Abstract: Hospitals are among the most energyintensive commercial buildings in the service industry. Their energy demand is characterized by specific features, being operative 24 h a day, 365 days a year. Several activities performed ...

Abstract: An experimental survey on a state of the art leading edge cooling scheme was performed to evaluate heat transfer coefficients (HTC) on a large scale test facility simulating a high pressure turbine airfoil leading edge ...

Abstract: Matrix cooling systems are relatively unknown among gas turbines manufacturers of the western world. In comparison to conventional turbulated serpentines or pin–fin geometries, a lattice–matrix structure can potentially ...

Abstract: A detailed aerothermal characterization of an advanced leading edge (LE) cooling system has been performed by means of experimental measurements. Heat transfer coefficient distribution has been evaluated exploiting a ...
