An effusion cooled transition duct for transferring hot gases from a combustor to a turbine is disclosed. The transition duct includes a panel assembly with a generally cylindrical inlet end and a generally rectangular exit end with an increased first and second radius of curvature, a generally cylindrical inlet flange, and a generally rectangular end frame. Cooling of the transition duct is accomplished by a plurality of holes angled towards the end frame of the transition duct and drilled at an acute angle relative to the outer wall of the transition duct. The combination of the increase in radii of curvature of the panel assembly with the effusion cooling holes reduces component stresses and increases component life. An alternate embodiment of the present invention is shown which discloses shaped angled holes for improving the film cooling effectiveness of effusion holes on a transition duct while reducing film blow off.
