Internal Heat Transfer and External Effectiveness Measurements for a Novel Turbine Blade Cooling Design
Efficiency and power output of gas turbines improve with an increase in turbine inlet temperatures, and blade designers continually seek out new methods of increasing these temperatures. Increases in turbine inlet temperatures are achieved by utilizing a combination of internal convective cooling …

On the impact of variability and assembly on turbine blade cooling flow and oxidation life
The life of a turbine blade is dependent on the quantity and temperature of the cooling flow sup- plied to the blade. The focus of this thesis is the impact of variability on blade cooling flow and, subsequently, its impact on oxidation life. A probabilistic analysis is performed on a commercial …

Experimental evaluation and modeling of a turbine blade with potassium evaporative cooling
A new method of turbine blade cooling, the Return Flow Cascade, has been developed in which vaporization of a liquid metal such as potassium is used to maintain the blade surface at a nearly uniform temperature. Turbine blades cooled using this technology have lower blade temperature levels …
