Abstract: The growing trend to achieve a higher turbine inlet temperature (TIT) in the modern gas turbine industry requires a more efficient and advanced cooling system design. Therefore, a complete study of heat transfer is necessary ...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the impact of in-service deterioration on the overall thermal performance (metal effectiveness) of heavily cooled high-pressure nozzle guide vanes of a design typical of large civil jet engines. ...

Abstract: Turbine vanes are typically assembled as a section containing single or double airfoil units in an annular pattern. First stage guide vane assembly results in two common mating interfaces: a gap between combustor and vane ...
