Abstract: An apparatus and method relating to a cooling hole of a component of a turbine engine. The cooling hole can extend from an inlet to an outlet to define a passage. The cooling hole can include a laid back section where a coating can be applied. The method can include forming the cooling hole in the component and applying the coating to the component to maintain a specific geometry.

Abstract: A cooled shroud assembly for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centerline includes at least one arcuate shroud segment surrounding a row of rotating turbine blades. The shroud segment has a forward flange, an aft flange defining an axially-facing aft edge, and an inwardly-facing flowpath surface, and the shroud segment lacks cooling holes for cooling the aft flange or the aft edge. At least one stationary turbine nozzle is disposed axially next to the shroud segment and includes an airfoil-shaped airfoil and an arcuate outer band disposed at a radially outer end of the airfoil and positioned axially adjacent to the shroud. At least one cooling hole is formed in the outer band in fluid communication with a source of cooling air. The cooling hole is positioned so as to direct a flow of cooling air against the shroud segment.

Abstract: A turbine nozzle includes outer and inner bands integrally joined to a doublet of hollow vanes extending radially therebetween. Each of the vanes includes opposite pressure and suction sidewalls extending between opposite leading and trailing edges, and spaced apart to define an internal plenum extending radially between the bands for receiving an air coolant. The vanes are spaced apart from each other to define a flow passage for channeling hot combustion gases which are bound by corresponding pressure and suction sidewalls of the vanes facing inboard toward each other, with the remaining suction and pressure sidewalls of the vanes facing outboard. The vanes include different cooling configurations to bias more of the coolant to the inboard sidewalls than to the outboard sidewalls.
