Turbine system comprising a transition duct

A turbine system is disclosed. The turbine system (10) includes a transition duct (50) having an inlet (52), an outlet (54), and a passage (56) extending between the inlet (52) and the outlet (54) and defining a longitudinal axis (90), a radial axis (94), and a tangential axis (92). The outlet (54)...

Summary:A turbine system is disclosed. The turbine system (10) includes a transition duct (50) having an inlet (52), an outlet (54), and a passage (56) extending between the inlet (52) and the outlet (54) and defining a longitudinal axis (90), a radial axis (94), and a tangential axis (92). The outlet (54) of the transition duct (50) is offset from the inlet (52) along the longitudinal axis (90) and the tangential axis (92). The turbine system further includes a turbine section (16) connected to the transition duct (50). The turbine section includes a plurality of shroud blocks at least partially defining a hot gas path, a plurality of buckets at least partially disposed in the hot gas path, and a plurality of nozzles at least partially disposed in the hot gas path. At least one of a shroud block, a bucket, or a nozzle includes means for withstanding high temperatures.
