Abstract: Technological advancement in the gas turbine field demands high temperature gases impacting on the turbine airfoils in order to increase the output power as well as thermal efficiency. The leading edge is one of the most ...

Abstract: Hot and harsh environments, sometimes experienced by gas turbine airfoils, can create undesirable effects such as clogging of the cooling holes. Clogging of the cooling holes along the trailing edge of an airfoil on the ...

Abstract: Local and average heat transfer coefficients were measured in a test section simulating a ribroughened trailing edge cooling cavity of a turbine airfoil. The test rig was made up of two adjacent channels, each with a ...
