Abstract
A blade airfoil for a turbine engine that includes an internal multiple pass serpentine flow cooling circuits with a leading edge circuit and a trailing edge circuit. The entrance of a cavity in the leading edge circuit has a narrowing of a cavity width that expands further downstream to a consistent cavity width similar to the cavity width of the rest of the leading edge circuit.
