AIRFOIL WITH BAFFLE HAVING FLANGE RING AFFIXED TO PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011400 titled 'AIRFOIL WITH BAFFLE HAVING FLANGE RING AFFIXED TO PLATFORM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an airfoil design that includes an airfoil section with a wall, leading and trailing ends, and first and second sides. The wall encloses an internal core cavity. A platform is attached to the first end of the airfoil wall, which has an opening into the internal core cavity and a land region around the opening. A baffle, consisting of a tube and an attachment portion, is formed. The tube extends into the internal core cavity, and the attachment portion has a flange ring that is affixed to the platform at the land region.

  • The airfoil design includes an airfoil section with a wall, leading and trailing ends, and first and second sides.
  • The airfoil wall encloses an internal core cavity.
  • A platform is attached to the first end of the airfoil wall.
  • The platform has an opening that provides access to the internal core cavity.
  • The platform also has a land region that surrounds the opening.
  • A baffle is formed using a tube and an attachment portion.
  • The tube extends into the internal core cavity.
  • The attachment portion of the baffle has a flange ring that is attached to the platform at the land region.

Potential Applications:

  • This airfoil design can be used in aircraft wings, propellers, and turbines.
  • It can also be applied in wind turbines and hydroelectric turbines.
  • The design may find applications in fans, compressors, and other fluid flow systems.

Problems Solved:

  • The design helps to improve the aerodynamic performance of airfoils.
  • It reduces drag and improves lift characteristics.
  • The baffle design helps to control the flow of air or fluid within the internal core cavity.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency and performance of airfoils in various applications.
  • Enhanced control over airflow and fluid dynamics.
  • Potential for increased energy generation in turbines and propellers.
  • Reduction in energy consumption and improved overall system efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

an airfoil includes an airfoil section that has an airfoil wall that defines leading and trailing ends and first and second sides that join the leading and trailing ends. the first and second sides span in a longitudinal direction between first and second ends. the airfoil wall circumscribes an internal core cavity. a platform is attached with the first end of the airfoil wall. the platform includes an opening that opens into the internal core cavity and a land region that circumscribes the opening. a baffle is formed of a tube and an attachment portion. the tube extends in the internal core cavity and the attachment portion has a flange ring that is affixed to the platform at the land region.
