Abstract:
A component for use in a turbine engine includes a fore edge connected to an aft edge via a first surface and a second surface. Multiple cooling passages are defined within the turbine engine component. A first skin core passage is defined immediately adjacent one of the first surface and the second surface. At least 80% of coolant entering the first skin core passage is expelled from the turbine engine component at the aft edge.
Abstract:
A vane according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a platform extending from an edge face and between spaced apart lateral faces and an airfoil extending outwardly from the platform. The platform includes at least one ejection port in the edge face and at least one passage connected to the at least one ejection port.
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.
