Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a rotor blade for a turbine. More particularly, this invention involves a rotor blade having a flared tip configured for cooling a trailing edge portion of the rotor blade.
  • an air-ingesting turbo machine e.g., a gas turbine
  • air is pressurized by a compressor and then mixed with fuel and ignited within an annular array of combustors to generate combustion gases.
  • the hot gases are routed through a liner and into a hot gas path defined within a turbine section of the turbo machine.
  • Kinetic energy is extracted from the combustion gases via one or more rows of turbine rotor blades that are connected to a rotor shaft. The extracted kinetic energy causes the rotor shaft to rotate, thus producing work.
  • the turbine rotor blades or blades generally operate in extremely high temperature environments.
  • the blades typically include various internal cooling passages or cavities.
  • a cooling medium such as compressed air is routed through the internal cooling passages.
  • a portion of the cooling medium may be routed out of the internal cooling passages through various cooling holes defined along the blade surface, thereby reducing high surface temperatures.
  • An area that is generally challenging to cool effectively via the cooling medium is a blade tip portion of the turbine rotor blade, more particularly a trailing edge region of the blade tip.
  • the blade tip is generally defined at a radial extremity of the turbine rotor blade and is positioned radially inward from a turbine shroud that circumscribes the row of blades.
  • the turbine shroud defines a radially outward boundary of the hot gas path. The proximity of the blade tip to the turbine shroud makes the blade tip difficult to cool. The contiguity of the shroud and the blade tip minimizes the leakage of hot operating fluid past the tip which correspondingly improves turbine efficiency.
  • a tip cavity formed by a recessed tip cap and a pressure side wall and a suction side wall provides a means for achieving minimal tip clearance while at the same time assuring adequate blade tip cooling.
  • the pressure side wall and the suction side wall extend radially outwardly from the tip cap. At least a portion of at least one of the suction side wall and the pressure side wall is flared or inclined outward with respect to a radial centerline of the blade.
  • the pressure side wall intersects with the suction side wall at a leading edge portion of the blade. However, the pressure side wall does not intersect with the suction side wall at the trailing edge, thus forming an opening therebetween. This configuration is generally due to the lack of an appropriate wall thickness of the blade along the trailing edge.
  • the cooling medium is exhausted from the internal passages through holes in the tip cap into the tip cavity, thus effectively cooling the pressure and suction side walls as well as the tip cap surface.
  • US 2002/182074 A1 describes a turbine assembly having at least one rotor blade that comprises an airfoil having a pressure sidewall, a suction sidewall and a tip portion having a tip cap.
  • a tip is disposed on the tip cap.
  • a plurality of blade tip cooling holes are positioned within the airfoil near the tip portion. Cooling grooves are disposed within the airfoil to connect the blade tip cooling holes with the top portion of the tip to transition cooling flow from the cooling holes to the tip portion.
  • US 2004/179940 A1 describes a rotating blade for a gas turbine engine which is configured to uniformly diffuse cooling air from an internal cavity about the tip of the rotating blade.
  • the rotating blade includes a secondary cavity interposed between an internal cavity and the peripheral edge of the blade tip, wherein the secondary cavity steps down the cooling air pressure, decreasing the momentum of the cooling air exiting the rotating blade tip.
  • the cooling air is diffused about the tip of the rotating blade into cooling slots aligned along the peripheral edge, such that a sub-boundary layer of cooling air is built-up adjacent to surface of the airfoil.
  • US 2014/047842 A1 describes an airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes pressure and suction walls spaced apart from one another and joined at leading and trailing edges to provide an airfoil that extends in a radial direction.
  • the airfoil has a cooling passage arranged between the pressure and suction walls that extend toward a tip of the airfoil.
  • the tip includes a pocket that separates the pressure and suction walls.
  • Scarfed cooling holes fluidly connect the cooling passage to the pocket.
  • the scarfed cooling holes include a portion that is recessed into a face of the suction wall and exposed to the pocket.
  • US 8 801 377 B1 describes a turbine rotor blade with a squealer tip having an enclosed pocket channel formed below the squealer floor and having an inlet end opening adjacent to a leading edge region of the blade tip to receive cooler hot gas streanl and direct the cooler gas toward the trailing edge region, and with film cooling holes along the aft section of the blade tip that discharge the cooler hot gas flow passing through the pocket channel onto the tip rail surface to produce both cooling and sealing.
  • a similar pocket channel with film cooling holes can be used on the pressure and the suction sides of the blade tip.
  • US 2014/037458 A1 describes a rotor blade for a turbine of a combustion turbine engine having an airfoil that includes a pressure and a suction sidewall defining an outer periphery and a tip portion defining an outer radial end.
  • the tip portion includes a rail that defines a tip cavity.
  • the airfoil includes an interior cooling passage configured to circulate coolant.
  • the rotor blade further includes: a slotted portion of the rail; and at least one film cooling outlet disposed within at least one of the pressure sidewall and the suction sidewall of the airfoil.
  • the film cooling outlet includes a position that is adjacent to the tip portion and in proximity to the slotted portion of the rail.
  • EP 2 479 382 A1 describes a rotor blade has a radially extending aerofoil body which provides an aerofoil surface having pressure and suction sides extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the aerofoil body.
  • the rotor blade further has squealer tip at the radially outward end of the aerofoil body.
  • the squealer tip comprises a peripheral wall surrounding a cavity which is open at the radially outward end of the blade and at the trailing edge of the aerofoil body.
  • the peripheral wall has at least one first region which extends radially from the aerofoil surface and which has a first outer surface which is a continuation of the aerofoil surface.
  • the peripheral wall further has, along at least part of at least one of the pressure side and the suction side, at least one second region which is inclined outwardly of the cavity with respect to the radial direction of the blade and which has a second outer surface which extends obliquely outwardly of the blade from the aerofoil surface.
  • a radially outer portion of the second outer surface turns towards the radial direction to truncate the outward extension of the second outer surface.
  • One embodiment of the present invention is a rotor blade as claimed in claim 1.
  • Another embodiment is a gas turbine comprising such a rotor blade.
  • radially refers to the relative direction that is substantially perpendicular to an axial centerline of a particular component and/or substantially perpendicular to an axial centerline of the turbomachine
  • axially refers to the relative direction that is substantially parallel and/or coaxially aligned to an axial centerline of a particular component and/or to an axial centerline of the turbomachine.

  • a working fluid such as air flows through the inlet section 12 and into the compressor section 14 where the air is progressively compressed, thus providing pressurized air to the combustors of the combustion section 16.
  • the pressurized air is mixed with fuel and burned within each combustor to produce combustion gases 34.
  • the combustion gases 34 flow through the hot gas path 32 from the combustor section 16 into the turbine section 18, wherein energy (kinetic and/or thermal) is transferred from the combustion gases 34 to the rotor blades 28, thus causing the rotor shaft 24 to rotate.
