    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an impingement cooling system for a gas turbine engine having a gas turbine engine component and an insert positioned within the gas turbine engine component. The insert includes an insert body that defines an inner cavity therein, a first impingement aperture, a first heat exchanger inlet aperture, and a first heat exchanger outlet aperture. A first baffle extends outwardly from an outer surface of the insert body. The first baffle, the gas turbine engine component, and the insert body define a first and a second cooling chamber therebetween. The first impingement aperture fluidly couples the inner cavity of the insert body and the first cooling chamber. A first heat exchanger wall couples to an inner surface of the insert body. The first heat exchanger wall and the insert body define a first heat exchanger chamber therebetween.

    Abstract: A turbine component includes a root and an airfoil extending from the root to a tip opposite the root. The airfoil forms a leading edge and a trailing edge portion extending to a trailing edge. A plurality of axial cooling channels in the trailing edge portion of the airfoil are arranged to permit axial flow of a cooling fluid from an interior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion to an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of making a turbine component includes forming an airfoil having a trailing edge portion with axial cooling channels. The axial cooling channels are arranged to permit axial flow of a cooling fluid from an interior to an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of cooling a turbine component is also disclosed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a turbomachine. The rotor blade includes an airfoil defining a passage extending from a root to a tip of the airfoil. The passage includes a first passage portion and a second passage portion. The first passage portion has a greater diameter than the second passage portion. The rotor blade also includes a first tube positioned within the first passage portion. The first tube is spaced apart from the airfoil. The rotor blade further includes a second tube positioned within the first passage portion. The second tube is positioned between the airfoil and the first tube. Furthermore, the rotor blade includes a plurality of inserts positioned within the first passage portion. The plurality of inserts is positioned between and in contact with the first and second tubes.

    Abstract: A trailing edge cooling system for a turbine blade is disclosed. The system may include a cooling circuit including an outward leg, and a return leg positioned adjacent the outward leg. The outward and return leg each may extend toward and away, respectively, from a trailing edge of the turbine blade. The cooling circuit may also include a plurality of turn legs. The plurality of turn legs may include a turn leg positioned directly adjacent the trailing edge of the turbine blade, and a distinct turn leg positioned axially adjacent the turn leg, and opposite the trailing edge of the turbine blade. The distinct turn leg may be oriented non-parallel to at least one of the outward leg and the return leg.

    Abstract: A cooling article and method of forming a cooling article are provided. The cooling article includes a body portion separating an inner region and an outer region, an aperture in the body portion, the aperture fluidly connecting the inner region to the outer region, and a cooling feature extending away from an outer surface of the body portion. The cooling feature disturbs fluid flow in the outer region. The method of forming a cooling article includes forming a body portion defining an inner region and an outer region, forming an aperture in the body portion, the aperture fluidly connecting the inner region to the outer region, and forming a cooling feature extending away from an outer surface of the body portion. The cooling article is arranged and disposed for insertion within a hot gas path component of a turbine engine.
