  • Gas turbine transition duct
    Patent number: 10787918
    Abstract: A gas turbine transition duct includes: an inner tubular body, defining a transition channel and having a first upstream end and a first downstream end for coupling to a can combustor and to a turbine section of a gas turbine assembly, respectively; an outer tubular body, arranged around the inner tubular body and having a second upstream end at the first upstream end of the inner tubular body and a second downstream end at the first downstream end of the inner tubular body; wherein a convective cooling channel is defined between the inner tubular body and the outer tubular body, the convective cooling channel having an inlet between the first downstream end and the second downstream end; and wherein the outer tubular body is continuous between the second upstream end and the second downstream end.
