Abstract: According to one or more aspects, systems and techniques for hydrogen fueling with integrity checks are provided herein. Communicated parameters measured by on-board sensors of a vehicle may be cross-referenced against calculated parameters measured by sensors of a fueling station. For example, communicated parameters relating to a compressed hydrogen storage system (CHSS) tank of a vehicle to be fueled may be received at different time intervals. Calculated parameters may be calculated based on a mass of hydrogen fuel dispensed by a hydrogen fueling station from a reference point to one of the time intervals and densities of the CHSS tank of the vehicle at respective time intervals. An error may be calculated between the communicated parameters and the calculated parameters. A fueling mode, such as a conservative fueling mode or a non-conservative fueling mode, may be determined based on the calculated error.

Abstract: In a gas turbine engine, an annular intermediate-temperature space is formed by a first partition member extending from an inner platform radially inward and a second partition member having a radially inner end portion fixed to the first partition member and a radially outer end portion facing the inner platform, the inner platform being connected to radially inner ends of nozzle guide vanes of a turbine, and the intermediate-temperature space overlapping with the inner platform over substantially its axial entire length. The low-temperature space, supplied with a low-temperature air from a compressor, is formed on a radially inside of the second partition member. Therefore, a temperature of the intermediate-temperature space is maintained at an intermediate temperature between those of a combustion gas and the air, reducing a temperature difference of the inner platform from an outer platform and the vanes to reduce a thermal stress.
