Transition with a linear flow path with exhaust mouths for use in a gas turbine engine

摘要

A transition duct for routing a gas flow from a combustor to the first stage of a turbine section in a combustion turbine engine is disclosed. The transition duct may have an internal passage extending between an inlet to an outlet. An axis of the transition duct body may be generally linear such that gases expelled from the transition duct body flow in a proper direction into the downstream turbine blades. The linear transition duct may include an outlet with exhaust mouths that are configured such that sides of the transition duct are coplanar with adjacent transition ducts, thereby eliminating destructive turbulence between adjacent, linear transition ducts.
