Abstract: A blade for a turbine engine with a wall separating a cooling fluid flow and a hot gas fluid flow and having a heated surface along which the hot gas fluid flow flows and a cooled surface facing the cooling fluid flow. A plurality of cooling holes each having a passage extending between an inlet at the cooled surface and an outlet at the heated surface. The outlet extending between an upstream end and a downstream end with respect to the hot gas fluid flow to define a distance, the passage defining a centerline forming a first angle (?) with the heated surface.

Abstract: A system for selecting components for an engine includes an electronic control unit comprising a processor and a memory component and a machine-readable instruction set. The machine-readable instruction set is stored in the memory component of the electronic control unit and causes the system to perform at least the following when executed by the processor: receive a catalog of a plurality of components, where the plurality of components include a measured manufacturing characteristic, receive at least one operating environment characteristic of a plurality of operating environment characteristics, and select one or more components from the catalog of the plurality of components for a bill of materials based on the measured manufacturing characteristic and the at least one operating environment characteristic.
