Passage channel for a turbomachine and turbomachine
Abstract
A transition duct for a turbomachine, in particular an aircraft engine, for forming a flow channel between an upstream flow cross section and a downstream flow cross section, including supporting ribs which extend between a radially inner duct wall and a radially outer duct wall and each of which has a profile for deflecting a flow from an inlet area to an outlet area of the transition duct, the supporting ribs each having a profile variation in the area of their trailing edge and/or at least one blow-out opening for blowing out a fluid; also disclosed is a turbomachine having a transition duct of this type.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 12 . (canceled)
13 . A transition duct for a turbomachine for forming a flow channel between an upstream flow cross section and a downstream flow cross section, the transition duct comprising:
a radially inner duct wall; a radially outer duct wall; and supporting ribs extending between the radially inner duct wall and the radially outer duct wall, each supporting rib having a profile for deflecting a flow from an inlet area to an outlet area of the transition duct, each supporting rib having a profile variation in an area of a trailing edge and/or at least one blow-out opening for blowing out a fluid.
14 . The transition duct as recited in claim 13 wherein the trailing edge is alternately offset in relation to a suction side and to a pressure side of the supporting rib.
15 . The transition duct as recited in claim 13 wherein the trailing edge has a wave design in the flow direction.
16 . The transition duct as recited in claim 13 wherein each supporting rib has the at least one blow-out opening exiting the trailing edge between a suction side and a pressure side of the supporting rib.
17 . The transition duct as recited in claim 16 wherein the at least one blow-out opening is a longitudinal slot extending from the inner duct wall to the outer duct wall, a suction-side slot area having a wave-shaped design and a diametrically opposed pressure-side slot area being designed without variation.
18 . The transition duct as recited in claim 17 wherein a suction-side outflow area diametrically opposed to the suction-side slot area has a further wave-shaped design.
19 . The transition duet as recited in claim 16 wherein the at least one blow-out opening is a longitudinal slot, a pressure-side slot area having a wave-shaped design and a diametrically opposed suction-side slot area being designed without variation.
20 . The transition duct as recited in claim 19 wherein a pressure-side outflow area diametrically opposed to the pressure-side slot area has a wave-shaped design.
21 . The transition duct as recited in claim 13 wherein the supporting rib has the blow-out opening exiting on a suction side.
22 . The transition duct as recited in claim 13 further comprising flow splitter blades situated between the supporting ribs and having a smaller relative profile thickness than the supporting ribs ( 14 ).
23 . The transition duct as recited in claim 22 wherein the flow splitter blades having a further trailing edge-side profile variation and/or at least one further blow-out opening.
24 . A turbomachine comprising a transition duct as recited claim 13 .
25 . An aircraft engine comprising the turbomachine as recited in claim 24 .Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
