Abstract
A shroud includes a panel having leading and trailing edges and inner and outer surfaces extending therebetween. A cooling passage extends through the panel from adjacent the leading edge to an intermediate location and is generally parallel to the inner and outer surfaces. The cooling passage has an inlet for receiving cooling air from adjacent the panel outer surface, a plurality of spaced apart turbulators disposed adjacent to the panel inner surface, and an outlet disposed at the leading edge for discharging the cooling air from the passage.
