Abstract:
A nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes at least one pair of fixed vanes to define a nozzle between the pair of fixed vanes. The vanes can have an interior chamber defining a cooling circuit with a particle separator located within the interior chamber. The particle separator, which can comprise a virtual impactor, can have an accelerator for accelerating fluid moving through the virtual impactor such that the flow path is divided into a major flow moving into the interior chamber and a minor flow moving into a particle collector defined within the virtual impactor. The accelerator accelerates the fluid such that particles within the fluid are carried by their momentum into the particle collector with the minor flow, removing the particles from the major flow of fluid moving into the interior chamber.
