🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical sealing methods used in high-temperature sections of gas turbines • Characteristics of contact vs. non-contact air seals • Why turbine midframes need minimal wear and good sealing despite thermal expansion

💭 Think About

• Which seal designs can tolerate very high temperature and expansion without rubbing or rapid wear? • Which option is most commonly associated with gas turbine hot section air seals, especially between rotating and stationary parts? • Think about which seals are usually used for oil sealing vs. air sealing—which category fits the combustor/turbine area?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which seal types are contact seals (rub against a surface) and which are non-contact, clearance-type seals • Consider which design is noted in textbooks and manufacturer manuals as standard for gas turbine hot gas path sealing • Eliminate any options more commonly used for shaft oil seals or low-temperature service rather than combustor/turbine areas
