Gas turbine engine airfoil cooling circuit arrangement
A component for a gas turbine engine includes, among other things, an airfoil that extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge and a cooling circuit disposed inside of the airfoil. The cooling circuit includes at least one core cavity that extends inside of the airfoil, a baffle received within the at least one core cavity, a plurality of pedestals positioned adjacent to the at least one core cavity and a first plurality of axial ribs positioned between the plurality of pedestals and the trailing edge of the airfoil.
1. A gas turbine engine, comprising:
a compressor section;
a combustor section in fluid communication with said compressor section;
a turbine section in fluid communication with said combustor section; and
at least one of said compressor section and said turbine section including a component having an airfoil that extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge and a cooling circuit disposed inside of said airfoil, wherein said cooling circuit includes:
at least one core cavity that radially extends inside said airfoil and includes a first plurality of axial ribs;
a baffle received within said at least one core cavity, wherein said baffle includes a convex side and a concave side, and each of said convex side and said concave side include a plurality of feed holes, and said plurality of feed holes of said convex side are larger than said plurality of feed holes of said concave side;
a plurality of pedestals positioned adjacent to said at least one core cavity; and
a second plurality of axial ribs positioned between said plurality of pedestals and said trailing edge of said airfoil.
2. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein said component is a vane.
3. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , comprising a plurality of augmentation features between each rib of each of said first plurality of axial ribs and said second plurality of axial ribs.
4. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of pedestals are oblong shaped.
5. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein said baffle extends between opposing open ends and includes at least one feed hole.
6. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first plurality of axial ribs are radially disposed along an inner wall of said at least one core cavity.
7. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein said airfoil includes an inner diameter portion, an outer diameter portion, and a mid-portion between said inner diameter portion and said outer diameter portion, and a portion of said first plurality of axial ribs nearest to each of said inner diameter portion and said outer diameter portion are spaced a larger distance relative to one another than another portion of said first plurality of axial ribs nearest said mid-portion.
8. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of said second plurality of axial ribs includes a break that divides said at least one of said second plurality of axial ribs into a first rib section and a second rib section.
9. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , wherein said plurality of pedestals includes at least a first row of pedestals and a second row of pedestals, wherein said second row of pedestals is radially staggered relative to said first row of pedestals.
10. The gas turbine engine as recited in claim 1 , comprising a leading edge core cavity that is fluidly isolated from said at least one core cavity.
