The cooling duct is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet in the combustor casing and is configured to transport a flow of cooled air. The outer duct surrounds at least a portion of the cooling duct and extends along a portion of an entire length of the cooling duct. The outer duct defines a gap with the cooling duct and is configured to transport a flow of buffer air. The turbine section is disposed downstream from the combustion section. The cooling duct is in fluid communication with the turbine section.

The present disclosure is directed to a system for bleeding air from a compressed gas path of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an impeller positioned at a downstream end of a compressor in the gas turbine engine. The impeller includes an impeller hub, an impeller arm coupled to the impeller hub, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart impeller vanes extending radially outwardly from the impeller arm. The impeller arm defines an impeller arm aperture extending therethrough. A vortex spoiler is positioned radially inwardly from the impeller arm and defines a vortex spoiler passage extending radially therethrough. Bleed air flows from the compressed gas path radially inwardly through both the impeller arm aperture and the vortex spoiler passage.

Airfoil assemblies for gas turbine engines are described. The airfoil assemblies include an airfoil body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, and a suction side, the airfoil body extending in a radial direction between a first end and a second end, wherein the airfoil defines an internal cavity bounded by interior surfaces of the airfoil body, the airfoil body formed from a high-temperature-material material and a metallic insert member installed within the internal cavity. One or more radially extending ribs are arranged on an exterior surface of the metallic insert member and defining one or more radially extending passages between the exterior surface of the metallic insert member and the interior surface of the airfoil body.

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.
