Abstract:
An airfoil component for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending from a platform. At least one of the airfoil and the platform includes a cooling passage defined by a surface. A chevron-shaped trip strip extends from the surface into the cooling passage at a trip strip height along a length. The trip strip height varies along the length. A turbine vane for a gas turbine engine includes inner and outer platforms. A cooling passage is provided in the inner platform. The cooling passage is provided by first and second radially extending legs spaced circumferentially apart from one another and joined to one another by a circumferential passage. A pair of airfoils extend radially from the same inner platform. A trip strip extends from the surface into the circumferential passage at a trip strip height along a length. The trip strip height varying along the length.
Abstract:
A stator for a gas turbine engine has a platform supporting multiple vanes that includes first and second vanes respectively. First and second regions are arranged at the same location on the first and second vanes. The first and second regions respectively include first and second cooling hole configurations that are different than one another.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a platform having a first path side and a second path side and a platform cooling circuit disposed on one of the first path side and the second path side of the platform. The platform cooling circuit includes a first core cavity, a cavity in fluid communication with the first core cavity, and a cover plate positioned to cover at least the cavity.
Abstract:
An airfoil comprises pressure and suction surfaces extending axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge and radially from a root section to a tip section, the root section and the tip section defining a span therebetween. A thermal coating extends from the root section of the airfoil toward the tip section of the airfoil. A relative coating thickness of the thermal coating decreases by at least thirty percent at full span in the tip section, as compared to minimum span in the root section.
Abstract:
A method of forming a metal component having different regions containing different grain sizes and porosities is by additive manufacturing. The method includes spreading a layer of starting powder on a temperature controlled moveable platform in a heated chamber with atmosphere and temperature control. Selected areas of the powder are melted and solidified with a computer controlled focused energy beam. The cooled platform is then indexed down and the process repeated. The grain size of the melted and solidified region can be controlled by the cooling rate during solidification which, in turn is controlled by the temperature of the chamber and the temperature of the cooled moveable platform.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a multiple of Nozzle Guide Vanes (NGVs) arranged asymmetrically and a multiple of NGVs clocked with respect to the multiple of fuel nozzles around a 360 degree circumference.
Abstract:
A stator vane for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending in a radial direction and supported by a platform having a gas flowpath surface. A cooling passage is arranged in the platform and includes a circumferential passage that is fluidly connected to an inlet passage extending through and edge of the platform, and film cooling holes extending from the gas flowpath surface to the circumferential passage, radial extending passage through the edge of the platform. A void is interconnected to at least one of the radially extending passage and the inlet passage.
Abstract:
An airfoil (68) includes an airfoil wall (110, 112) including an exterior airfoil surface and at least partially defines an airfoil cavity (104). A fillet (102A, 102B) is on the exterior airfoil surface (98, 100). A recess (114) is in an interior surface of the airfoil wall (110, 112) adjacent the fillet (102A, 102B). A baffle tube (116) is located in the airfoil cavity (104) spaced from the recess (114).
