  • Turbine nozzle assembly and gas turbine including the same
    Patent number: 11608754
    Abstract: A gas turbine nozzle assembly of a gas turbine is provided. The turbine nozzle assembly may include a turbine nozzle extending from an inner diameter to an outer diameter and having an airfoil-shaped cross section having a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a pressure side and a suction side each of which extends from the leading edge to the trailing edge, wherein the turbine nozzle may include a hollow airfoil including a plurality of cavities positioned in the airfoil, an insert positioned in one or more of the plurality of cavities of the hollow airfoil, a plurality of cover plates, at least one of which is positioned at one of the inner diameter and at the outer diameter, and a plurality of impingement pans, at least one of which is positioned at one of the inner diameter and at the outer diameter.
    Type: Grant

  • TURBINE BLADE WITH BLADE TIP EJECTOR
    Publication number: 20230020622
    Abstract: A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine. The turbine blade includes an airfoil having a tip cavity. The tip cavity has a floor bounded by a wall. A pocket opening is formed in the wall proximate a trailing edge of the turbine blade. A passageway communicates cooling medium from an internal cooling circuit to a cooling hole formed in part through the floor and in part through the trailing edge.
