  • Patent number: 9926809
    Abstract: A method for discharging exhaust gas from a gas turbine wherein a number of sectors, position, and angle at the center of at least one sector of a peripheral opening capable of forming an area for reingestion of a primary flow into an engine bay are determined by correlation of interactions between secondary cooling flows and the primary flow, from following behavior parameters: air gyration and speed at an inlet of a pipe, geometry of an exhaust stream, routing of the secondary cooling flow for cooling the engine bay, and a geometry and position of inlets of the secondary flows. The peripheral opening is then closed over the identified at least one angular sector. The method prevents backflow of hot primary air into the peripheral opening formed between a pipe and an ejector of the exhaust stream of a gas turbine.

  • Publication number: 20140147278
    Abstract: A radial turbine nozzle of a turbine engine rotating about a central axis includes a first annular array of fixed blades and a second annular array with a same number of variable-pitch blades. The blades have pressure and suction surfaces. Each variable-pitch blade is connected to cups and is configured to be rotated by a controller about a geometric axis connecting centers of the cups. Each variable-pitch blade is mounted at a distance from the axis of the cups such that this axis of rotation is positioned facing the suction surface of the blade and substantially closer to a trailing edge than to a leading edge of that blade. The nozzle can modify the reduced flow admitted by a radial turbine in accordance with requirements of a thermodynamic cycle and produce a seal in an area of maximum load of the nozzle blades.
