Abstract: High inlet temperatures in a gas turbine lead to an increase in the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine. This results in the requirement of cooling of gas turbine blades/vanes. Internal cooling of the gas turbine blade/vanes ...

Abstract: The use of advanced pedagogical methodologies in connection with advanced use of modern information technology for delivery enables new ways of communicating, of exchanging knowledge, and of learning that are gaining ...

Abstract: Experiments are conducted to investigate the effect of the prehistory in the aerodynamic performance of a threedimensional nozzle guide vane with a hub leading edge contouring. The performance is determined with two pneumatic ...

Abstract: A method is proposed for the determination of the aeroelastic behavior of a system responding to modeshapes which are different from the tuned in vacuo ones, due to mistuning, mode family interaction, or any other source ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation on a cooled nozzle guide vane (NGV) has been conducted in an annular sector to quantify aerodynamic influences of shower head (SH) and trailing edge (TE) cooling. The investigated vane is a ...
