TRANSITION DUCT FOR USE IN A TURBINE ENGINE AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY

A transition duct (300) for use in a turbine engine (10) is provided. The transition duct (300) includes a radially inner wall (304) and a radially outer wall (208) positioned about the radially inner wall (304) defining a flow passage (306) therebetween. The radially outer wall (208) extends and is...

Zusammenfassung:	A transition duct (300) for use in a turbine engine (10) is provided. The transition duct (300) includes a radially inner wall (304) and a radially outer wall (208) positioned about the radially inner wall (304) defining a flow passage (306) therebetween. The radially outer wall (208) extends and is contoured from an upstream end (310) to a downstream end (320) of the transition duct (300). As such, the slope of the radially outer wall (208) increases from the upstream end (310) to a predetermined axial location (308) and decreases from the predetermined axial location (308) to the downstream end (320). A turbine assembly comprising such a transition duct (300) between its high pressure turbine (18) and its low pressure turbine (20). A corresponding method of assembling a transition duct (300) for use in a turbine assembly.
