A turbomachine airfoil element comprises an airfoil having: an inboard end; an outboard end; a leading edge; a trailing edge; a pressure side; and a suction side. A span between the inboard end and the outboard end is 1.35-1.65 inches. A chord length at 50% span is 1.20-1.60 inches. At least two of: a first mode resonance frequency is 2858±10% Hz; a second mode resonance frequency is 4916±10% Hz; a third mode resonance frequency is 7160±10% Hz; a fourth mode resonance frequency is 10268±10% Hz; a fifth mode resonance frequency is 14235±10% Hz; and a sixth mode resonance frequency is 15088±10% Hz.

A mold assembly for use in forming a component having an outer wall of a predetermined thickness includes a mold and a jacketed core. The jacketed core includes a jacket that includes a first jacket outer wall coupled against an interior wall of the mold, a second jacket outer wall positioned interiorly from the first jacket outer wall, and at least one jacketed cavity defined therebetween. The at least one jacketed cavity is configured to receive a molten component material therein. The jacketed core also includes a core positioned interiorly from the second jacket outer wall. The core includes a perimeter coupled against the second jacket outer wall. The jacket separates the perimeter from the interior wall by the predetermined thickness, such that the outer wall is formable between the perimeter and the interior wall.

A blade includes an airfoil defined by a pressure side outer wall and a suction side outer wall connecting along leading and trailing edges and form a radially extending chamber for receiving a coolant flow. A rib configuration may include: a leading edge transverse rib connecting the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall and partitioning the radially extending chamber into a leading edge passage within the leading edge of the airfoil and a central passage adjacent to the leading edge passage. One or both camber line ribs connect to a corresponding pressure side outer wall and suction side outer wall at a point aft of the leading edge transverse rib causing the central passage to extend towards one or both of the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall, resulting in a flared center cavity aft of the leading edge.

A turbine engine includes a frame assembly including an outer cavity and an inner cavity with the outer cavity including at least one opening configured and adapted to communicate cooling air to the turbine case. A baffle within the outer cavity includes a plurality of openings for directing cooling airflow into the outer cavity for preventing impingement on a radially inner wall of the outer cavity for maintaining a desired temperature of the cooling air within the outer cavity.

A turbine blade having a casing and having an inner module, wherein a cooling medium can flow through the inner module both in a longitudinal direction and in a radial direction, and the inner module is attached to the casing by fixed bearings and floating bearings. A method for producing a turbine blade having an inner module and having a casing is produced by selective laser melting.

A gas turbine engine component, especially an aerofoil-sectioned nozzle guide vane (NGV), having at least one internal cooling chamber for passage of cooling air, the chamber including leading edge portion and one inlet portion via which cooling air may enter the chamber from feed source, wherein the component includes a partitioning element, e.g. curved or scoop-shaped partitioning plate or wall, provided in the chamber inlet portion and defining within the inlet portion a sub-chamber adjacent the leading edge portion, and wherein partitioning element is configured so the cooling air velocity in the sub-chamber is less than the cooling air velocity in the remainder of inlet portion. The reduced velocity of the cooling air in the sub-chamber adjacent the leading edge serves to increase pressure therein, thereby maintaining desired backflow pressure margin between the feed pressure of the cooling air delivered to the showerhead holes and the gas-path from the combustor.

The present invention relates to a gas-turbine combustion chamber having a combustion chamber wall, to which combustion chamber tiles are fastened by means of bolts, where in the bolt fastening area in the combustion chamber wall at least one impingement cooling hole is provided, the center axis of which is inclined to the center axis of the bolt and intersects a transition area between the bolt and the combustion chamber tile.

A turbomachine, in particular a steam turbine, has a shield and a coolant supply which causes cold intermediate superheater steam to flow onto the rotor, wherein additionally supply holes are arranged in the shield, which holes bring part of the hot inflow steam into the cooling region between the shield and the rotor, in order to thus improve mixing so as to raise the temperature of the rotor at this thermally loaded point, such that in the event of a fault (e.g., failure of the coolant line) the resulting change in temperature is moderate.

In a gas turbine for aeronautic engines, a stator body delimited by an outer lateral surface is cooled by an air cooling device having a plurality of circumferential tubes for distributing air on the outer lateral surface; each circumferential tube having a plurality of outlets for guiding respective cooling airflows towards the outer lateral surface and into a respective circumferential channel obtained between two groups of circumferential channels adjacent to each other and lapped by the flow of air leaving the circumferential channel.

A gas turbine engine includes an electrical device and a microchannel cooling system in communication with the electrical device to remove heat.
