Zusammenfassung: | An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an array of pins positioned in an internal cavity of the airfoil, such that cooling channels are defined in the interspaces between adjacent pins. Each pin extends lengthwise from a first airfoil wall to a second airfoil wall and is connected thereto at a first intersection and at a second intersection respectively. The pin has a first cross-sectional shape at a respective intersection and a second cross-sectional shape at an intermediate plane located between the first and second intersections. The first cross-sectional shape includes a closed shape defined by relatively sharp corners and the second cross-sectional shape includes a closed shape defined by relatively rounded corners. A cross-sectional area of the pin at the intermediate plane is greater than a cross-sectional area of the pin at the respective intersection. |
