Abstract: Air-film cooling has been widely employed to cool gas turbine hot components, such as combustor liners, combustor transition pieces, turbine vanes, and blades. Studies with flat surfaces show ...

Abstract: Effective cooling of gas turbine combustor liners, combustor transition pieces, turbine vanes (nozzles), and blades (buckets) is a critical task to protect these components from the flue gas at ...

Abstract: Sedimentation in a drain system has been recognized as one of the major causes of nuisance flooding produced by localized storms in Southeast Texas. The objective of the study is to assess the sediment load from runoff ...
