending in opposed directions away from a drive input axis. Compressed air is tapped and passes through a heat exchanger, then to a boost compressor, and then to at least one rotatable components in a main compressor section and a main turbine section. The boost compressor driven on a boost axis, which is non-parallel to the first set of rotational axes and the second set of rotational axes.

    Abstract: Provided are embodiments for determining solenoid plunger position by performing a method which includes generating, by a first signal circuit, a first signal based at least in part on a pull-in current value of a current applied to a solenoid coil of a solenoid. The method further includes generating, by a second signal circuit, a second signal by applying a time delay to the first signal. The method further includes comparing, by a comparator circuit, the first signal and the second signal to determine whether a plunger of the solenoid has moved within the solenoid from a first position to a second position. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the plunger of the solenoid has moved within the solenoid from the first position to the second position, reducing the current applied to the solenoid coil of the solenoid from the pull-in current value to a hold current value.
