    Abstract: An airfoil includes a multi-part body and one or more thermally conductive pins. The multi-part body has an interior region and is formed from multiple pieces joined with each other at an interface. The pieces have multiple cavities and at least one of the pieces defines airfoil cooling channels disposed within the interior region of the body. The one or more thermally conductive pins are within the interior region of the body and extend across the interface. Each of the thermally conductive pins has a first segment disposed within a corresponding cavity of a first piece of the multiple pieces and a second segment disposed within a corresponding cavity of a second piece of the multiple pieces.

    Abstract: A cooling assembly comprises a pin disposed inside a first chamber of an airfoil. The first chamber is disposed inside the tip end comprising a tip floor. The pin extends from a first end to a second end along a pin axis. The first end is coupled with a first surface of the first chamber and the second end is coupled with an inner floor surface of the tip floor such that the pin increases a structural load support level of the tip floor. A cooling conduit is placed inside the pin through which coolant flows. The cooling conduit is elongated along and extends around a conduit axis and is fluidly coupled with conduit channels disposed between the first and second ends of the pin. The conduit channels direct coolant out of the cooling conduit or direct coolant into the cooling conduit.

    Abstract: A method of producing a ceramic matrix composite component. The method includes positioning a first plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies on top of one another, disposing a filler pack on the first plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies, and positioning a second plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies on top of the filler pack. One of the first plurality of ceramic composite plies or the second plurality of ceramic composite plies includes a bend angle, to define an interstice between the plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies with the filler pack disposed in the interstice. The filler pack includes one or more sacrificial fibers disposed therein, that subsequent to removal provide a functional feature, such as a cooling manifold in the filler pack. The method further includes forming one or more channels coupled to the one or more functional features for the flow of a cooling fluid therethrough. A ceramic matrix composite is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An assembly comprises a cooling chamber disposed inside an airfoil of a turbine assembly. The cooling chamber directs cooling air inside the airfoil. The assembly comprises an impingement hole fluidly coupled with the cooling chamber. The impingement hole directs at least some of the cooling air out of the cooling chamber. A double impingement slot cap assembly forms a cover over the impingement hole. The double impingement slot cap assembly directs the cooling air exiting the cooling chamber in the airfoil through the impingement hole along one or more outer surfaces of the airfoil.
