Definitions

  • the present invention relates to enhanced cooling of the leading edge of airfoil portions of turbine engine components using trip strips that are preferably staggered and wrapped around the nose of the leading edge cavity.
  • FIG. 1 where there is shown an airfoil portion 10 of a turbine engine component 12. As can be seen from the figure, a radial flow leading edge cavity 14 is used to effect cooling of the leading edge region.
  • a turbine engine component broadly comprises an airfoil portion having a leading edge, a suction side, and a pressure side, a radial flow leading edge cavity through which a cooling fluid flows for cooling the leading edge, and means for generating a vortex in the leading edge cavity which impinges on a nose portion of the leading edge cavity.
  • the vortex generating means preferably comprises a first set of trip strips which wrap around the nose portion of the leading edge cavity and a second set of trip strips. The first set of trip strips is preferably staggered relative to the second set of trip strips.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the leading edge 30 of an airfoil portion 32 of a turbine engine component.
  • the leading edge 30 has a leading edge cavity 34 in which a cooling fluid, such as engine bleed air, flows in a radial direction.
  • the leading edge 30 also has a nose portion 36 and an external stagnation region 38.
  • trip strips are desirable to provide adequate cooling of the leading edge, especially at the nose portion 36 of the airfoil portion 32 adjacent to the external stagnation region 38.
  • the trip strip arrangement which will be discussed hereinafter provides high heat transfer to the leading edge 30 of the airfoil portion 32.
  • a plurality of trip strips 40 are positioned on the pressure side 42 of the airfoil portion 32, while, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 6, a plurality of trip strips 44 are placed on the suction side 46 of the airfoil portion 32.
  • the trip strips 40 on the pressure side 42 are wrapped around the leading edge nose portion 36.
  • the curvature of the leading edge nose portion 36 causes the trip strips 40 to be oriented more or less normal to the direction of flow 48 (see FIG. 6).
  • the flow is tripped and generates a large vortex 49 at the leading edge (see FIG. 7). This large vortex generates very high heat transfer coefficients at the leading edge nose 36.
  • the trip strips 40 and the trip strips 44 are preferably staggered approximately one half pitch apart between the suction side 46 and the pressure side 42 of the airfoil portion 32. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, there is also a gap 47 between adjacent ones of the trip strips 40 and the trip strips 44. Each gap 47 is preferably located along a parting line 70 of the airfoil portion 32.
  • the orientation of the trip strips 40 and 44 in the cavity 34 also increases heat transfer at the leading edge 30 of the airfoil portion 32.
  • the trip strips 40 and 44 may be oriented at an angle ⁇ of approximately 45 degrees relative to the flow direction 48.
  • the leading edges 54 and 56 of the trip strips 40 and 44 are positioned in the region of highest heat load, in this case the leading edge nose 36.
  • This trip strip orientation permits the creation of a turbulent vortex 49 in the cavity 34.
  • the cooling fluid initially hits the leading edges 54 and 56 of the trip strip and separates from the airfoil surface. The flow then re-attaches downstream of the trip strip leading edges 54 and 56 and moves toward the divider rib 60 between the leading edge cavity 34 and the adjacent cavity 62.
  • trip strip configuration allows for cooling flow to impinge on the leading edge nose 36, further enhancing heat transfer.
  • the leading edge of the trip strips 40 and 44 is located near the nose 36 of the leading edge cavity 34.
  • trip strips 40 although skewed at an angle ⁇ with respect to the direction of flow 48 along the pressure-side wall 42, become normal to the direction of flow 48 as they wrap around the nose 36 of the leading edge cavity 34, increasing the turbulent vortex 49 generated by the trip strips 40 and 44, and subsequently increasing the heat transfer coefficient.
  • the trip strips 40 and 44 may overlap with the trip strip 40 extending underneath the trip strip 44, and vice-versa.
  • trip strips 40 have been described as being on the pressure side wall 42 of the airfoil portion, they could instead be mounted to the suction side wall 46 if desired. In such a situation, the trip strips 44 would be mounted to the pressure side wall 42.
  • the staggered and 45 degree angled trip strips generate a vortex that impinges flow onto the nose 36 of the leading edge cavity.
  • the trip strip configuration of the present invention maintains a P/E ratio between 3 and 25 where P is the radial pitch in between trip strips and E is trip strip height. Further, the trip strip configuration described herein maintains an E/H ratio of between 0.15 and 1.50 where E is trip strip height and H is the height of the cavity 34.
  • Airflow testing has shown that the heat transfer coefficients at the leading edge of the airfoil adjacent to the external stagnation region when using the staggered trip strips of the present invention are enhanced by approximately two times, greatly increasing airfoil oxidation and thermo-mechanical fatigue cracking life.
