Patent
Extracted, cooled, compressed/intercooled, cooling/combustion air for a gas turbine engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for cooling hot section components of a gas turbine engine is described, which includes a plurality of compressors, or compression train, and an intercooler disposed between each adjacent pair of compressionors so as to achieve the desired pressure and temperature of cooling air at reduced shaft power requirements.
Patent
Gas turbine in-line intercooler
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas turbine engine including in-line intercooling is described, where the compressor intercoolers are achieved without removing the compressor main flow airstream from the compressor flowpath.
Patent
Variable pitch rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine inlet
TL;DR: A cospander is a turbomachinery device including at least one stage where stator vane and rotor blade rows are continuously variable to an extent that each stage can be operated in compression, expansion, or null modes depending on the blade and vane angles at any specific operating point.
Patent
Chemically recuperated gas turbine
TL;DR: In this article, a power plant comprising a compressor for producing a downstream fluid flow, a combustor downstream of the compressor, a turbine downstream of combustor, a power turbine downstream and adjacent the turbine, and a duct region which receives at least a portion of the fluid output of the power turbine is described.
Patent
Steam driven variable speed booster compressor for gas turbine
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas turbine engine that includes a steam driven variable speed booster compressor is described, and the engine further includes a power turbine downstream of the high pressure turbine and the power turbine is coupled to a generator by a shaft.
