Abstract: Gas turbines have been extensively used for aircraft engine propulsion, land-based power generation, and industrial applications. Power output and thermal efficiency of gas turbines increase with increasing turbine rotor ...

Abstract: Jet impingement cooling has been extensively investigated due to its significant applications on the airfoil leading edge region; however, most of which are about normal jet impingement. The systematic research on swirl ...

Abstract: Serpentine, multi-pass cooling passages are used in cooling advanced gas turbine blades. In the open literature, most internal cooling studies use a fixed cross-sectional area for multi-pass channels. Studies that use ...

Abstract: An experimental study was completed to quantify heat transfer enhancement, pressure loss, and crossflow effect within a channel of inline impinging jets. The jet diameter is 5.08 mm; the jet-to-jet spacings in the streamwise ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was performed to measure the regionally averaged heat transfer distributions and friction factors for fully developed turbulent flow in a rectangular channel with a width-to-height aspect ratio ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the measurements of heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop of different pin or fin configurations in a high aspect ratio (AR = 9.57/1.2) channel. Two different pin-fin shapes including circular ...

Abstract: This work summarizes studies that experimentally investigated the effect of rotation on heat transfer in the 180 deg tip and hub turns of cooling channels with various aspect ratios (ARs). The studied AR ranges from 1:4 ...

Abstract: The combined effects of inlet purge flow and the slashface leakage flow on the film cooling effectiveness of a turbine blade platform were studied using the pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) technique. Detailed film cooling ...

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 ...
