Title: Thomas Christopher Farrell: Composite Combustion Liner Innovation
Introduction
Thomas Christopher Farrell is an inventor associated with Asheville, North Carolina, and General Electric Company. His patent work addresses the design of composite structures for gas turbine engines.
Latest Patents
Farrell is credited with 1 patent: “Combustion Liner for Gas Turbine Engine.” The invention describes a combustion-section liner with a base portion and a stiffening portion, both made from multiple plies of composite material. The plies use different fiber orientations, including fibers aligned with the liner’s circumferential direction and fibers angled away from it. This layered arrangement is designed to provide structural reinforcement in the demanding environment of a gas turbine engine.
Career Highlights
Farrell’s listed patent reflects work on composite engineering for turbine components. By combining a layered base with a separately configured stiffening portion, the design addresses how fiber orientation can contribute to a liner’s structure.
Collaborations
Farrell’s listed coworkers include Brian Gregg Feie and Andrew Merz. The patent is associated with General Electric Company.
Conclusion
Thomas Christopher Farrell’s patent highlights an approach to reinforcing gas turbine combustion liners through carefully arranged composite plies and fiber orientations.
