TURBINE ENGINE AND TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENT WITH IMPROVED COOLING PEDESTALS

摘要

A turbine engine component includes a surface to be cooled by a flow of cooling air and a plurality of pedestals projecting from the surface to be cooled. At least one of the pedestals includes a pedestal surface oriented such that a ray normal to the pedestal surface and directed away from the pedestal surface intersects a line defined by an intersection between the surface to be cooled and the pedestal.
