Abstract: Film cooling experiments have been conducted at conditions which realistically simulate the gas turbine environment. Heat transfer has been measured using a short duration wind tunnel. Mainstream ...

Abstract: A fast-response probe for the measurement of total temperature in unsteady or fluctuating compressible flows is discussed. The operation of the device is based on the measurement of transient ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the operation of a fast-response total temperature probe based on transient thin film heat flux gage technology. The probe utilizes two thin film gages located close to ...

Abstract: A new probe technique is introduced for the measurement of concentration in binary gas flows. The new technique is demonstrated through application of the probe in a Mach 4 nonreacting jet ...

Abstract: An important factor in the performance of brush seals for a wide range of gas turbine applications is the rate of wear at the seal to shaft interface, which is dependent on the contact ...

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 ...

Abstract: A color image processing system for liquid crystal heat transfer experiment has been developed. The system is capable of digitizing and processing the complete liquid crystal surface color (hue) ...

Abstract: A new method of processing the liquid crystal color change data obtained from transient heat transfer experiments is presented. The approach uses the full-intensity history recorded during an ...
