  • Patent number: 11920486
    Abstract: A high-temperature component according to an embodiment is a high-temperature component which requires to be cooled by a cooling medium, and includes: a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium is able to flow; and a first partition wall disposed inside each of the cooling passages to partition the cooling passage into a plurality of first branch flow passages. The first partition wall includes an oblique portion formed such that, in an upstream side region of the first partition wall, a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the cooling passage as seen in an extension direction of the cooling passage gradually decreases from an upstream side toward a downstream side.

  • Patent number: 11746663
    Abstract: A high-temperature component according to an embodiment is a high-temperature component which requires cooling by a cooling medium, and includes: a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium is able to flow; a header portion to which downstream ends of the plurality of first cooling passages are connected; and at least one outlet passage for discharging the cooling medium flowing into the header portion to outside of the header portion. A roughness of an inner wall surface of the at least one outlet passage is not greater than a roughness of an inner wall surface of the plurality of first cooling passages in a region where a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the outlet passage is the smallest.

  • Patent number: 11702944
    Abstract: A high-temperature component including a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium can flow, a header connected to respective downstream ends of the plurality of cooling passages, and one or more outlet passages for discharging the cooling medium flowing into the header to outside of the header. The one or more outlet passages are less in number than the plurality of cooling passages. Respective minimum flow passage cross-sectional areas of the one or more outlet passages are not less than respective flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cooling passages in a connection between the header and the cooling passages. A sum of the respective minimum flow passage cross-sectional areas of the one or more outlet passages is less than a sum of the respective flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cooling passages in the connection between the header and the cooling passages.

  • Publication number: 20220228530
    Abstract: A tail pipe (50) comprises: a pipe (51); an acoustic attenuator (61) that forms an acoustic space (Ss) on the outer peripheral side of the pipe (51); and a cooling air jacket (65) that forms a cooling air space (Sa) isolated from the outer space (So), which is the space on the outer peripheral side of the pipe (51). The pipe (51) has: a first air flow path (56) that is formed between the outer peripheral surface (55o) and the inner peripheral surface (55i); and an acoustic hole (59) that penetrates from the acoustic space (Ss) to a combustion space (Sc), which is a space on the inner peripheral side of the pipe (51c). The first air flow path (56) has: an inlet (56i) that faces into the cooling air space (Sa) and guides the air in the cooling air space (Sa) into the first air flow path (56); and an outlet (56o) that faces into the acoustic space (Ss) and guides the air passing through the first air flow path (56) into the acoustic space (Ss).

  • Patent number: 11326780
    Abstract: A resonant sound absorbing device of a gas turbine combustor includes a plurality of resonance chambers independently disposed side by side in an axial direction of the gas turbine combustor so as to communicate with a gas passage of the gas turbine combustor via acoustic holes. The plurality of resonance chambers include n related resonance chambers each satisfying: 0.9 × ? i = 1 n ? F i n ? F i ? 1.1 × ? i = 1 n ? F i n ( A ) where n is an integer of 2 or more, and Fi is a peak frequency corresponding to a maximum sound absorbing ratio of the ith related resonance chamber of the n related resonance chambers.
