Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a body including a cold side surface adjacent to a mate face. A plurality of ridges extends from the cold side surface. A seal member abuts the plurality of ridges to define a plurality of cooling passages. The seal member is configured to move between a first position and a second position relative to the plurality of ridges. Each of the plurality of cooling passages includes a first inlet defined at the first position and a second, different inlet defined at the second position. A method of sealing between adjacent components of a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
In one example embodiment, a blade includes an attachment region, an airfoil extending from the attachment region, and a blade cooling arrangement. The blade cooling arrangement includes at least a first feed passage disposed through the attachment region, which is connected to a first cooling passage disposed in the airfoil. A passively actuated first coolant valve is disposed in or proximate the first feed passage. A plurality of such blades can be disposed in a turbine section of an engine.
Abstract:
In a featured embodiment, a lost core assembly includes a ceramic component having a tapered shape in a radial direction. A refractory metal component extends radially from the ceramic core component. A method of molding a gas turbine engine component is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil including a radial end, a first passageway having an outlet at the radial end, and a second passageway having an inlet at the radial end.

Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes spaced apart walls that extend in a load direction and provide a cooling passage. The cooling passage provides a tortuous passage having a generally straight portion that extends in the load direction and a bend transverse to the load direction. Elongated turbulators protrude from at least one of the walls and extend substantially in the load direction. The elongated turbulators are substantially within the generally straight portion.
