Book The Effects of Leading Edge and Downstream Film Cooling on Turbine Vane Heat Transfer

Download or read book The Effects of Leading Edge and Downstream Film Cooling on Turbine Vane Heat Transfer written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progress under contract NAS3-24619 toward the goal of establishing a relevant data base for use in improving the predictive design capabilities for external heat transfer to turbine vanes, including the effect of downstream film cooling with and without leading edge showerhead film cooling. Experimental measurements were made in a two-dimensional cascade previously used to obtain vane surface heat transfer distributions on nonfilm cooled airfoils under contract NAS3-22761 and leading edge showerhead film cooled airfoils under contract NAS3-23695. The principal independent parameters (Mach number, Reynolds number, turbulence, wall-to-gas temperature ratio, coolant-to-gas temperature ratio, and coolant-to-gas pressure ratio) were maintained over ranges consistent with actual engine conditions and the test matrix was structured to provide an assessment of the independent influence of parameters of interest, namely, exit Mach number, exit Reynolds number, coolant-to-gas temperature ratio, and coolant-to-gas pressure ratio. Data provide a data base for downstream film cooled turbine vanes and extends the data bases generated in the two previous studies. The vane external heat transfer obtained indicate that considerable cooling benefits can be achieved by utilizing downstream film cooling. The data obtained and presented illustrate the interaction of the variables and should provide the airfoil designer and computational analyst the information required to improve heat transfer design capabilities for film cooled turbine airfoils.

Book Suction Side Roughness Effects on Film Cooling Heat Transfer on a Turbine Vane

Download or read book Suction Side Roughness Effects on Film Cooling Heat Transfer on a Turbine Vane written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study was conducted in a simulated three vane linear cascade to determine the effects of surface roughness and film cooling on the heat transfer coefficient distribution in the region downstream of the first row of suction side coolant holes. Suction side film cooling was operated in the range 0 less than M less than 1.4. The showerhead was tested at M(sub sh) = 1.6. In addition to the completely smooth condition, simulated airfoil roughness was used upstream of the coolant holes, downstream of the coolant holes, and both upstream and downstream of the coolant holes. Two levels of mainstream turbulence intensity were tested. The heat transfer measurements were conducted by application of a uniform heat flux in the region downstream of the coolant holes. The resulting surface temperature distributions were measured with infrared thermography. Because the upstream region was unheated, the influence of film cooling on the heat transfer coefficient was due to only to hydrodynamic effects and not thermal effects. The coolant to mainstream density ratio of the majority of the experiments was unity; however, a single experiment was conducted at a density ratio of DR = 1.6 to determine how the coolant to mainstream density ratio affects heat transfer. Net heat flux reduction calculations were performed by combining the heat transfer coefficient measurements of the present study with adiabatic effectiveness measurements of a separate study. In order to gain insight into the hydrodynamics that affect the heat transfer, boundary layer measurements were conducted using hot-wire anemometry.

Book Film Cooling and End Wall Heat Transfer in Small Turbine Blade Passages

Download or read book Film Cooling and End Wall Heat Transfer in Small Turbine Blade Passages written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two topics have been studied related to the cooling of the end wall of a turbine passage. The first concerns the development of a method for measuring the adiabatic wall effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient of a film cooling system for protecting a surface from high heating derived from a hot compressible flow. The second concerns the measurement of the heat transfer rate distribution to a turbine cascade end wall in order to choose an appropriate film cooling system. These are related to providing the background to the final phase of the study in which the effectiveness of a film cooling system to cool a turbine end wall will be made combined with the measurement of the aerodynamic losses incurred by such a system.

Book Endwall Heat Transfer Measurements in a Transonic Turbine Cascade

Download or read book Endwall Heat Transfer Measurements in a Transonic Turbine Cascade written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbine blade endwall heat transfer measurements are given for a range of Reynolds and Mach numbers. Data were obtained for Reynolds numbers based on inlet conditions of 0.5 and 1.0 x 10(exp 6), for isentropic exit Mach numbers of 1.0 and 1.3, and for freestream turbulence intensities of 0.25% and 7.0%. Tests were conducted in a linear cascade at the NASA Lewis Transonic Turbine Blade Cascade Facility. The test article was a turbine rotor with 136 deg of turning and an axial chord of 12.7 cm. The large scale allowed for very detailed measurements of both flow field and surface phenomena. The intent of the work is to provide benchmark quality data for CFD code and model verification. The flow field in the cascade is highly three-dimensional as a result of thick boundary layers at the test section inlet. Endwall heat transfer data were obtained using a steady-state liquid crystal technique.

Book The Influence of Film Cooling and Inlet Temperature Profile on Heat Transfer for the Vane Row of a 1 1 2 Stage Transonic High pressure Turbine

Download or read book The Influence of Film Cooling and Inlet Temperature Profile on Heat Transfer for the Vane Row of a 1 1 2 Stage Transonic High pressure Turbine written by Harika Senem Kahveci and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The goal of this research was to establish an extensive database for typical engine hardware with a film-cooled first stage vane, which represents the foundation for future turbomachinery film cooling modeling and component heat transfer studies. Until this time, such a database was not available within the gas turbine industry. Accordingly, the study focuses on determination of the local heat flux for the airfoil and endwall surfaces of the vane row of a fully-cooled turbine stage. The measurements were performed at the Ohio State University Gas Turbine Laboratory using the Turbine Test Facility. The full-scale rotating 1 and 1/2 turbine stage is operated at the proper corrected engine design conditions: Flow Function (FF), corrected speed, stage Pressure Ratio (PR), and temperature ratios of gas to wall and gas to coolant. The primary measurements of temperature, pressure, and heat flux are repeated for different vane inlet temperature profiles and different vane cooling flows to establish an understanding of the influence of film cooling on local heat transfer. Double-sided Kapton heat-flux gauges are used for heat-flux measurements at different span locations along the airfoil surfaces and along the inner endwall. The cooling scheme consists of numerous cooling holes located on the endwalls, at the airfoil leading edge, on the airfoil pressure and suction surfaces, and at the trailing edge, resulting in a fully cooled first stage vane. The unique film-cooled endwall heat transfer data demonstrated in contour plots reveals insight to the complex flow behavior that is dominant in this region, which becomes even more complicated with the addition of coolant. Varying profile shapes resulted in significant heat transfer variations in a growing fashion towards the trailing edge region, which increased in magnitude when there is no coolant supply. The largest cooling effect is observed on 5% span pressure surface and at the inner endwall region. Heat transfer decreases from tip towards hub with addition of cooling. However, a similar decrease is not observed at the inner endwall region by doing so, which suggests excess coolant once beyond an optimum blowing ratio. Cooling flow rate and temperature profile shape affect the distributions on the airfoil surface very similarly, the latter observed more clearly at the endwall region. The vane outer cooling effect is comparable to the combined coolant effect at all surfaces, while no impact of purge flow is observed. Aligning the hot streaks with the vane leading edge lowered heat transfer compared to mid-passage alignment at the mid-span suction surface and through the endwall passage, and increased it at the endwall exit, while the pressure surface is found to be insensitive to this switch. Comparison with a previous research program with the un-cooled version of the vane gave good agreement on the pressure surface and at the endwall, but significantly lower heat transfer on the suction surface due to ingestion of the hot flow through the cooling holes when there is no cooling.
