Abstract:
A rotor blade (14) for a rotor assembly (10) is provided that includes a root (180, an airfoil (20), and a damper (24). The airfoil (20) includes a base (28), a tip (30), a pressure side wall (36), a suction side wall (38), and a cavity (40) disposed therebetween. The cavity (40) extends substantially between the base (28) and the tip (30), and includes a first cavity portion (44), a second cavity portion (46), and a channel (42) disposed between the first cavity portion (44) and the second cavity portion (46). A plurality of first pedestals (48) are disposed within the first cavity portion (44) adjacent the channel (42), and a plurality of second pedestals (48) are disposed within the second cavity portion (46) adjacent the channel (42). The damper (24) is selectively received within the channel (42).
Abstract:
A component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things a wall and a vascular engineered lattice structure formed inside of the wall. The vascular engineered lattice structure defines a hollow vascular structure configured to communicate a fluid through the vascular engineered lattice structure. The vascular engineered lattice structure has at least one inlet hole and at least one outlet hole that communicates the fluid into and out of the hollow vascular structure.
Abstract:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first platform and an airfoil extending from the first platform. The airfoil includes a first fillet, pressure side biased discharge openings, and a first center cooling discharge opening. A pressure side wall of the airfoil and the first platform form an acute angle at the trailing edge. The first fillet is formed around a perimeter of the airfoil where the airfoil extends from the first platform. The pressure side biased cooling discharge openings are along the trailing edge outside of the first fillet. Each pressure side biased cooling discharge opening extends from the trailing edge along the pressure side wall. The first center cooling discharge opening extends along the trailing edge into the first fillet and is centrally located between the pressure side wall and the suction side wall.
Abstract:
A self-cooled orifice structure, for example a dilution hole structure for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, includes a cold side panel spaced from a hot side panel, and a continuous inner wall extending between the hot and cold side panels and defining an orifice communicating through the hot and cold side panels. A plurality of end walls of the structure are in a cooling cavity that is defined in-part by the hot and cold side panels and the inner wall. Each end wall extends between and are engaged to the hot and cold side panels and are circumferentially spaced from the next adjacent end wall. A plurality of inlet apertures extend through the cold side panel, in fluid communication with the cavity, and proximate to a first side of the end walls. A plurality of outlet apertures extend through the hot side panel, in fluid communication with the cavity, and associated with an opposite second side of the end walls.
Abstract:
A hybrid sacrificial core for forming an impingement space and an internal cooling passageway network separate from the impingement space of a part may comprise a ceramic core having a first surface portion for forming the impingement space, and a refractory metal core that forms a plurality of passages of the internal cooling passageway network.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes first and second walls spaced apart from one another to provide a cooling passage. First and second trip strips are respectively provided on the first and second walls and arranged to face one another. The first and second trip strips are arranged in an interleaved fashion with respect to one another in a direction.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a wall having an internal surface and an outer skin, a cooling hole having an inlet extending from the internal surface and merging into a metering section, and a diffusion section downstream of the metering section that extends to an outlet located at the outer skin. The diffusion section of the cooling hole includes a first side diffusion angle, a second side diffusion angle and a downstream diffusion angle at a downstream surface of the diffusion section, the downstream diffusion angle being less than the first side diffusion angle and the second side diffusion angle.
Abstract:
An airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a suction surface, a pressure surface, a cooling passageway, and a plurality of oblong pedestals. The suction surface and the pressure surface both extend axially between the leading edge and the trailing edge, as well as radially from a root section to a tip section of the airfoil. The cooling passageway is located between the suction surface and the pressure surface. The oblong pedestals connect the suction surface to the pressure surface at the trailing edge of the airfoil.
