Abstract: A turbine that includes an inner shroud segment having a cooling configuration in which interior channels are configured to receive and direct a coolant. The cooling configuration may include a pair of counterflowing crossflow channels in which a first crossflow channel extends side-by-side with a neighboring second crossflow channel; and a feed and outlet channel configuration comprising neighboring feed and outlet channels. The feed channel may connect at a first connection to an upstream end of the first crossflow channel and the outlet channel may connect at a second connection to a downstream end of the second crossflow channel. The feed channel may extend in an inner radial direction from an inlet to the first connection. The outlet channel may extend in an outer radial direction from the second connection to an outlet. The feed channel may include a section that undercuts the outlet channel.

Abstract: A turbine blade includes an airfoil that extends from a root end to a tip end. A tip shroud extends from the tip end. The turbine blade further includes a pressure side fillet. The pressure side fillet couples the tip end to the tip shroud. The pressure side fillet includes a first protrusion located adjacent to the tip end and a second protrusion located radially inward from the first protrusion.

Abstract: A cast turbine nozzle includes an airfoil having a body including a suction side, a pressure side opposing the suction side, a leading edge spanning between the pressure side and the suction side, a trailing edge opposing the leading edge and spanning between the pressure side and the suction side, and a cooling cavity defined by an inner surface of the body. The nozzle also includes at least one endwall connected with the airfoil along the suction side, the pressure side, the trailing edge and the leading edge, and a plurality of heat transfer protrusions extending inwardly from the inner surface within the body, the plurality of heat transfer protrusions extending from the leading edge along the suction side and along the pressure side in a radially staggered columnar pattern. The inner surface includes a planar surface extending between adjacent heat transfer protrusions.

Abstract: A turbine having a stationary shroud ring formed about rotor blades. The stationary shroud ring may include an inner shroud segment. The inner shroud segment may include a cooling configuration that includes a crossflow channel. The crossflow channel may extend lengthwise between an upstream end and a downstream end, and, therebetween, include a junction point that divides the crossflow channel lengthwise into upstream and downstream sections, with the upstream section extending between the upstream end and the junction point, and the downstream section extending between the junction point and the downstream end. The crossflow channel may have a cross-sectional flow area that varies lengthwise such that a cross-sectional flow area of the upstream section decreases between the upstream end and the junction point, and a cross-sectional flow area of the downstream section increases between the junction point and the downstream end.

Abstract: A turbine nozzle having an airfoil that includes a pressure side portion of a nominal airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z of a pressure side as set forth in Table I. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a height of the airfoil defined along the Z axis. The X and Y values of the pressure side are coordinate values that, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define pressure side sections of the pressure side portion of the nominal airfoil profile at each Z coordinate value. The pressure side sections may be joined smoothly with one another to form the pressure side portion.
