Abstract
An internally cooled turbine blade for use in a gas turbine engine includes a serpentine channel extending within the turbine blade for flowing cooling air through the interior of the blade. The turbine blade includes turbulators positioned within the serpentine channel to cause or increase turbulence of the cooling air flowing through the serpentine channel, increasing the heat transfer between the turbine blade and the cooling air before exiting a plurality of air outlets within the turbine blade.
