Abstract: This paper presents the effects of downstream film cooling, with and without leading edge showerhead film cooling, on turbine vane external heat transfer. Steady-state experimental measurements ...

Abstract: The purpose of this experimental investigation was to produce a data base of end-wall heat transfer data under conditions that simulate those in the passage of the first-stage stator in advanced ...

Abstract: This paper presents data showing the improvement in cooling effectiveness of turbine vanes through the application of water–air cooling technology in an industrial/utility engine application. The ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental study of aerodynamic (surface velocity) and heat transfer distributions over the surfaces of two different, highly loaded, low-solidity contemporary turbine vane ...
