    Abstract: An apparatus and method for cooling an engine component includes a wall. The wall can include multiple layers. The layers can be different materials and define an interior for the engine component. The layers can include shaped features to define a serial cooling air flow path for providing a flow from the interior to an exterior of the engine.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section. The turbine section includes a turbine component stage, the turbine component stage including a plurality of turbine components together including a flowpath surface along a circumferential direction of the gas turbine engine. The flowpath surface defines in part a core air flowpath of the gas turbine engine and further defines a contour along the circumferential direction. The contour repeats less frequently than once per turbine component to accommodate a hot gas streak through the turbine section.

    Abstract: An engine component can comprise a cooled surface adjacent to a cooling flow and a hot surface adjacent to a hot flow of fluid. The component can comprise a wall separating the hot and cooling flows, defining the cooled surface and the hot surface, and having a plurality of film holes disposed in the wall. At least one turbulator and at least one film hole inlet can be disposed on the cooled surface. The turbulator and the inlet can be arranged to provide a steady flow of cooling fluid to the film hole. One arrangement can comprise spacing the film hole inlet at least two turbulator heights from the turbulator.

    Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes at least one pair of fixed vanes to define a nozzle between the pair of fixed vanes. The vanes can have an interior chamber defining a cooling circuit with a particle separator located within the interior chamber. The particle separator, which can comprise a virtual impactor, can have an accelerator for accelerating fluid moving through the virtual impactor such that the flow path is divided into a major flow moving into the interior chamber and a minor flow moving into a particle collector defined within the virtual impactor. The accelerator accelerates the fluid such that particles within the fluid are carried by their momentum into the particle collector with the minor flow, removing the particles from the major flow of fluid moving into the interior chamber.

    Abstract: A component includes a substrate having an outer surface and an inner surface, where the inner surface defines at least one hollow, interior space. The outer surface of the substrate defines a pressure side wall and a suction side wall. The pressure and suction side walls are joined together at a leading edge and at a trailing edge of the component. The outer surface defines one or more grooves that extend at least partially along the pressure or suction side walls in a vicinity of the trailing edge of the component. Each groove is in fluid communication with a respective hollow, interior space. The component further includes a coating disposed over at least a portion of the outer surface of the substrate. The coating comprises at least a structural coating, where the structural coating extends over the groove(s), such that the groove(s) and the structural coating together define one or more channels for cooling the trailing edge of the component. A method of forming cooling channels in the vicinity of the trailing edge of a component is also provided.
