Abstract: Tests on a specifically designed linear nozzle guide vane cascade with trailing edge coolant ejection were carried out to investigate the influence of trailing edge bleeding on both aerodynamic ...

Abstract: The present paper reports on the aerothermal performance of a nozzle vane cascade, with film-cooled end walls. The coolant is injected through four rows of cylindrical holes with conical expanded ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an investigation on inlet air cooling systems based on cool thermal storage, applied to combined cycle power plants. Such systems provide a significant increase ...

Abstract: The present paper investigates the effects of a fan-shaped hole endwall cooling geometry on the aero-thermal performance of a nozzle vane cascade. Two endwall cooling geometries with four rows ...

Abstract: The present paper investigates the effects of the application of trenched holes in the front part of a contoured film cooled endwall. Two trench configurations were tested, changing the trench ...

Abstract: The present paper investigates the effects of endwall injection of cooling flow on the aerodynamic performance of a nozzle vane cascade with endwall contouring. Tests have been performed on a ...
