The disclosure relates to a component for a turbine engine with a heated airflow and a cooling airflow. The component includes a wall separating the heated airflow from the cooling airflow. The wall can have a heated surface confronting the heated airflow and a cooled surface confronting the cooling airflow. The component can also include a baffle with a set of cooling holes.

An integrated combustor nozzle includes a combustion liner that extends between an inner liner segment and an outer liner segment along a radial direction. The combustion liner including a forward end portion, an aft end portion, a first side wall, and a second side wall. An impingement panel having an impingement plate disposed along an exterior surface of one of the inner liner segment or the outer liner segment. The impingement plate defines a plurality of impingement apertures that direct coolant in discrete jets towards the exterior surface of the inner liner segment or the outer liner segment. The impingement panel includes an inlet portion that extends from the impingement plate to a collection duct. The impingement panel further includes a plurality of supports spaced apart from one another. The plurality of supports extend between, and are coupled to, the inlet portion, the collection duct, and the impingement plate.

A combustor includes an inner liner forming a combustion chamber; an outer liner surrounding the inner liner to form a cooling passage in which compressed air flows; and a plurality of cooling guides installed around an inner circumferential surface of the outer liner to surround the combustion chamber, each of the cooling guides protruding from the inner circumferential surface to create an impinging jet from the compressed air flowing in the cooling passage. The plurality of cooling guides surrounding the combustion chamber are installed at regular intervals in a flow direction of the compressed air, and are arranged in staggered axial rows. Each cooling guide includes an air guiding surface facing the flow of the compressed air to guide the compressed air toward the inner liner. Accordingly, liner cooling efficiency can be enhanced by more effectively guiding the impinging jet toward the inner liner.

An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This assembly includes a multi-walled structure including a cold wall, a hot wall and a cooling cavity vertically between the cold wall and the hot wall. The cold wall includes a plurality of cold wall apertures fluidly coupled with the cooling cavity. The cold wall apertures are configured to subject the cold wall to a cold wall pressure drop vertically across the cold wall. The hot wall includes a plurality of hot wall apertures fluid coupled with the cooling cavity. The hot wall apertures are configured to subject the hot wall to a hot wall pressure drop vertically across the hot wall that is greater than or equal to the cold wall pressure drop.

A gas turbine combustion duct includes a duct body and a fluid intake hole. The duct body includes a duct wall defining a plenum for routing a flow of combustion products from a combustor downstream through the gas turbine combustion duct to a turbine section. The fluid intake hole extends from an outward-facing surface to an inward-facing surface through the duct wall for receiving an outside fluid flow into the plenum, and is laterally circumscribed about its entire periphery by a lateral-facing surface. The lateral-facing surface includes a curved surface portion along a shortest path from the inward-facing surface to the outward-facing surface and is free of angled surface transitions along the shortest path between the inward-facing surface and the outward-facing surface.
