The Impact Of Heat Release In Turbine Film Cooling, Dave S. Evans
The Impact Of Heat Release In Turbine Film Cooling, Dave S. Evans
Theses and Dissertations
The Ultra Compact Combustor is a design that integrates a turbine vane into the combustor flow path. Because of the high fuel-to-air ratio and short combustor flow path, a significant potential exists for unburned fuel to enter the turbine. Using contemporary turbine cooling vane designs, the injection of oxygen-rich turbine cooling air into a combustor flow containing unburned fuel could result in heat release in the turbine and a large decrease in cooling effectiveness. The current study explores the interaction of cooling flow from typical cooling holes with the exhaust of a fuel-rich well-stirred-reactor operating at high temperatures over a …
Effects Of Liquid Transpiration Cooling On Heat Transfer To The Diverging Region Of A Porous-Walled Nozzle, Daniel J. Schieb
Effects Of Liquid Transpiration Cooling On Heat Transfer To The Diverging Region Of A Porous-Walled Nozzle, Daniel J. Schieb
Theses and Dissertations
This research effort investigated the effects of evaporation of water on the heat transferred to the wall of the diverging portion of a porous walled nozzle The AFIT High Pressure Shock Tube was used with a two-dimensional Mach 3 nozzle. One flat surface of the nozzle was fitted with a layer of porous stainless steel from the nozzle throat to the exit. This porous material was saturated with water to simulate liquid transpiration cooling. Surface temperature data was taken in this region using fast response coaxial thermocouple. Heat transfer was determined from the surface temperature history. Data was taken for …
