ABSTRACT:
A turbine airfoil for high temperature applications has a spanwise trailing edge slot and a cut back pressure side wall. The pressure side wall has a thickness t at its downstream end. The slot is divided into channels which discharge a film of cooling air over the exposed back surface of the suction side wall downstream of the cut back pressure side wall. Each channel tapers from a throat at its upstream end (which meters the flow of cooling air) to the slot outlet of width s. The airfoil is designed with a ratio t/s of no more than 0.7 which significantly improves cooling of the trailing edge, reduces required cooling air flow, and permits greater cut back distances.
