    摘要: A core for use in casting a turbine bucket including serpentine cooling passages is divided into two pieces including a leading edge core section and a trailing edge core section. Wall thicknesses at the leading edge and the trailing edge of the turbine bucket can be controlled independent of each other by separately positioning the leading edge core section and the trailing edge core section in the casting die. The controlled leading and trailing edge thicknesses can thus be optimized for efficient cooling, resulting in more efficient turbine operation.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for cooling rotor blades of a gas turbine are provided. The turbine blade has an airfoil connected to the platform and a dovetail extending from the platform. A main cooling circuit extends through the dovetail and into the airfoil. The main cooling circuit includes an exit for main cooling flow from the airfoil to exit out through the dovetail. In one aspect, the method includes the steps of extracting a portion of the coolant flowing through the main cooling circuit into a platform cooling circuit. After cooling a portion of the platform, the platform cooling flow splits with one portion of the flow rejoining the main cooling circuit and is used to cool the airfoil. The rest of the platform cooling flow continues to cool the platform and then returns to the main cooling circuit to flow through the exit.
