Abstract: The primary contribution of this research is to clarify the feasibility of a novel lightweight turbine blade with internal and external cooling, which is invented, aiming at drastic reduction ...

Abstract: The demand for cleaner, more efficient energy has driven the motivation for improving the performance standards for gas turbines. Increasing the combustion temperature is one way to get the ...

Abstract: Cooling at the trailing edge of a gas turbine airfoil is one of the most difficult problems because of its thin shape, high thermal load from both surfaces, hard-to-cool geometry of narrow ...
