Abstract: For fully developed flow in closed finned channels used to augment heat transfer, there exists an optimal geometrical design of the size and number of cooling channels. In this paper, the ...

Abstract: Because of the disadvantages associated with present power plant cooling systems, a new concept in waste heat dissipation, called “phased-cooling”, is introduced. Heated condenser cooling water ...

Abstract: Results are presented for an experimental study of fluid flow in models of gas turbine disk cavities. Experiments were performed on 70-cm-dia disks for rotational Reynolds numbers up to 2.29 ...

Abstract: The sealing characteristics of an air-cooled gas turbine disk cavity have been studied using laser sheet flow visualization. Experiments were performed on a simplified half-scale model of an ...
