The effusion passage includes an inlet in an outer periphery of a wall. A wall assembly within a gas turbine engine include a liner panel generally parallel to a support shell and a transverse structure with at least one effusion passage that extends at an angle a therethrough. The effusion passage includes an inlet in an outer periphery of a wall that is transverse to the liner panel and the support shell.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a cooling design feature for inclusion in a liner of an aircraft, comprising: a plurality of angled holes, and at least one through hole separating all combinations of any two of the angled holes, wherein the at least one through hole is oriented at an angle that is substantially perpendicular to a surface of the liner, and wherein each of the plurality of angled holes are non-parallel to the at least one through hole.

Abstract: A combustor for use in a gas turbine engine has a combustor outer shell. A panel has an inner face which will face hot products of combustion, and a boss surrounding a feature, with the boss extending to an outer end. A spacing surface is spaced from the boss, and is at an outer position that is inward of the outer end of the boss. The spacing surface spaces the panel from the outer shell. A trough is intermediate the boss and the spacing surface. The trough extends to an outer end which is inward of the outer position of the spacing surface. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A combustor panel an increased cooling holes provided at at least one of a pair of circumferential edges, a leading edge, a trailing edge or a hole circumference. The increase may be defined as a reduction in spacing or an increase in density. In another feature, holes at the circumferential edges may extend outwardly to an outlet in alignment with rails.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a liner associated with an engine of an aircraft. The liner includes a panel and an array of projections configured to enhance a cooling of the panel and distributed on at least part of a first side of the panel that corresponds to a cold side of the panel.

Abstract: A liner assembly for a combustor of a gas turbine engine according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes a grommet with a multiple of grommet cooling passages.

Abstract: A liner for a combustor of a turbine engine includes a cooling feature which projects from a backside and an effusion hole that communicates through the liner

Abstract: A combustor liner cap assembly is provided for use in a multiple fuel nozzle combustor of a gas turbine. The combustor liner cap assembly includes a tube plate having a plurality of fuel nozzle openings and a plurality of open ended premix tubes extending aft from the tube plate.
