Abstract:
A method of flowing cooling fluid through a stator vane in a gas turbine engine includes the step of providing an airfoil that has an exterior wall that provides a cooling cavity. The exterior surface has an interior surface that has multiple pin fins that extend therefrom. A baffle is arranged in the cooling cavity and supported by the pin fins. A perimeter cavity is provided between the baffle and the exterior wall. The pin fins are arranged in the perimeter cavity. Cooling fluid flows through a region in the perimeter cavity. The pin fins are arranged in the region having a low Reynolds number and through which the cooling fluid
Abstract:
A baffle insert for a component of a gas turbine engine is provided. The baffle insert having: a first fluid conduit having a first interior cavity extending therethrough; a second fluid conduit having a second interior cavity extending therethrough; and a member located between the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit, wherein the member fluidly couples the first interior cavity to an exterior of the second fluid conduit, and wherein the member fluidly couples the second interior cavity to an exterior of the first fluid conduit and wherein the first interior cavity is isolated from the second interior cavity.
Abstract:
An airfoil includes leading and trailing edges, a first exterior wall extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and having inner and outer surfaces, a second exterior wall extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge generally opposite the first exterior wall and having inner and outer surfaces, and cavities within the airfoil. A first cavity extends along the inner surface of the first exterior wall and a first inner wall and has an upstream end and a downstream end, and a feed cavity is located between the first inner wall and the second exterior wall.
Abstract:
A cooling hole for a component includes a meter section and a diffuser section. The diffuser section has a footprint region defined by five sides, a first side of the five sides extending along substantially an entire height of the diffuser section and second and third sides of the five sides meeting in an obtuse angle opposite the first side. A component having the cooling hole and a method of forming the cooling hole are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a body having leading and trailing edges joined by spaced apart pressure and suction sides to provide an exterior airfoil surface defined by a perimeter wall. An interior wall is arranged interiorly and adjacent to the perimeter wall to provide a cooling passage there between. A cooling passage with first and second portions is tapered and respectively has first and second thicknesses. The first thickness is greater than the second thickness. The second thickness is less than 0.060 inch (1.52 mm).
Abstract:
An example gas turbine engine component includes an airfoil having a leading edge area, a first circuit to cool a first section of the leading edge area, and a second circuit to cool a second section of the leading edge area. The first circuit separate and distinct from the second circuit within the airfoil.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes pressure and suction side walls joined to one another at leading and trailing edges. A stagnation line is located on the pressure side wall aft of the leading edge. A cooling passage is provided between the pressure and suction side walls. Forward-facing cooling holes are provided adjacent to the stagnation line on the pressure side wall and oriented toward the leading edge.
