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 component for a turbine engine and method for providing a cooling film on a turbine engine component, including an outer wall separating a hot fluid flow from a cooling fluid flow, using the cooling fluid flow to cool the engine component. A region in the component can include a plurality of film holes with a porous material to meter the flow of cooling fluid provided from the engine component.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for flowing cooling air through an outer wall (118) of an engine component such as an airfoil. The airfoil having the outer wall includes an opening (130). A framework (144) is disposed in the opening adapted to reduce the required flow through the opening to increase the efficiency of the engine and improve cooling.
Abstract:
An airfoil (79) for a turbine engine having an engine component including an air supply circuit (124) coupled to a plurality of passages (150) within the outer wall of the engine component where cooling air moves from the air supply circuit to an outer surface of the engine component through the passages.

Abstract:
An airfoil for a turbine engine having an engine component including an internal cooling circuit fluidly coupled to a plurality of passages within the outer wall of the engine component where cooling air moves from the internal cooling circuit to an outer surface of the engine component through the passages.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a turbine engine comprises: - an outer wall defining a pressure sidewall (98) and a suction sidewall (100), extending chord-wise from a leading edge (102) to a trailing edge (104) and span-wise from a root to a tip (80); - a tip shelf (126) disposed in the pressure sidewall and at least partially defined by the outer wall; and - at least one film hole (132) extending into the tip shelf and having an inlet and an outlet connected by a passage fluidly coupling the inlet to the outlet, with the outlet having an expansion section (136).
Abstract:
Methods for repairing a trailing edge of an airfoil are provided. The method can include removing a portion of the trailing edge of the airfoil to form an intermediate component, and then applying using additive manufacturing a replacement portion on the intermediate component to form a repaired airfoil. The replacement portion defines at least one trailing edge ejection slot.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for flowing cooling air through an outer wall of an engine component such as an airfoil. The airfoil having the outer wall can include a skin layer and a porous layer. The skin layer can include a skin cooling circuit for providing the cooling air from an interior of the airfoil to the exterior of the airfoil through the porous layer.
