Cooling pocket for turbomachine nozzle
Last updated:
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a nozzle for a turbomachine. The nozzle includes an inner side wall, an outer side wall radially spaced apart from the inner side wall, and an airfoil extending radially from the inner side wall to the outer side wall. The airfoil defines a cavity that extends radially through the nozzle. The cavity is at least partially defined by a cavity wall. The cavity wall at least partially defines a pocket in fluid communication with the cavity. A cooling passage is defined by one of the inner side wall or the outer side wall. The cooling passage is in fluid communication with the cavity via the pocket.
