TURBINE ENGINE WITH A ROTATING BLADE HAVING A FIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011407 titled 'TURBINE ENGINE WITH A ROTATING BLADE HAVING A FIN
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a blade assembly for a gas turbine engine that is designed to rotate around a rotational axis. The blade assembly consists of a blade and at least one fin. The blade extends between a root and a tip, with the tip being spaced radially from the engine casing to create a space in between. The at least one fin extends radially with respect to the tip and into the space.
- The blade assembly is configured to rotate around a rotational axis.
- It includes a blade and at least one fin.
- The blade extends between a root and a tip.
- The tip is spaced radially from the engine casing, creating a space.
- The at least one fin extends radially with respect to the tip and into the space.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Gas turbine engines in various industries such as aviation, power generation, and marine propulsion.
- Enhancing the performance and efficiency of gas turbine engines.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved aerodynamic performance by utilizing the space between the blade tip and engine casing.
- Reducing turbulence and losses caused by the interaction between the blade tip and engine casing.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased power output and efficiency of gas turbine engines.
- Reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
- Improved overall performance and reliability of the engine.
