Abstract:
A gas turbine engine airfoil includes an airfoil structure including an exterior surface that is provided by an exterior wall that has a leading edge. A radially extending interior wall within the airfoil structure separates first and second radial cooling passages. The first cooling passage is arranged near the leading edge. A radially extending trench is in the leading edge. An impingement hole is provided in the interior wall and is configured to direct a cooling fluid from the second cooling passage to the first cooling passage and onto the exterior wall at the leading edge.
Abstract:
In a featured embodiment, a gas turbine engine component comprises an airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and pressure and suction side walls extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge. The airfoil extends from a base to a tip. A shelf is formed in the tip, and extends from the pressure side wall, around the leading edge, to the suction side wall.
Abstract:
A component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a pedestal that traverses a flow channel disposed between a first wall and a second wall. The pedestal includes at least one interior bore configured to communicate a cooling fluid inside of the pedestal.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes opposing walls that provide an interior cooling passage. One of the walls has a turbulator with a hook that is enclosed within the walls.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes a structure having a surface configured to be exposed to a hot working fluid. The surface includes a recessed pocket that is circumscribed by an overhang. At least one cooling groove is provided by the overhang.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine including a first engine component and a second engine component. The first engine component has a mate face adjacent a mate face of the second engine component. The engine further includes a seal provided between the mate face of the first engine component and the mate face of the second engine component. The seal includes least one trough.
Abstract:
A aerodynamic particle separator for an Additive Manufacturing System (AMS) has an air supply device to entrain a mixed powder in an airstream flowing through a housing. Each particle in the mixed powder is imparted with a momentum dependent upon the particle weight and size. Utilizing this momentum characteristic, the heavier particles are capable of crossing streamlines of the airstream at a bend portion of the housing and the lighter particles generally stay within the streamlines. Utilizing this dynamic characteristic, the particles of specific weight ranges are collected through respective offtake holes in the housing and controllably fed to a spreader of the AMS.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a wall that forms a portion of an outer periphery of at least one cavity and at least one curved turbulator that extends from said wall.
Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment of this disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine including a first engine component and a second engine component. The first engine component has a mate face adjacent a mate face of the second engine component. The engine further includes a seal between the mate face of the first engine component and the mate face of the second engine component. The seal establishes three points of contact with each mate face in at least one condition.
