Abstract:
A turbine blade has an attachment root and an airfoil. A cooling passageway system has a plurality of trunks extending from respective inlets along the root inner diameter end from a leading trunk near a first axial end to a trailing trunk near a second axial end; and a plurality of outlets along the airfoil including trailing edge outlets fed by the trailing trunk. Viewed normal to a root end-to-end centerplane: the trailing trunk has a turn passing forward and then rearward; an outside of the turn protrudes forward; and the outside of the turn has a tighter curvature than an inside of the turn.
Abstract:
A blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil that extends a span from a root to a tip. The airfoil is provided by a first portion near the root and has a metallic alloy. A third portion near the tip has a refractory material. A second portion joins the first and third portions and has a functional graded material.
Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment of this disclosure relates to a method of forming an engine component. The method includes forming an engine component having an internal passageway, the internal passageway formed with an initial dimension. The method further includes establishing a flow of machining fluid within the internal passageway, the machining fluid changing the initial dimension.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine including a first engine component and a second engine component. The first engine component has a mate face adjacent a mate face of the second engine component. The engine further includes a seal provided between the mate face of the first engine component and the mate face of the second engine component. The seal includes at least one trough.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes opposing walls that provide an interior cooling passage. One of the walls has a turbulator with a hook that is enclosed within the walls.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a component that includes providing a core structure, casting a component about the core structure, removing a first portion of the core structure from the cast component, and leaving a second portion of the core structure in the cast component to provide a reduced cross-section in the cast component.
Abstract:
Components for gas turbine engines are provided. The components include a hot external wall (324a, 324b, 324c) that is exposed to hot gaspath air when installed within a gas turbine engine, and an interior impingement wall (320), wherein the interior impingement wall defines a feed cavity (316) and at least one impingement cavity (318a, 318b, 318c) is defined between the impingement wall and the external wall. The impingement wall includes a plurality of impingement holes (322) that fluidly connect the feed cavity to the at least one impingement cavity, the external wall includes a plurality of film holes (326a, 326b, 326c) that fluidly connect the at least one impingement cavity to an exterior surface of the external wall, and wherein the only source of cooling air within the at least one impingement cavity is the feed cavity.
Abstract:
Airfoils (300) for gas turbine engines (20) are provided. The airfoils include an airfoil body (302) extending between a first platform (304) and a second platform (306), a first platform feed cavity (330) defined by the first platform, a second platform exit cavity (332) defined by the second platform, a first hybrid skin core cooling cavity passage (316) formed within the airfoil body and fluidly connecting the first platform feed cavity to the second platform exit cavity, and at least one purge aperture (336) formed in the second platform and fluidly connecting the second platform exit cavity to an exterior of the second platform. The airfoil body does not include any apertures fluidly connecting the first hybrid skin core cooling cavity passage to an exterior of the airfoil body.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a cavity (84) including an internal surface (92) of an outer wall (90). A baffle (88) is disposed within the cavity (84) and spaced apart from the internal surface (92). A partition (94) is disposed between the baffle (88) and the internal surface (92) to divide a space between the baffle (88) and the internal surface (92) into at least a first passage (110) and a second passage (112).
