Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method of cooling a wall 12 used in a gas turbine engine. SOLUTION: A microcircuit 10 to cool the wall 12 of a gas turbine engine contains a cooling air passage 11 having a plurality of segments 36 interconnected in series by one or more chambers 38, an inlet hole 40, and an outlet hole 42. The inlet hole 40 is connected to a cooling air passage 11 on one side of the wall 12 and the outlet hole 42 is connected to the cooling air passage on the other side of the wall 12. Cooling air on the inlet hole 40 side of the wall 12 flows in the cooling air passage 11 through the inlet hole 40 and flows out through the outlet hole 42.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coolable airfoil or vane, which can operate at a high temperature for a long time but requires a minimal amount of coolant. SOLUTION: A blade or vane for a gas turbine engine includes a main cooling system 42 having a series of intermediate passages 44, 46a, 46b, 46c, and 48, and a subordinate cooling system 92 having a series of cooling ducts 94 (94a to 94h). The ducts of subordinate cooling system 92, being parallel to and having the same radial extent with the intermediate passages, are installed between the intermediate passages 44, etc., and outer surface 28 of the airfoil and within a surrounding wall 16. The ducts are installed within high temperature load regions 104 and 106 in the direction of a chord so as to maximize efficiency. The ducts are recommended to have the same extent in the direction of a chord in several intermediate passages in order to avoid an excessive rise in coolant temperature within the intermediate passages. The length of the duct in the direction of a chord is limited so as not to generate a temperature gradient, with could lead to failure, at airfoil wall 16.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for cooling a rotor blade wall by utilizing a smaller amount of cooling air than in conventional cooling methods and devices. SOLUTION: This method for cooling a wall 12 of a rotor blade 21 includes a step for providing the wall 12 having inner and outer faces, a step for disposing in the wall 12 a cooling micro circuit 10 with a passage for cooling air extending between the inner and outer faces, and a step for enhancing heat transfer to a fluid from the wall 12 to the passage by increasing an average heat transfer coefficient per unit flow rate in the micro circuit 10. This method and device can be adjusted so as to substantially coincide with a thermal profile of the wall 10 at that place.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device to perform proper cooling along the front edge of a hollow airfoil, have a position adapted for a variable stagnation line, generate a cooling airfilm, having uniformity and permanency, in a position situated downstream from the front edges on the two side part of the airfoil and further, minimize a stress generating at the wall of the airfoil. SOLUTION: A hollow airfoil 16 comprises a body; a trench 18; and a plurality of cooling holes 38 formed in the trench. The body is extended in the direction of a chord between a front edge 26 and a rear edge and extended in the direction of a span between an outside radial surface and an inside radial direction and contains an external wall 24 to surround a cavity 22. A trench 18 is situated at an external wall 24 along the front edge 26 and extended in the direction of a span, and aligned with a stagnation line (a stagnation point 42) extending along the front edge 26.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a uniform and stable cooling air film in the downstream of the front edge on both sides of an air foil by expanding the space between adjacent openings to reduce a high stress area, eliminating uncooled areas in the individual cooling points and between them, and eliminating uncooled areas in the middle of the cooling opening and on its downstream. SOLUTION: A tubine blade 10 of a gas turbine engine has a root part 12, a platform 14, an air foil 16 and a blade tip 18. The air foil 16 has one, two or more inner cavities surrounded with an outer wall 22, and at least one of them is located in the vicinity of the front edge 24 of the air foil 16 and plural cooling openings 26. The cooling openings 26 are arranged along the front edge 24 to provide a passage for allowing cooling air to pass through the outer wall 22. Plural first and second openings are provided and respectively directed toward the suction side part 28 and the pressure side part 30. The flow of cooling air crosses the front edge 24 to perform suitable cooling.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the movement of the core gas flow toward the radial boundary at both of inner and outer sides of a core gas passage by increasing a speed of the core gas flow for preventing the generation of the secondary flow of the core gas flow toward a wall in an area where a front edge of a blade is adjacent to the wall. SOLUTION: A turbine of a gas turbine engine has a plurality of stationary blade segments 26 on a plurality of stationary blade stages. Each stationary blade segment 26 has at least one blade 28 extending between platforms 30, 32 as the inner and outer walls. Here, a means 38 for changing the direction of the core gas flow is used for separating the core gas flow of high temperature from a region where a front edge 50 of the blade 28 is adjacent to the walls 30, 32. Whereby a speed of the core gas flow is increased, the pressure gradient is reduced, and the secondary core gas flow in the directions of walls 30, 32 can be reduced. A fillet 48 extending in the longitudinal direction or the height direction from the front edge 50 of the blade 28 forms the means 38.
