Abstract: The present work is part of a comprehensive heat transfer and filmcooling study on a locally cooled nonaxisymmetric contoured turbine endwall. A new test rig consisting of a linear cascade of three prismatic vanes at unity ...

Abstract: The cooling air flow in a gas turbine is governed by the flow through its internal passages and controlled by restrictors such as circular orifices. If the cooling air flow is incorrectly controlled, the durability and ...
