Abstract: Recent advances in computing power have made conjugate heat transfer simulations of turbine components increasingly popular; however, limited experimental data exist with which to evaluate these ...

Abstract: In this study the conjugate heat transfer effects for an internally cooled vane were studied experimentally and computationally. Experimentally, a large scale model vane was used with an internal ...

Abstract: This paper presents two low-cost alternatives for turbine blade surface heat transfer and fluid dynamics measurements. These models embody careful compromises between typical academic and full-scale ...
