A transition duct for routing a gas flow from a combustor to the first stage of a turbine section in a combustion turbine engine is disclosed. The transition duct may have an internal passage extending between an inlet to an outlet. An axis of the transition duct body may be generally linear such that gases expelled from the transition duct body flow in a proper direction into the downstream turbine blades.

1. A transition duct for routing gas flow in a combustion turbine subsystem that includes a first stage blade array having a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from a rotor assembly for rotation in a circumferential direction, said circumferential direction having a tangential direction component, an axis of the rotor assembly defining a longitudinal direction, and at least one combustor located longitudinally upstream of the first stage blade array and located radially outboard of the first stage blade array, said transition duct, comprising: a transition duct body having an internal passage extending between an inlet and an outlet;wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the longitudinal direction and the tangential direction;wherein the outlet is formed from a radially outer side generally opposite to a radially inner side, and the radially outer and inner sides are coupled together with opposed first and second side walls; andwherein a first side of the transition duct body is configured to be coplanar with a second side of an adjacent transition duct when assembled beside the adjacent transition duct. 2. The transition duct of claim 1, further comprising a throat positioned in the transition duct body and having a cross-sectional area that is less than other aspects of the transition duct body and wherein an axis of the transition duct body downstream of the throat is generally linear, thereby eliminating unguided turning. 3. The transition duct of claim 2, wherein the inlet is generally cylindrical and an adjacent midsection of the duct between the inlet and the throat is generally conically shaped. 4. The transition duct of claim 1, wherein the second side wall is canted relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 5. The transition duct of claim 1, wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet. 6. The transition duct of claim 1, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 7. The transition duct of claim 6, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 8. The transition duct of claim 6, wherein the second side wall is canted relative to a radial axis. 9. The transition duct of claim 8, wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet. 10. The transition duct of claim 8, wherein the second side wall is canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 11. The transition duct of claim 10, wherein the second side wall is canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 12. A transition duct for routing gas flow in a combustion turbine subsystem that includes a first stage blade array having a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from a rotor assembly for rotation in a circumferential direction, said circumferential direction having a tangential direction component, an axis of the rotor assembly defining a longitudinal direction, and at least one combustor located longitudinally upstream of the first stage blade array and located radially outboard of the first stage blade array, said transition duct, comprising: a transition duct body having an internal passage extending between an inlet and an outlet;wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the longitudinal direction and the tangential direction;a throat positioned in the transition duct body and having a cross-sectional area that is less than other aspects of the transition duct body;a midsection of the transition duct body positioned upstream from the throat, wherein the midsection has a larger cross-sectional area than the throat and has an linear axis that is aligned with an axis of the transition duct body in the throat;wherein the axis of the transition duct body downstream of the throat is generally linear; andwherein the outlet is formed from a radially outer side generally opposite to a radially inner side, and the radially outer and inner sides are coupled together with opposed first and second side walls; and wherein a first side of the transition duct body is configured to be coplanar with a second side of an adjacent transition duct when assembled beside the adjacent transition duct. 13. The transition duct of claim 12, wherein the inlet is generally cylindrical and the adjacent midsection of the duct is generally conically shaped. 14. The transition duct of claim 12, wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet. 15. The transition duct of claim 12, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream, and wherein the second side wall is canted relative to a radial axis between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 16. A plurality of transition ducts for routing gas flow in a combustion turbine subsystem that includes a first stage blade array having a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from a rotor assembly for rotation in a circumferential direction, said circumferential direction having a tangential direction component, an axis of the rotor assembly defining a longitudinal direction, and at least one combustor located longitudinally upstream of the first stage blade array and located radially outboard of the first stage blade array, wherein each transition duct comprising: a transition duct body having an internal passage extending between an inlet and an outlet;wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the longitudinal direction and in the tangential direction;a throat positioned in the transition duct body and having a cross-sectional area that is less than other aspects of the transition duct body; andwherein an axis of the transition duct body downstream of the throat is generally linear;wherein the outlet is formed from a radially outer side generally opposite to a radially inner side, and the radially outer and inner sides are coupled together with opposed first and second side walls; andwherein the first side of a first transition duct is coplanar with a second side of an adjacent transition duct. 17. The plurality of transition ducts of claim 16, wherein the inlet is generally cylindrical and an adjacent midsection of the duct is generally conically shaped. 18. The plurality of transition ducts of claim 17, further comprising a throat adjacent to the conically shaped midsection and having a cross-section with a generally consistent cross-sectional area. 19. The plurality of transition ducts of claim 16, wherein the first side wall is canted relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream, and the second side wall is canted relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream, and wherein the first and second side walls are canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream.
