Preliminary Study On The Impact Of Impingement On The Effectiveness Of Film Cooling In The Presence Of Gas Path Pressure Gradient, Anil Peravali Jan 2006

Preliminary Study On The Impact Of Impingement On The Effectiveness Of Film Cooling In The Presence Of Gas Path Pressure Gradient, Anil Peravali

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Impingement is the most commonly used method of cooling in the hot stages of gas turbines. This is often combined with film cooling to further increase the cooling performance. The mainstream flow where in the coolant films discharge often has large stream wise pressure variations. All existing studies on coupled film and impingement cooling concentrated on the effect of the film depletion on the impingement heat transfer. This study investigates the impact of impingement on film cooling, where the jets impinging on a flat plate are depleted through arrays of film cooling holes in the presence of pressure gradient in …


Pulsed Vertical Jet In Cross Flow At Mean Blowing Ratios 0.35 And 0.45, Pierre-Emmanuel Jacques Joseph Bouladoux Jan 2006

Pulsed Vertical Jet In Cross Flow At Mean Blowing Ratios 0.35 And 0.45, Pierre-Emmanuel Jacques Joseph Bouladoux

LSU Master's Theses

This thesis deals with a pulsed vertical jet transverse to a cross flow (U=1.6m/s) at mean blowing ratios 0.35 and 0.45. First the reasons of this study are explained and the previous work in the field is described. Then the experimental setup, the experimental procedures and the data processing are detailed. The system (wind tunnel and jet) is characterized before studying the Jet in Cross Flow (JICF). The JICF is explored under unforced and forced conditions through LASER sheet visualizations and constant temperature anemometry (CTA) measurements using hot-wire sensors. Blowing ratios ranging from 0.150 to 0.600 are studied …
