An airfoil with dual-wall cooling for a gas turbine engine comprises a spar having a pressure side wall and a suction side wall meeting at a leading edge and a trailing edge of the airfoil. An interior of the spar comprises a coolant cavity. The suction side wall includes an arrangement of rails on an outer surface thereof, where each rail extends along a non-chordal direction and terminates at or near the trailing edge. The airfoil also comprises a suction side coversheet overlying the suction side wall, where an inner surface of the suction side coversheet is in contact with the arrangement of rails so as to define a plurality of angled channels between the suction side wall and the suction side coversheet. The suction side wall also comprises inlet holes in fluid communication with the coolant cavity for feeding coolant to the angled channels, and the arrangement of rails is configured to direct the coolant through the angled channels and toward the trailing edge of the airfoil.

An inner shroud block component for a gas turbine. The inner shroud block has a surface with a plurality of wells formed therein. An array of protuberances extend away from a base surface of each of the wells. The array of protuberances produces convective cooling of the inner shroud block, resulting in increased cooling of the inner shroud block and better part life. The increased cooling capacity also allows the turbine to operate at higher temperatures, which results in additional power generation.
