Abstract: An apparatus and method relating to a cooling hole of a component of a turbine engine. The cooling hole can extend from an inlet to an outlet to define a connecting passage. The cooling hole can contain a diffusing section. The diffusing section can be defined by an interior surface having variable geometries.

Abstract: Ply layups and methods for forming composite components are provided. For example, a method for forming a composite component comprises laying up a plurality of composite plies to form a composite ply layup; partially processing the composite ply layup to form a green state layup; machining the green state layup; assembling the green state layup with one or more sub-assemblies; and processing the green state layup and the one or more sub-assemblies to form the composite component. In an exemplary embodiment, the composite component is a turbine nozzle airfoil. Another exemplary method comprises laying up a plurality of composite plies to form a composite ply layup; compacting the composite ply layup to form a green state layup; machining the green state layup; assembling the green state layup with one or more sub-assemblies; and processing the green state layup and the one or more sub-assemblies to form the composite component.

Abstract: An airfoil profile-shaped seal is disposable between an inside surface of a hollow airfoil body and a seal support. The seal includes an elongated member defining a generally closed curve having a generally straight portion, a generally curved portion, and having a solid cross-section across and along the length of the elongated member. When the seal is disposed in an airfoil profile-shaped groove of a seal support adjacent to the inner surface of the hollow airfoil body, and a fluid pressure on one side of the seal is greater than a fluid pressure on the other side of the seal, portions of the seal engage the inner surface of the hollow airfoil body and a surface of the groove to form a seal to inhibit leakage of fluid from the one side to the other side.

Abstract: A component for a turbine engine comprises a wall having a first wall surface and a second wall surface; and a cooling hole comprising a connecting passage extending between an inlet at the first wall surface and an outlet located at the second wall surface. The connecting passage includes: a metering section extending from the inlet toward the outlet and defining a centerline, and a diffusing section at the outlet defining first and second side walls, a first junction between the first side wall and the metering section and a second junction between the second side wall the metering section, the first side wall extending between the first junction and the outlet, and the second side wall extending between the second junction and the outlet. A metering section distance is measured between the centerline and a metering section wall of the metering section.

Abstract: An apparatus and method regarding an airfoil for a turbine engine, the airfoil comprising an outer wall defining an interior bound by a pressure side and a suction side extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge defining a chord-wise direction and extending radially between a root and a tip defining a span-wise direction. The airfoil further comprising at least one cooling passage extending radially within the interior and defining a primary cooling airflow; and at least one cooling hole having an inlet defining a first cross-sectional area, the inlet in communication with the cooling passage, an outlet defining a second cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area; wherein the primary cooling airflow enters the inlet in a first direction and exits the outlet in a second direction different than the first direction.
