Analysis Of The Effects Of Wake Passage On Heat Transfer In A Linear Turbine Cascade, Kevin S. Allen
Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated the effect of wake passage on the heat transfer in a linear turbine cascade. The apparatus used was the Air-Force Institute of Technology linear Turbine Cascade Test Facility (TCTF). The TCTF was fitted with a be Pulley system to facilitate a series of translating bars. The bars, when passed d upstream of the cascade, created a series of wakes. The parameters varied were freestream model Reynolds number and bar conditions, i.e. , bars in, bars out, and bar passing frequency. One blade in the TCTF was instrumented to allow pressure and temperature measurements at discrete points on …

Wake Passage Effects On The Losses In A Linear Turbine Cascade, James A. Braunschneider
Theses and Dissertations
A linear turbine cascade was used to investigate the effects of wake passage due to stator-rotor interaction. The wakes were modeled by passing 1.98 mm (0.078 in) diameter bars upstream of a linear cascade blade row. Total pressure loss coefficients, mass averaged total pressure loss coefficients and velocities were used to characterize the effects of wake passage. Bar passing frequencies of 80, 160, 320 bars/sec were tested. These frequencies were tested, with the bars at 6.35 mm (0.25 in) intervals and at two Reynolds numbers, 341, 000 and 45,5000 Bar spacings of 12.7 mm (0.5 in), and 89 mm (3.5 …
