24 May 1976TL;DR: In this paper, a control system is provided which fills part of the fuel manifold with compressed air during start-up so as to prevent fuel flowing to all the burners and thereby to improve the performance of the remaining burners.
Abstract: In order to improve the start-up of a gas turbine engine, a control system is provided which fills part of the fuel manifold with compressed air during start-up so as to prevent fuel flowing to all the burners and thereby to improve the performance of the remaining burners.

19 Dec 1977TL;DR: In this paper, a gas turbine engine comprises an annular flame tube having a circumferential array of upstream projecting pots or vortex generators at its upstream end and a plurality of tubular ducts, one extending from the annular diffusing passageway to the upstream end of each pot.
Abstract: Combustion equipment for a gas turbine engine comprises an annular flame tube having a circumferential array of upstream projecting pots or vortex generators at its upstream end, an annular diffusing passageway located upstream of the pots and terminating adjacent the upstream ends of the pots, and a plurality of tubular ducts, one extending from the annular diffusing passageway to the upstream end of each pot.

02 Oct 1985TL;DR: In this paper, a gas turbine engine rotor stage is divided into a number of arcuate segments each of which is a trapezium, and the segments are urged together by compression springs which attempts to make the assembly lengthen peripherally, by virtue of the chamfered ends 30 of the segments riding up each other.
Abstract: A shroud for a gas turbine engine rotor stage is divided into a number of arcuate segments each of which is a trapezium. The segments are urged together by compression springs which attempts to make the assembly lengthen peripherally, by virtue of the chamfered ends 30 of the segments riding up each other. The completely circular shape of the shroud prevents that movement but as a result, a hoop load is generated which tends to move the segments radially outwards, thus achieving the same effect, along with a consequent increase in diameter. A cam ring and pins are used to control and reverse the movement, as desired. The shroud diameter can thus be altered to suit rotor expansion and contraction.

29 Jan 1980TL;DR: In this paper, a gas turbine engine is described in which a particularly efficient use of cooling air is made, at least part of the cooling of the turbine blades is effected by a bleed of air from one of the compressors.
Abstract: A gas turbine engine is disclosed in which a particularly efficient use of cooling air is made. In this engine, at least part of the cooling of the turbine blades is effected by a bleed of air from one of the compressors. This bleed air is ducted to flow between the shanks of adjacent rotor blades to cool them, and the used bleed air then rejoins the main gas flow of the engine upstream of the turbine rotor.
