Abstract:
A turbine engine system includes a heat source, a heat exchanger, a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet. The heat source includes a first passage. The heat exchanger includes a second passage and a third passage. The first and the second passages are configured in a closed loop circuit. The third passage is configured between the inlet and the outlet in an open loop circuit.
Abstract:
An embedded microcircuit (5) for producing an improved cooling film over a surface of a part, comprises an inlet through which a coolant gas may enter, a circuit channel (29) extending from the inlet through which the coolant gas may flow, and a slot film hole (31) formed at a terminus of the circuit channel (29) through which the coolant gas may exit a part.
Abstract:
BLADE OUTER AIR SEAL CORES AND MANUFACTURE METHODS A blade outer air seal (BOAS) casting core has first and second end portions and a plurality of legs. Of these legs, first legs each have: a proximal end joining the first end portion; a main body portion; and a free distal portion. Second legs each have: a proximal end joining the second end portion; a main body portion; and a free distal portion.
