Abstract: The amount of cooling air assigned to seal high pressure (HP) turbine rim cavities is critical for performance as well as component life. Insufficient air leads to excessive hot annulus gas ingestion and its penetration ...

Abstract: In the past several years, the traditional fourth year “handsonâ€‌ requirement for engineering programs in the U.S. is being satisfied by what is now called the capstone senior design project (herein referred to as CSDP). ...

Abstract: A TOBI (tangential on board injection), or preswirl, system is a critical component of a high pressure turbine cooling delivery system. Its efficient performance and characterization are critical because the blade and disk ...

Abstract: This work focuses on the parametric study of film cooling effectiveness on the turbine vane endwall under various flow conditions. The experiments were performed in a five-vane annular sector cascade facility in a blowdown ...
