Abstract: This study investigated a practical but never exploited issue concerning the influence of flow leakage through a gap downstream on the film cooling performance with discrete-hole injection. A ...

Abstract: Using an analogous mass transfer system based on naphthalene sublimation, the present research focuses on investigating the local heat transfer characteristics from three-pass smooth and turbulated ...

Abstract: Local convective heat transfer at the tip region of grooved blades is experimentally investigated. The present study models the problem by flow over a shrouded, rectangular cavity, with the ...

Abstract: Modern gas turbine engines provide large amounts of thrust and withstand severe thermal-mechanical conditions during the load and mission operations characterized by cyclic transients and long ...

Abstract: Aimed at improving the maximum available power density in a planar-type solid oxide fuel cell, an analytical model is proposed in this work to find the optimum size of a current collector ...

Abstract: The present study explores the heat transfer enhancement induced by arrays of cubic fins. The fin element is either a cube or a diamond in shape. The array configurations studied include both ...

Abstract: The trailing edge section of modern high-pressure turbine airfoils is an area that requires a high degree of attention from turbine performance and durability standpoints. Aerodynamic loss near ...

Abstract: One significant issue concerning the impingement heat transfer with a jet array is related to the so-called “crossflow,” where a local jet performance is influenced by the convection of the ...

Abstract: Short pin-fin arrays are often used for cooling turbine airfoils, particularly near the trailing edge. An accurate heat transfer estimation from a pin-fin array should account for the total ...
