Abstract: A system includes a web plate axially disposed between a transition piece and a turbine nozzle. The web plate includes a radial arm extending in a radial direction between an inner surface and an outer surface of the web plate. The radial arm, the inner surface, and the outer surface are disposed about an axial passage configured to facilitate a flow of combustion products from the transition piece to the turbine nozzle. The transition piece is disposed within a compressor discharge cavity configured to receive an oxidant. The radial arm includes an upstream face in fluid communication with the compressor discharge cavity. The radial arm also includes an arm passage that extends an axial length in an axial direction from the upstream face through at least an axial depth of the radial arm. The arm passage is configured to receive a portion of the oxidant through the upstream face.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for providing an electromagnetic flow controller. In one embodiment, an electromagnetic flow controller can have two substrates, a permanent magnet, and two electrical traces. One of the substrates may deflect away from the other substrate upon applying an electrical signal to at least one of the two electrical traces.

Abstract: The present application provides a seating assembly for use with a transition piece and a stage one nozzle of a gas turbine engine. The seating assembly may include a support member positioned between the transition piece and the stage one nozzle and a primary spring element positioned on the support member and in contact with the stage one nozzle. The primary spring element may include a single bend therein.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing combustion dynamics of a combustor system in the time domain are provided. The combustor system includes an inlet pipe coupled in flow communication with a combustion chamber. The method includes determining a characteristic equation of a wave traveling in the inlet pipe, determining an acoustic pressure oscillation in the combustion chamber, and determining a pressure fluctuation in the inlet pipe using the characteristic equation and the determined acoustic pressure oscillation.

Abstract: A swirler assembly. The swirler assembly may include a hub, a vane positioned on the hub, and a fuel supply passageway extending from the hub through the vane. The fuel supply passageway may include a substantially triangular shape.
