  • Patent number: 10125785
    Abstract: A bladed rotor and a hub rotor for a gas turbine are provided. A bladed rotor may comprise a rotor interface comprising a radially inward surface, wherein the rotor interface comprises a constant diameter zone; and a reduced stress zone located adjacent to and aft of the constant diameter zone. A hub rotor may comprise a hub interface comprising a radially outward surface, wherein the hub interface comprises, a constant diameter zone, and a reduced stress zone located adjacent to and aft of the constant diameter zone.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10006466
    Abstract: A seal ring for use between an integrally bladed rotor and a hub rotor of a compressor section of a gas turbine engine includes an arm configured to be positioned between the integrally bladed rotor and the hub rotor, such that the seal ring is removably coupled to the integrally bladed rotor and the hub rotor in response to a compressive force applied to the arm by the integrally bladed rotor and the hub rotor. The seal ring also includes a first blade coupled to the arm and configured to form a seal between a first volume and a second volume.

  • Patent number: 4840556
    Abstract: A mixing plate apparatus for use in a conventional reaction injection molding mixing head. The injection molding mixing head has a metering valve system to produce a chemically reactive of at least two fluid reactant streams which are metered into a mixing chamber within the mixing head through an orifice over which is disposed a mixing plate composed of a multi-portal grate. The plate is composed of a plurality of apertures symmetrically disposed thereon. The plate introduces turbulence into the fluid stream as each stream is introduced into the mixing chamber to ensure more efficient mixing with the other fluid stream(s). The reacting mixture is then ejected form the mixing chamber into a desired mold cavity.
