A fluid duct includes a body and an elongate rib. The body extends along a central axis and defines a lumen configured to receive a first fluid extending therethrough. The body has an inner surface and an outer surface. The central axis defines an axial direction along the central axis, a radial direction perpendicular to the central axis, and a circumferential direction oriented rotationally about the central axis. The elongate rib is positioned on the inner surface of the body and extends radially inward from the inner surface of the body. The elongate rib defines a channel extending through the elongate rib in a primary direction. The channel is configured to receive a second fluid and isolate the second fluid from the first fluid.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An inner shroud damper for a gas turbine engine includes: at least one carrier including a joint to couple to an inner shroud, the at least one carrier having a first side and a second side, and at least one mass damper coupled to the at least one carrier.

Inner shroud damper for vibration reduction

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. A split shroud for an inner shroud of a gas turbine engine includes: at least one forward shroud segment and at least one aft shroud segment to couple to the at least one forward shroud segment, the at least one forward shroud segment and the at least one aft shroud segment forming a split line.

Split shroud for vibration reduction

Variable stator vanes with anti-lock trunnions are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes an airfoil to be disposed within a flow path of a gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine defining an axial axis, a radial axis and a circumferential axis, an outer trunnion, and an inner trunnion including a curved surface in an axial-radial plane, the inner trunnion enabling the airfoil to be rotatably mounted to an inner shroud of the gas turbine engine.
