Abstract: An increasingly common experimental method allows determination of the overall effectiveness of a film cooled turbine component. This method requires the Biot number of the experimental model to match that of the engine ...

Abstract: The problem of two dissimilar semi-infinite solids at different initial temperatures brought into contact has a well-known simple analytical solution. In this work, this problem is reexamined with the additional simultaneous ...

Abstract: The surface temperature of a film cooled turbine hot gas path component is typically nondimensionalized according to the overall effectiveness. This nondimensionalization scheme takes advantage of the fact that the surface ...
