Abstract: A turbine blade includes an airfoil defined by a pressure side outer wall and a suction side outer wall connecting along leading and trailing edges and form a radially extending chamber for receiving a coolant flow. A rib configuration may include: a leading edge transverse rib connecting to the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall and partitioning a leading edge passage from the radially extending chamber. The rib configuration may also include a first center transverse rib connecting to the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall and partitioning an intermediate passage from the radially extending chamber directly aft of the leading edge passage. The intermediate passage is defined by the pressure side outer wall, the suction side outer wall, the leading edge transverse rib and the first center transverse rib, and thus spans airfoil between its outer walls.

Abstract: A turbine blade airfoil including cooling circuits is disclosed. The airfoil may include a first pressure side cavity positioned adjacent a pressure side of the airfoil, where the first pressure side cavity is configured to receive a coolant. The airfoil may also include at least one distinct pressure side cavity positioned adjacent to and fluidly coupled to the first pressure side cavity, a trailing edge positioned between the pressure and a suction side, and a trailing edge cooling system positioned adjacent the trailing edge and in direct fluid communication with the first pressure side cavity. The trailing edge cooling system may be configured to receive a portion of the coolant from the first pressure side cavity.

Abstract: An internal rib for a blade airfoil has a concave surface defined to ensure durability and provide desired heat transfer. A concave surface faces a pressure side or suction side outer wall. A width is between a first end and a second end, and a depth is a length of a normal depth line between a midpoint of the concave surface and an intersection point of the depth line with the pressure or suction side outer wall. An irregular arc is defined within an arc angle centered at the intersection point, the irregular arc has a first arc radius equivalent to the depth at the midpoint of the concave surface and a second arc radius where the arc angle intersects the concave surface equivalent to a product of the depth and a shape factor. The shape factor has a substantially linear relationship with the aspect ratio.

Abstract: A blade includes an airfoil defined by a pressure side outer wall and a suction side outer wall connecting along leading and trailing edges and forming a radially extending coolant receiving chamber. A rib partitions the radially extending chamber into a first passage on a first side of the rib and an adjacent second passage on an opposing second side of the rib. Each passage is enclosed at an end of the radially extending chamber by an end member of the radially extending chamber. A turn opening is defined in an end of the rib through which the coolant passes between the first passage and the second passage within the end member of the radially extending chamber. A bulbous projection extends along the end of the rib and on opposing radially extending sides of the turn opening to reduce stress in the rib and/or connecting fillets.
