Turbine and method for separating particulates from a fluid |
摘要 |
According to one aspect of the invention, a turbine airfoil includes a first cavity inside the turbine airfoil configured to receive a fluid and a second cavity inside the turbine airfoil. The turbine airfoil also includes a passage inside the turbine airfoil that provides fluid communication between the first and second cavities, wherein the passage includes a curved portion configured to separate particulates from the fluid as the fluid flows through the passage. |

1. A turbine airfoil comprising:
a first cavity inside the turbine airfoil configured to receive a fluid; a second cavity inside the turbine airfoil; and a passage extending through the turbine airfoil from a pressure side surface to a suction side surface, the passage providing fluid communication between the first and second cavities, wherein the passage includes a straight portion, a curved portion, and a hairpin portion arranged between the straight portion and the curved portion, the passage being configured to separate particulates from the fluid as the fluid flows through the passage. |
