Abstract: This paper describes a method that allows the effect of film cooling on the capacity of a turbine to be computed. The model is based on fundamental cooling performance parameters and is ...

Abstract: A new experimental technique for the accurate measurement of steady-state metal temperature surface distributions of modern heavily film-cooled turbine vanes has been developed and is described ...

Abstract: Nozzle guide vane (NGV) flow capacity is perhaps the most important parameter for engine optimization. Inaccurate evaluation of capacity would lead to incorrect performance evaluation, and unmatched ...

Abstract: An advanced technique for establishing pressure boundary conditions in annular sector cascade experiments has been developed. This novel technique represents an improvement over previous methods ...

Abstract: Pronounced nonuniformities in combustor exit flow temperature (hot-streaks), which arise because of discrete injection of fuel and dilution air jets within the combustor and because of endwall ...
