Abstract: A turbine airfoil includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. Also included is a cooling channel extending in a radial direction and tapering inwardly toward the trailing edge, the cooling channel at least partially defined by a pressure side face and a suction side face. Further included is a first plurality of turbulators protruding from one of the pressure side face and the suction side face to define a first height, the first plurality of turbulators extending toward the trailing edge of the turbine airfoil and spaced radially from each other. Yet further included is a second plurality of turbulators protruding from one of the pressure side face and the suction side face to define a second height that is less than the first height, the second plurality of turbulators extending toward the trailing edge of the turbine airfoil and spaced radially from each other.

Abstract: A turbomachine includes a plurality of blades, and each blade has an airfoil. The turbomachine includes opposing walls that define a pathway into which a fluid flow is receivable to flow through the pathway. A throat distribution is measured at a narrowest region in the pathway between adjacent blades, at which adjacent blades extend across the pathway between the opposing walls to aerodynamically interact with the fluid flow. The airfoil defines the throat distribution, and the throat distribution reduces aerodynamic loss and improves aerodynamic loading on each airfoil.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a gas turbine engine. The rotor blade includes a platform having a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface. A connection portion extends radially inwardly from the radially inner surface of the platform. An airfoil extends radially outwardly from the radially outer surface of the platform to an airfoil tip. The airfoil includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion. The platform, the airfoil, and the connection portion collectively define a cooling circuit extending from an inlet defined by the connection portion to one or more outlet passages at least partially defined by the trailing edge portion of the airfoil. At least one of the one or more outlet passages include an entrance and an exit radially inwardly offset from the entrance.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a gas turbine engine. The rotor blade includes a platform comprising a radially inner surface, an undulating radially outer surface, a leading edge portion, a trailing edge portion, a pressure-side slash face, and a suction-side slash face. An airfoil extends outwardly from the undulating radially outer surface of the platform to an airfoil tip. A connection portion extends radially inwardly from the radially inner surface of the platform. The platform, the airfoil, and the connection portion collectively define a cooling circuit extending from an inlet in the connection portion through the airfoil to a plurality of outlet plena in the platform. Two or more outlet plena of the plurality of outlet plena are spaced equidistant from the undulating radially outer surface of the platform.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, an airfoil for a rotor blade of a gas turbine includes a normalized pressure side wall portion thickness, a normalized suction side wall portion thickness, a normalized leading edge wall thickness, and a normalized trailing edge wall thickness. The values of theses thicknesses define the pressure side wall portion thickness, the suction side wall portion thickness, the leading edge wall thickness, and the trailing edge wall thickness, which improve heat transfer, flow distribution, and mechanical load transfer.

Abstract: The present application thus provides a method for reducing stress on a turbine blade wherein each of the turbine blades includes a dovetail with lockwire tab. The method may include the steps of (a) determining a starting line for a backcut relative to a lockwire tab end, (b) determining a cut angle for the backcut, and (c) removing material from the lockwire tab according to the starting line and the cut angle to form the dovetail backcut. The starting line may be positioned about 0.6 inches (about 15.24 millimeters), plus or minus 0.065 inches (about 1.65 millimeters) from the lockwire tab end along the dovetail axis.
