Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a pressure side and a suction side, with a root and a tip wall. The pressure side and suction side extend beyond the tip wall to define a tip channel, defining a plurality of internal and external corners. A tip shelf can be defined in the pressure or suction sidewalls. A film hole can extend to the tip shelf, such that the film hole can be shaped to direct a flow of cooling fluid to the film hole to improve film cooling at the tip shelf.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes at least one pair of fixed vanes to define a nozzle between the pair of fixed vanes. The vanes can have an interior chamber defining a cooling circuit with a particle separator located within the interior chamber. The particle separator, which can comprise a virtual impactor, can have an accelerator for accelerating fluid moving through the virtual impactor such that the flow path is divided into a major flow moving into the interior chamber and a minor flow moving into a particle collector defined within the virtual impactor. The accelerator accelerates the fluid such that particles within the fluid are carried by their momentum into the particle collector with the minor flow, removing the particles from the major flow of fluid moving into the interior chamber.

Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine comprises an airfoil having an outer surface. One or more cooling passages can be disposed within the airfoil, having a cooling passage extending along a trailing edge. A plurality of cooling channels can extend from the cooling passage through the trailing edge. At least one flow element and at least one film hole can be disposed in the cooling channel or the trailing edge passage adjacent the cooling channel. The flow element and the film hole can be in a predetermined relationship with one another providing improved flow to the film hole.

Abstract: A blade for a gas turbine engine comprises an airfoil having a pressure side and a suction side, with a root and a tip wall. The pressure side and suction side extend beyond the tip wall to define a tip channel, defining a plurality of internal and external corners. The corners comprise fillets to define a thickness being greater than the thickness for the pressure, suction, or tip walls. A film hole can extend through the fillet, such that the length of the film hole at the fillet can be increased to define an increased length-to-diameter ratio for the film hole to improve film cooling through the film hole.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for cooling an engine airfoil, including a wall bounding an interior extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge and radially between a root and a tip. A cooling circuit it located within the interior having full-length ribs, partial-length ribs, passages, or channels can define a cooling circuit for providing a flow of cooling fluid through the airfoil. The tip can include a tip cap forming a portion of the cooling circuit.
