Publication number: 20240084109Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic pulverulent composition comprising (a) at least one silica particle treated with alkoxysilane; and (b) at least one thermoplastic polymer. The present disclosure also relates to a 3D-printed object formed from the thermoplastic pulverulent composition and a process of forming the 3D-printed object. The thermoplastic pulverulent composition shows good powder flowability and the printed object obtained from said thermoplastic pulverulent composition surprisingly shows high elongation at break, high impact strength, good toughness and low surface roughness.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Wei Zheng FAN, Zhi Zhong CAI, Yan Sheng LI

Patent number: 10294796Abstract: A blade or vane arrangement for a gas turbine engine has an array of aerofoils mounted to respective platforms about an axis and defining a passage through which a working gas flow passes. The arrangement has a datum and the aerofoil has a radial span. Each aerofoil has pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge region and a leading edge foot extending from the leading edge region, the leading edge foot has a ridge line. The platform defines a channel and a platform leading edge, the channel has a minimum radial height line, and the platform leading edge partly defines an outlet through which a secondary flow passes. The ridge line is aligned generally in the direction of the working gas flow and the minimum radial height line is aligned generally in the direction of the secondary flow.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Yan Sheng Li, Roy Teuber

Patent number: 9938843Abstract: A turbine arrangement and a gas turbine engine comprising a rim seal is configured with two cavities. The main fluid path, the two cavities, and a disc space are furthermore separated from another, but still in fluid communication with another, via three annular seal passages. A rim seal is configured for an upstream rotor blade and a downstream guide vane. The seal arrangement includes a trailing edge of the inner blade platform, a leading edge of the inner vane platform and a first annular cavity and a second annular cavity.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Yan Sheng Li, Roy Teuber

Patent number: 9441502Abstract: Described is a gas turbine diffuser (300) comprising a strut (302) with a leading edge (304) extending between a first wall portion (308a) and a second wall portion (308b), wherein a first edge portion (304a) of the leading edge (304) is inclined towards a diffuser section outlet (326), i.e. in flow direction (328) of an exhaust stream, with regard to a normal direction (319a) perpendicular to the first wall portion (308a) at a first leading end point (320a) at which the leading edge (304) meets the first wall portion (308). Hence the leading edge (304) is partially inclined towards a diffuser section outlet (326).Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Semiu Gbadebo, Yan Sheng Li

Patent number: 8678757Abstract: A compressor vane or compressor blade is provided. The axial flow compressor includes an axial direction, a radial direction, a compressor hub and a compressor casing. The vane or blade includes an airfoil with airfoil sections having a span, a chamber line and a leading edge at which the chamber line includes a leading edge blade angle with the axial direction of the compressor and a trailing edge at which the chamber line includes a trailing edge blade angle with the axial direction of the compressor. The airfoil sections are stacked at the leading edge on a straight line extending along a radial direction of the compressor from the compressor hub towards a compressor casing and in that the leading edge angles of the airfoil sections vary along the span and are larger for airfoil sections close to the hub and close to the wall than for mid-span airfoil sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Yan Sheng Li
