A multiple tube type separation membrane module characterized in that said module comprises plurality of tubular separation membrane elements 3 having sealed ends and open ends; outside pipes 13 surrounding the tubular separation membrane elements 3 with spaces formed therebetween and having first openings on the sealed ends side of the tubular separation membrane elements 3 as well as second openings 133 in the vicinities of the open ends of the tubular separation membrane elements; means for inlet communicating with the first openings of the outside pipes; first means for outlet communicating with the open ends of the tubular separation membrane elements; and second means for outlet communicating with the second openings of the outside pipes, wherein fluid F1 flowing from the first openings of the outside pipes through the means for inlet flows in the spaces between the tubular separation membrane elements 3 and the outside pipes 13, component F2 separated from the fluid F1 by the tubular separation membrane elements 3 flows out from the first means for outlet through the open ends of the tubular separation membrane elements 3, and the remaining fluid F3 flows out from the second means for outlet.

A method facilitates assembling a gas turbine engine including a combustor assembly and a nozzle assembly. The method comprises providing a transition piece including a first end, a second end, and a body extending therebetween, where the body includes an inner surface, an opposite outer surface, coupling the first end of the transition piece to the combustor assembly, and coupling the second end of the transition piece to the nozzle assembly such that a turbulator extending helically over the outer surface of the transition piece extends from the transition piece first end to the transition piece second end to facilitate inducing turbulence to cooling air supplied to the combustor assembly.
