Shrouded turbine blade
Abstract:
A turbine component including a shrouded airfoil with a flow conditioner configured to direct leakage flow and coolant to be aligned with main hot gas flow is provided. The flow conditioner is positioned on a shroud base radially adjacent to the tip of the airfoil and includes a ramped radially outer surface positioned further radially inward than a radially outer surface of the shroud base. The ramped radially outer surface extends from a first edge to a second edge in a direction generally from the suction side to the pressure side of the airfoil, such that the first edge is positioned further radially inward than the second edge. Multiple coolant ejection holes are positioned on the ramped radially outer surface. The coolant ejection holes are connected fluidically to an interior of the airfoil.
