Abstract: A nozzle segment for a nozzle ring of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The nozzle segment includes an upper endwall, a lower endwall, and an airfoil extending between the upper endwall and the lower endwall. The airfoil includes a pressure side wall, a plurality of inner cooling apertures, and a plurality of outer cooling apertures. The plurality of inner cooling apertures extends through a pressure side wall and is arranged in a first row adjacent the lower endwall. The plurality of outer cooling apertures extends through the pressure side wall and is arranged in a second row adjacent the upper endwall.

Abstract: A nozzle arrangement for a gas turbine engine comprising a first housing member and a second housing member. The nozzle arrangement may further include a first nozzle and a second nozzle. Each of the first nozzle and second nozzle may extend between the first housing member and the second housing member so as to form a doublet. A plurality of cooling apertures may be arranged on at least one of the first nozzle, the second nozzle, the first housing member, or the second housing member so as to provide a different degree of first order cooling across the doublet.

Abstract: A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The turbine blade can include at least one internal cooling path, and an internal vane disposed in the at least one internal cooling path. The internal vane can include a central portion, a first leg extending in a first direction from the central portion, and a second leg extending in a second direction from the central portion. The central portion can have a thickness greater than a thickness of the first leg or a thickness of the second leg.

Abstract: A nozzle segment for a nozzle ring of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The nozzle segment includes a first endwall, a second endwall, and an airfoil extending between the first endwall and the second endwall. The airfoil includes a multiple groups of cooling apertures spaced apart and alternating in directionality such that a first grouping of cooling apertures is angled toward the first endwall, a second grouping of cooling apertures is angled toward the second endwall and spaced apart from the first grouping of cooling apertures, and a third grouping of cooling apertures are angled toward the first endwall and spaced apart from the second grouping of cooling apertures.

Abstract: A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine. The turbine blade includes a base having a blade root, a platform, a cooling air inlet, and a base air passageway. The turbine blade also includes an airfoil section adjoined to the base and having an outer wall, an airfoil air passageway, a plurality of trailing edge slots in fluid communication with the airfoil air passageway and a plurality of directional film holes through the outer wall in fluid communication with the airfoil air passageway. The plurality of directional film holes includes a first portion configured to discharge the cooling air toward a tip end, and a second portion configured to discharge the cooling air toward the platform.
