Abstract
A platform for a stator vane assembly includes a main body that extends between a forward end and an aft end. The platform further includes an opening that is defined within the main body. The opening is configured to receive an airfoil segment of the stator vane assembly. A forward portion of the main body extends between the forward end and the opening. An aft portion of the main body extends between the opening and the aft end. A cooling circuit is defined within the platform. The cooling circuit includes a first plenum defined in the forward portion, and at least one re-use plenum defined in the aft portion and separated from the first plenum. The cooling circuit further includes a connecting channel that fluidly couples the first plenum and the at least one re-use plenum.
