Turbine blade with counter flowing near wall cooling channels

摘要

A turbine rotor blade with counter flowing near wall cooling channels that includes an outer spanwise flowing near wall cooling channel and an inner chordwise flowing near wall cooling channel connected in series and with an arrangement of pedestals to produce turbulent flow. Cooling air form the spanwise flow channels flows through a blade tip floor cooling channel and then into a collection cavity, and then through impingement cooling holes in the leading edge region and into the chordwise channels before discharging out exit holes on both sides of the blade. An arrangement of pedestals forms 90 degree flow paths through the near wall cooling channels.
