Experimental Study Of Central And Side Jet With And Without Chevron Nozzle Exit On Gas Turbine Leading Edge Jet Impingement Cooling, Ahmad Yousef Alqasrawi

Theses

This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into the application of jet impingement cooling on turbines blade leading edge. Gas turbines are extensively utilized in power generation and aerospace industries, where efficient cooling techniques are crucial to enhance the performance and lifespan of turbine blades. The leading edge of a turbine blade is particularly vulnerable to high-temperature exposure and thermal stresses, making it an essential area for effective cooling strategies. Jet impingement cooling is one of the most effective cooling techniques mostly used in the leading edge of rotating and stationary blades. This study aims to explore the performance of jet …
