Feature based cooling using in wall contoured cooling passage

Abstract:

A combustion liner or component produced through the use of additive manufacturing techniques. The combustion liner or other component may be formed having a feature based optimized cooling circuit at least partially embedded in the thickness of the material. The internal cooling circuit, may be used, along with other benefits, to control the temperature of the component and prevent hot-spots and uneven heat distribution across the surface of the component.
