    Abstract: A mold assembly for use in forming a component having a first internal passage defined therein includes a mold that defines a mold cavity therein. The mold assembly also includes a lattice structure selectively positioned at least partially within the mold cavity and formed from a first material. The first material is at least partially absorbable by a component material in a molten state. The mold assembly further includes a first segmented core that includes at least one joint segment coupled to the lattice structure. The at least one joint segment is coupled in serial flow communication to at least one extension segment such that a first hollow structure is defined. A first inner core is disposed within the first hollow structure such that at least a portion of the first inner core defines the first internal passage when the component is formed in the mold assembly.

    Abstract: The present application provide a seal for use between components engine facing a high pressure cooling air flow and a hot gas path in a gas turbine. The seal may include a first shim, a second shim with an air exit hole, one or more middle layers positioned between the first shim and the second shim, and one or more cooling pathways extending through the middle layers for the high pressure cooling air flow to pass therethrough and exit via the air exit hole into the hot gas path.

    Abstract: A turbine component patch delivery system can include a support arm and a deposition tool supported by the support arm. The deposition tool can include a reservoir configured to house a turbine component patch material and a dispenser configured to dispense the turbine component patch material from the reservoir onto a surface of a turbine component.

    Abstract: A nozzle includes an endwall connected to an airfoil at one of a tip and root of the airfoil. The endwall includes a first and second side slash faces at respective circumferential edges thereof. The endwall also includes an inner surface extending between the first and second side slash faces. The inner surface includes a first planar surface portion adjacent to the first side slash face, a second planar surface portion adjacent to the second side slash face, and an arcuate surface portion extending between the first and second planar surface portions. The planar surface portions reduce a chute height by reducing hot gas path curvature locally along the side slash faces, which reduces working fluid ingestion between endwalls of the adjacent nozzles. The planar surface portions can be applied to an inner and/or an outer endwall of a nozzle.

    Abstract: A nozzle for a turbine system includes an airfoil, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall. Each of the inner sidewall and outer sidewall includes a peripheral edge defining a pressure side slash face, a suction side slash face, a leading edge face, and a trailing edge face. At least one of the inner sidewall pressure side slash face, the inner sidewall suction side slash face, the outer sidewall pressure side slash face, or the outer sidewall suction side slash face includes a first swept surface extending at a first angle relative to a nominal slash face angle and a second swept surface extending at a second angle relative to the nominal slash face angle. The first and second swept surfaces meet at an arc having a peak that is circumferentially aligned with a stiffening member extending circumferentially on a respective sidewall.

    Abstract: A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) hollow blade includes a CMC airfoil, which includes at least one airfoil CMC ply, at least one cavity CMC ply, and an insert. The airfoil CMC ply defines the contour of the CMC airfoil including a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, a first side extending from the first edge to the second edge, and a second side opposite the first side. The cavity CMC ply defines a cavity within the CMC airfoil. The insert is located between the first edge and the cavity. The insert is wrapped by a CMC ply such that the CMC ply extends along the insert from the first side of the CMC airfoil across the mean camber line of the CMC airfoil and to the second side of the CMC airfoil. The CMC ply terminates on the second side of the CMC airfoil.

    Abstract: A method of forming a cooling assembly in a turbomachine part is provided. The method includes placing an encapsulated diffuser insert partially into a hole in the turbomachine part. The encapsulated diffuser insert has an unobstructed central passageway with a generally circular cross-section at a first end and an elongated rectangular cross-section at a second end opposing the first end. The second end has a sacrificial cap. A coating step coats the turbomachine part to at least partially encapsulate the encapsulated diffuser insert in a coating. A removing step removes the sacrificial cap to enable air flow through the central passageway. The encapsulated diffuser insert remains in the hole of the turbomachine part and the coating, thereby providing the unobstructed central passageway with a generally circular first end and an elongated rectangular second end adjacent to an outer surface of the turbomachine part.
