Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) provides designers with the freedom to implement many designs that previously would have been costly or difficult to traditionally manufacture. This experimental study leverages this freedom and ...

Abstract: While additive manufacturing (AM) can reduce component development time and create unique internal cooling designs, the AM process also introduces several sources of variability, such as the selection of machine, material, ...

Abstract: Surface features are a common heat transfer enhancement method used in a myriad of applications including gas turbines and heat exchangers. One such style of surface feature is diamond pyramids, which offer significant ...

Abstract: Rib turbulators are a key cooling feature that enables increased heat transfer on the interior of gas turbine components. As metal additive manufacturing becomes available for developing turbine parts, it is becoming ...

Abstract: To improve the efficiency and durability of gas turbine components, advancements are needed in cooling technologies. To accomplish this task, some manufacturers are turning to additive manufacturing (AM), as it offers the ...

Abstract: Gas turbines feature many components that require superalloys capable of handling extreme thermal environments. Increasing the selection of materials available for these components is important to their use in these extremely ...
