Turbine blade and engine component
A turbine blade that is used in a turbine of a gas turbine engine and cooled by cooling air, and includes a cooling channel that is formed within the turbine blade and in which the cooling air flows, plural bottomed recesses that are formed on a blade surface of the turbine blade and of which each downstream-side inner wall is inclined, and an ejection hole that is formed on each bottom of the plural bottomed recesses and communicates with the cooling channel to eject the cooling air. The ejection hole is formed so that a central line of the ejection hole extends along the downstream-side inner wall. The above turbine blade can improve cooling without reducing efficiency.
1. A turbine blade that is used in a turbine of a gas turbine engine and cooled by cooling air, the blade comprising:
a cooling channel that is formed within the turbine blade and in which the cooling air flows;
a plurality of bottomed recesses that is formed on a blade surface of the turbine blade and of which each downstream-side inner wall is inclined; and
an ejection hole that is formed on each bottom of the plurality of bottomed recesses and communicates with the cooling channel to eject the cooling air, wherein
the ejection hole is formed so that a central line of the ejection hole extends along the downstream-side inner wall,
a partition extending in a span direction is formed in an inside of the turbine blade, and the cooling channel is partitioned by the partition, and
at least one of the bottomed recesses is formed on the blade surface, at a position associated with the partition, and
wherein the upstream-side inner wall of the bottomed recess is formed perpendicularly to the blade surface.
2. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein
an inclined angle of the central line of the ejection hole to a plane parallel to the downstream-side inner wall of the bottomed recess is set within a range of ±20 degrees.
3. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein
the ejection hole has a shape whose cross-sectional hole area is made larger toward an outlet end thereof.
4. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one of the plurality of bottomed recesses is formed as a bottomed slot extending along a span direction, and a plurality of the ejection holes is formed at a bottom of the bottomed slot at intervals along the span direction.
5. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein
each upstream-side inner wall of the bottomed recesses is inclined.
6. The turbine blade according to claim 5 , wherein
at least one of an upper edge of the downstream-side inner wall and an upper edge of the upstream-side inner wall of the bottomed recess is formed as a smoothly curved surface.
7. An engine component that is used in a gas turbine engine and cooled by cooling air, the component comprising:
a cooling channel that is formed within the engine component and in which the cooling air flows;
a plurality of bottomed recesses that is formed on a surface of the engine component and of which each downstream-side inner wall is inclined; and
an ejection hole that is formed on each bottom of the plurality of bottomed recesses and communicates with the cooling channel to eject the cooling air, wherein
the ejection hole is formed so that a central line of the ejection hole extends along the downstream-side inner wall,
a partition extending in a span direction is formed in an inside of the turbine blade, and the cooling channel is partitioned by the partition, and
at least one of the bottomed recesses is formed on the blade surface, at a position associated with the partition, and
wherein the upstream-side inner wall of the bottomed recess is formed perpendicularly to the blade surface.
