Abstract
An apparatus relating to a component for a turbine engine which generates a hot gas fluid flow, and provides a cooling fluid flow. The component having a wall separating the hot gas fluid flow from the cooling fluid flow and having a heated surface along which the hot gas fluid flow flows and a cooled surface facing the cooling fluid flow. At least one cooling hole including a connecting passage extending from a first inlet located at the cooled surface, to a first outlet located at the heated surface, the connecting passage defining a downstream flow direction from the first inlet to the first outlet, the connecting passage comprising a metering section fluidly coupled to the first inlet and defining a metered centerline and a diffusing section, downstream of the metering section, defining a diffused centerline, and fluidly coupling the metering section to the first outlet.
