Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to one exemplary embodiment includes an airfoil body that extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge. A cooling circuit can be defined within the airfoil body. The cooling circuit can include at least one trip strip disposed within a cavity of the cooling circuit between a leading edge inner wall and a first rib. The at least one trip strip can include an increasing height in a direction from the first rib toward the leading edge inner wall.
Abstract:
A rotor blade comprises a root section, an airfoil section, a leading edge cooling cavity, an intermediate cooling cavity, and a trailing edge cooling cavity. The leading edge, intermediate, and trailing edge cooling cavities each extend spanwise through the airfoil section from a coolant inlet passage in the root section, and each terminate proximate the airfoil tip.
