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:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first platform and an airfoil extending from the first platform. The airfoil includes a first fillet, pressure side biased discharge openings, and a first center cooling discharge opening. A pressure side wall of the airfoil and the first platform form an acute angle at the trailing edge. The first fillet is formed around a perimeter of the airfoil where the airfoil extends from the first platform. The pressure side biased cooling discharge openings are along the trailing edge outside of the first fillet. Each pressure side biased cooling discharge opening extends from the trailing edge along the pressure side wall. The first center cooling discharge opening extends along the trailing edge into the first fillet and is centrally located between the pressure side wall and the suction side wall.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes an outer airfoil wall that provides an exterior surface and multiple radially extending cooling passages. The exterior surface provides pressure and suctions sides joined by leading and trailing edges. The cooling passages include a supply passage arranged upstream from and in fluid communication with a trailing edge passage. A cooling hole extends through the outer airfoil wall from the supply passage to the exterior surface on the suction side.
Abstract:
An article includes a body that has a coating thereon. The coating has a first portion disposed on a first section of the body and a second portion disposed on a second, different section of the body. The first portion has a first microstructure and the second portion has a second, different microstructure.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes a structure having a cooling passage providing upstream and downstream portions separated from one another by an inner wall and fluidly connected by a bend. The downstream portion includes an outer wall opposite the inner wall to provide a downstream region extending between the inner and outer walls. A turbulence promoter extends from the outer wall adjacent to the bend in the downstream portion. The turbulence promoter is absent from a stagnation region adjoining the inner wall adjacent to the bend in the downstream portion
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes spaced apart pressure and suction walls joined at leading and trailing edges to provide an airfoil. Intermediate walls interconnect the pressure and suction walls to provide cooling passageways. The cooing passageways have interior pressure and suction surfaces that are respectively provided on the pressure and suction walls. Trip strips include a chevron-shaped trip strip that is provided on at least one of the interior pressure and suction surfaces.
Abstract:
A turbine vane includes an inner platform (72) and an outer platform (74) joined together by an airfoil (70). The airfoil (70) has a leading edge (80) and a trailing edge (82) joined together by a pressure side (84) and a suction side (86) disposed opposite the pressure side (84). The inner platform (72) defines a plurality of first inner cooling holes (96) and a plurality of second inner cooling holes (98) that are fluidly connected to an inner cooling passage (94). The plurality of first inner cooling holes (96) are disposed proximate the leading edge (80) and extend towards the suction side (86) and the plurality of second inner cooling holes (98) are disposed proximate the trailing edge (82) and the suction side (86) and extend towards the leading edge (80).
Abstract:
A turbine blade (161) includes a platform (162), an airfoil tip (164), and an airfoil section (165) between the platform (162) and the airfoil tip (164). The airfoil section (165) has a cavity (177) spaced radially from the airfoil tip (164) and a plurality of cooling passages (182) radially between the cavity (177) and the airfoil tip (164). Each of the plurality of cooling passages (182) defines an exit port (184) adjacent the airfoil tip (164). An internal feature (188) within each of the plurality of cooling passages (182) is configured to meter flow to the exit port (184).
