Abstract:
A film cooled component may comprise a cooling chamber and a first ligament centered about a first axis. The first ligament may be in fluid communication with the cooling chamber. A first meter may be disposed at an end of the first ligament. A first diffuser may extend from the first meter to a surface of the film cooled component. The first diffuser may comprise a first tapered sidewall oriented at an angle of between 5 degrees to 15 degrees relative to the first axis. The first diffuser may further comprise a first non-tapered sidewall oriented at an angle less than 5 degrees relative to the first axis.
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. The assembly further includes a cover having at least one turning cavity configured to direct fluid expelled from the outlet of the first passageway into the inlet of the second passageway.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes spaced apart walls that provide a cooling passage that extends in a first direction. A pedestal is arranged in the cooling passage and interconnects the walls in a thickness direction that is transverse to the first direction. The pedestal is asymmetrical in the thickness direction.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes a wall which includes a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. A plurality of cooling passages extends between the first surface and the second surface each including a metering portion and a diffusion portion. The diffusion portion includes a cast or as-consolidated surface.
