A method and system for designing an impingement film floatwall panel system
for
a combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine comprising the steps of creating
an impingement film floatwall panel knowledge base of information. The knowledge
base has a plurality of design rule signals with respect to a corresponding plurality
of parameter signals of associated elements of impingement film floatwall panels
for a combustion chamber, wherein the knowledge base comprises at least one data
value signal for each one of the plurality of design rule signals. The steps also
include entering a desired data value signal for a selected one of the plurality
of parameter signals of an associated element of the impingement film floatwall
panels and comparing the entered desired data value signal for the selected one
of the plurality of parameters with the corresponding at least one data value signal
in the knowledge base for the corresponding one of the plurality of design rule
signals. If the result of the step of comparing is such that the entered desired
data value signal for the selected one of the plurality of parameter signals is
determined to have a first predetermined relationship with respect to the corresponding
at least one data value signal in the knowledge base for the selected one of the
plurality of design rule signals, create signals representative of a geometric
representation of the selected one of the plurality of parameter signals of the
associated element of the impingement film floatwall panels.
