A method and apparatus for cooling the heat generated by a gas turbine engine mounted in a compartment is provided. The apparatus comprises a novel eductor that incorporates a mixer nozzle to entrain sufficient air flow through the compartment to provide all the necessary cooling. The engine's oil cooler is mounted to the eductor so that the entrained air flow passes through it and cools the engine's oil. The novel eductor also has means for receiving a flow of high velocity air from the engine and injecting this air downstream of the mixer nozzle to enhance the entraining of the cooling flow.

Exhaust eductor cooling system

A compact turbine engine exhaust gas noise suppressor has a housing having a first chamber, a second chamber having an outlet and communicating with the first chamber through a transfer passage, and a third chamber communicating with the first chamber through a perforated dividing wall and having a resonant sound attenuator positioned therein. A sound absorbing member is positioned in the second chamber to create therein a serpentine flow path extending between the transfer passage and the outlet. The exhaust gas noise is attenuated by flowing the exhaust gas into the first chamber through a duct into which ambient cooling air is educted, and then forcing the exhaust gas outwardly through the serpentine flow path.

Turbine engine noise suppression apparatus and methods

An axially asymmetric exhaust gas muffler has a perforated central exhaust duct that is circumscribed by a duality of reactive sound attenuating chambers in each of which is positioned a resonant sound attenuator.
