Abstract
A coupling assembly for a turbine engine. The coupling assembly includes a cold side component, a hot side component, and a fastening mechanism. The cold side component and the hot side component together at least partially form a combustion chamber. The fastening mechanism couples the hot side component to the cold side component. The fastening mechanism includes a stud disposed through the cold side component and a cap positioned on the stud. The cap defines a hollow interior and includes one or more first cap cooling holes. The one or more first cap cooling holes operably direct cooling air into the hollow interior such that the hollow interior provides a cushion of air between the combustion chamber and the stud.
