This book was released on 2011 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies have been published on the subject of film cooling, but because of the difficulty and expense of simulating turbine realistic conditions, many authors introduce vast simplifications such as low speed conditions or linear cascades. These simplifications do not adequately represent the behavior of a turbine and therefore their results are of limited use. This study attempts to eliminate many of those simplifications.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Gas turbines are a major contributor to world power generation with applications ranging from electricity production to aircrafts propulsion. Their efficiency is subject to continuous research. A gas turbine's overall efficiency is directly proportional to flow inlet temperature. Various methods are implemented to protect hot gas path components from mainstream flow well above their melting temperature, namely, heat resistant coatings, internal cooling and film cooling. The latter is the subject of this work. A 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is solved using ANSYS CFX software and compared to experimental measurements of film cooled transonic vane cascade operating at a Mach number of 0.89; the experimental data used for validation is provided by Heat and Power Technology Department of the Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Hogskolan, KTH) of Stockholm, Sweden. A new approach was used to model the film cooling holes, omitting the need to model both the coolant plenum and cooling tubes, resulting in 180% reduction in grid size and attributed computational cost interpreted in 300% saving in computation time. The new approach was validated on a basic flow problem (flat plate film cooling) and was found to give good agreement with experimental measurements of velocity and temperature at a blowing ratio (BR) of 1 and 2; the experimental data for the flat plate was provided by NASA's Glenn Research Center. The numerical simulation of the cooled vane cascade was compared to experimental measurements for different cooling configurations and different BRs. a) One row on pressure side at BR = 0.8, 0.96 and 2.5. b) Two rows on suction side (location 1) at BR = 0.8, 1.4 and 2.5. c) Two rows on suction side (location 2) at BR = 0.8. And d) Showerhead cooled vane at BR ranges between 1.98 and 5.84. The coolant was applied at the same temperature as the mainstream, to match experimental conditions. A good agreement with the experimental measurements was obtained for exit flow angle, vorticity downstream of the vane, pressure coefficients and aerodynamic loss. The proposed approach of coolant injection modeling is shown to yield reliable results, within the uncertainty of the measurements in most cases. Along with lower computational cost compared to conventional film cooling modeling approach, the new approach is recommended for further analysis for aero and thermal vane cascade flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this experiment, measurements of the overall cooling effectiveness for a film cooled turbine vane airfoil in a high-speed cascade were obtained using infrared thermography. The vane used was the NASA C3X with impingement holes (showerhead cooling) and convective cooling holes on both the suction and pressure side. This work was done in the Mechanical Engineering Department's Experimental and Computational Convection Lab and used the high-speed cascade capability of the lab. The rationale for conducting this work was to obtain experimental data on film cooling effectiveness in a turbine vane in engine-like conditions at transonic speeds. Previous work has been done at subsonic speeds, but few pieces of literature examine this parameter at transonic speeds. The data can then be used to validate or compare to CFD models and to better understand what happens to the vane temperature distribution during engine operation. This understanding could inform the design of film cooling holes to reduce thermal strain "hot spots" which lead to failure of the vane. The results showed that trends for values of overall film effectiveness were as expected in this experiment, such as increases in blowing ratio correlating to increases in overall film effectiveness. However, the blowing ratios used in this study were not as high as values studied previously, indicating a need for more data on overall film effectiveness at transonic speeds.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film cooling is investigated on a flat plate both numerically and experimentally. Conical shaped film hole are investigated extensively and contribute to the current literature data, which is extremely rare in the open public domain. Both configuration of the cylindrical film holes, with and without a trench, are investigated in detail. Design of experiment technique was performed to find an optimum combination of both geometrical and fluid parameters to achieve the best film cooling performance. From this part of the study, it shows that film cooling performance can be enhanced up to 250% with the trenched film cooling versus non-trenched case provided the same amount of coolant. Since most of the relevant open literature is about film cooling on flat plate endwall cascade with linear extrusion airfoil, the purpose of the second part of this study is to examine the interaction of the secondary flow inside a 3D cascade and the injected film cooling jets. This is employed on the first stage of the aircraft gas turbine engine to protect the curvilinear (annular) endwall platform. The current study investigates the interaction between injected film jets and the secondary flow both experimentally and numerically at high Mach number (M=0.7). Validation shows good agreement between obtained data with the open literature. In general, it can be concluded that with an appropriate film coolant to mainstream blowing ratio, one can not only achieve the best film cooling effectiveness (FCE or [eta]) on the downstream endwall but also maintain almost the same aerodynamic loss as in the un-cooled baseline case. Film performance acts nonlinearly with respect to blowing ratios as with film cooling on flat plate, in the other hand, with a right blowing ratio, film cooling performance is not affect much by secondary flow. In turn, film cooling jets do not increase pressure loss at the downstream wake area of the blades.
