Abstract: In a structure for internally cooling a turbine blade, a cooling medium passage is provided in the turbine blade. The cooling medium passage has a shape in which a plurality of cylindrical spaces, each having substantially cylindrical shape, extending in parallel with each other partially overlap each other. A cooling medium supply passage that supplies a cooling medium to the cooling medium passage is connected to a portion of the cooling medium passage that includes a peripheral wall, in a direction that forms an acute angle with respect to a longitudinal direction of the cooling medium passage.

Abstract: A double-jet film cooling structure includes: an injection port, formed on a wall surface facing a high-temperature gas passage; a main passage as a straight round hole to supply cooling medium to the injection port; a pair of branch passages as straight round holes; and communication passages connecting the main passage to the branch passages. The main passage and the branch passages have same constant inner diameters. Each communication passages has an envelope surface obtained by continuously arranging straight round holes each passing a branch point and having the constant inner diameter. Transverse injection angles of the branch passages relative to gas flow along the wall surface are oriented in opposite directions. An angle between axial direction of the main passage and the wall surface is greater than an angle formed between axial direction of branch passage and the wall surface.

Abstract: Provided is a film cooling structure capable of suppressing a cooling medium film from being separated from a wall surface, to increase a film efficiency on the wall surface and thereby-cool the wall surface effectively. One or more pairs of injection holes are formed on a wall surface facing a passage of high-temperature gas to inject a cooling medium to the passage. A single supply passage is formed inside the wall to supply the cooling medium to the injection holes. A separating section is provided between the injection holes in a location forward relative to rear ends of the injection holes to separate the cooling medium into components flowing to the injection holes. An injection direction of the cooling medium is inclined relative to a gas flow direction so that the cooling medium forms swirl flows that push the cooling medium against the wall surface.

Abstract: A combined-type gas turbine engine system is provided which achieves high efficiency by very effectively using exhaust heat from a gas turbine engine. In a gas turbine engine system including: a compressor for compressing a first working medium; a heater for heating the compressed first working medium by an external heat source; a turbine for outputting power from the first working medium; an intermediate cooler provided at the compressor for cooling the first working medium compressed by a low-pressure compression part of the compressor and supplying the first working medium to a high-pressure compression part of the compressor; and an exhaust heat boiler using as a heating medium an exhaust gas from the turbine, a Rankine cycle engine using the intermediate cooler and the exhaust heat boiler as heat sources and a cooling medium of the intermediate cooler as a second working medium.

Abstract: A film cooling structure includes a wall surface which faces a gas-flow passage for high-temperature gas. One or more than one pair of jetting holes are formed on the wall surface so as to respectively jet cooling media into the gas-flow passage. The pair of jetting holes respectively have jetting directions in which the cooling media are jetted from the pair of jetting holes into the gas-flow passage. The jetting directions of the pair of jetting holes are respectively set so as to respectively form swirls in directions in which the cooling media are mutually pressed against the wall surface.
