Abstract:
A turbine vane airfoil and a turbine nozzle that includes the turbine vane airfoil. The turbine vane airfoil includes an airfoil defining a chamber proximate a surface, and an impingement tube. The impingement tube includes a first wall and a second wall. The first wall defines a plurality of first apertures, and each has a first upstream surface portion opposite a first downstream surface portion. The second wall defines a plurality of second apertures, and each has a second upstream surface portion opposite a second downstream surface portion. Each of the first apertures cooperate with a respective one of the second apertures to direct a cooling fluid onto the surface, and the first downstream surface portion of at least one of the first apertures includes a first point that is collinear with a second point of the second downstream surface portion of the respective one of the second apertures.
