Zigzag cooled turbine airfoil

A turbine airfoil includes pressure and suction sidewalls spaced apart to define flow channels extending in span and separated by ribs. Side channels are disposed along one sidewall and spaced from the opposite sidewall by the ribs, and a mid channel bridges the sidewalls. The side and mid channels...

Zusammenfassung:A turbine airfoil includes pressure and suction sidewalls spaced apart to define flow channels extending in span and separated by ribs. Side channels are disposed along one sidewall and spaced from the opposite sidewall by the ribs, and a mid channel bridges the sidewalls. The side and mid channels are arranged in a zigzag serpentine cooling circuit alternating therebetween for transferring heat from the sidewall into the mid channel.
