Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods for additive manufacturing (AM) for fabricating multi-walled structures. A multi-walled structure includes a first wall having a first surface and a second wall having a second surface facing the first surface to define a passage having a width between the first surface and the second surface in a first direction. The multi-walled structure also includes an enlarged powder removal feature connecting the first wall and the second wall. The enlarged powder removal feature has an inner dimension greater than the width in the first direction and at least one open end in a direction transverse to the first width.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to separating solid particles from an airflow in a gas turbine engine. A system for separating debris includes a first separation device in fluid communication with an inlet flow path of a compressor and a second separation device in fluid communication with an outlet flow path of the compressor and an inlet flow path of a combustor. The first separation device is adapted to remove coarse particles from the airflow. The second separation device is adapted to remove fine particles from the airflow. The course particles have a larger mean particle diameter than the fine particles.

Abstract: An additively manufactured impingement structure for a component is provided. The control structure includes an impingement wall positioned between an outer wall and an inner wall, a plurality of impingement holes defined in the impingement wall, the impingement holes providing fluid communication from a fluid distribution passageway, the impingement holes defined in the impingement wall at an apex of one or more support struts, the one or more support struts defining a plurality of domed structures, each of the plurality of domed structures including a hemisphere-like shape, and a discharge housing defining a discharge plenum and a plurality of discharge ports, the discharge plenum being in fluid communication with an impingement gap, the impingement gap defined between the impingement wall and the outer wall.

Abstract: An additively manufactured impingement structure for a component is provided. The control structure includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and an impingement wall positioned between the outer wall and the inner wall. A fluid distribution passageway is defined between the inner wall and the impingement wall and an impingement gap is defined between the impingement wall and the outer wall. A plurality of impingement holes are defined in the impingement wall to provide fluid communication between the fluid distribution passageway and the impingement gap. A flow of cooling or heating fluid may be supplied to the fluid distribution passageway which distributes the flow and impinges it through the impingement holes onto the outer wall to cool or heat the outer wall, respectively.

Abstract: A method and a system for a heat exchanger assembly are provided. The heat exchanger assembly includes one or more arcuate heat exchanger segments each including an inlet header configured to extend circumferentially about a circumference of an inner surface of a fluid flow duct, and an outlet header configured to extend circumferentially about the fluid flow duct. The heat exchanger assembly also includes a first serpentine heat exchanger tube extending between the inlet header and the outlet header and including a series of flow path segments having a gradually changing direction defined by a bend radius of the tube such that a direction of flow through the serpentine heat exchanger tube reverses between the inlet and the outlet headers and a second serpentine heat exchanger tube extending between the inlet header and the outlet header, the second serpentine heat exchanger tube co-planar with the first serpentine heat exchanger tube.

Abstract: A risk management application permits users to create and store their project's risks and abatements. The risk management application is available over an organization-wide network such as an Intranet or Extranet and is accessed from a common starting point using a web browser. All the information entered by a user into the risk management application is stored in a common database that can be accessed by all users. The risk management application can also be used to generate standardized reports, plots and scorecards on risk management for an individual project or a series of projects. Finally, the risk management application has features that assist a user in entering information such as automatic entry of previously entered information and auditing capabilities to check if all required information has been entered by the user.
