Abstract: In a steam turbine system, one of the main factors limiting the operational flexibility is the thermal stress associated with a high-temperature gradient within the control valves, which often leads to structural damage ...

Abstract: The viewing angle for optical aerothermal measurements on turbine surfaces is often limited by the turbine structure, requiring the optical system to have a large depth of field (DoF). Although the DoF can be increased by ...

Abstract: Practical strategy for the thermal evaluation of film-cooled blade is of great importance to the gas turbine community. Due to the physical or methodology limitations, it is difficult to evaluate the blade’s thermal ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the influence of mainstream oscillations on spatio-temporal variation of leading-edge film cooling effectiveness. The investigation utilized fast-response pressure-sensitive ...
