Book Description
Gas turbines are used around the world to provide thrust for airplanes and to generate electricity. Designers and operators are constantly chasing higher thermal efficiency, and even an incremental increase is considered an achievement. Higher thermal efficiency begets higher turbine inlet temperatures, and the parts that are exposed to these temperatures require sophisticated cooling technologies. One such cooling method is shaped film cooling, which ejects low momentum coolant with the goal of it staying attached to the wall, spreading laterally, and providing a lower driving temperature for convection.In some film cooling manufacturing processes, the meter and diffuser are created in separate steps with separate machines, and an offset can occur in that process. A study was designed to quantify the change in adiabatic effectiveness for five offset directions: fore, fore-left, left, aft-left, and aft. All offset directions caused a detriment to film cooling performance, except for the fore offset, which improved adiabatic effectiveness relative to a no offset case. CFD helped show that the fore offset created a separation in the region of the film cooling metering section where jetting occurs, which decreased the high momentum and made the cooling jet more likely to remain attached to the surface. This study resulted in a patent.A large range of area ratios and blowing ratios were examined in a study designed to isolate the effect of area ratio by lengthening the diffuser of a shaped hole. Very high area ratios were generated that resulted in significant cooling potential. It was shown that at each area ratio there is an optimal blowing ratio beyond which the effectiveness will decrease or plateau. This was reduced to an optimal effective blowing ratio, M/AR, which was shown through CFD to be the condition when the coolant jet core has similar velocity magnitude to the mainstream flow. This results in a weak shear layer and a weak counter-rotating vortex pair.In an axially oriented hole, the mainstream flows over the top of a cooling jet and around the sides, in equal measure, creating a symmetric flowfield. In a compound angled shaped hole, the mainstream flows primarily around the leeward side, creating a strong shear layer and an asymmetric streamwise vortex. Compound angled shaped holes are used commonly in gas turbines, but there has been no work examining the adiabatic effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient augmentation at a range of compound angles, and there are no flowfield measurements. A comprehensive study of the flowfield, cooling effectiveness, and heat transfer coefficient were obtained for compound angled shaped holes for compound angles ranging from 0-60 in 15 increments. It is shown that asymmetry and vorticity magnitude increase with increasing compound angle and increasing blowing ratio. Holes with high compound angles can maintain jet attachment at high blowing ratios because the streamwise component of blowing ratio is reduced, which leads to high effectiveness. The most important contribution of this work was showing that the streamwise vortex increases heat transfer coefficient in a region adjacent to the jet, where very little coolant coverage exists. For this reason, compound angled shaped holes can cause local regions of increased heat flux relative to an uncooled surface, which may be an issue for some designs if not properly accounted for. Heat transfer coefficient augmentation increases as compound angle and blowing ratio increase. Designs that promote jet interaction, such as holes with a smaller pitchwise spacing or holes with significant lateral motion, cover the entire endwall in coolant and lessen the negative effects of high heat transfer coefficient augmentation.

Book Description
A comprehensive reference for engineers and researchers, Gas Turbine Heat Transfer and Cooling Technology, Second Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect advances in the field made during the past ten years. The second edition retains the format that made the first edition so popular and adds new information mainly based on selected published papers in the open literature. See What’s New in the Second Edition: State-of-the-art cooling technologies such as advanced turbine blade film cooling and internal cooling Modern experimental methods for gas turbine heat transfer and cooling research Advanced computational models for gas turbine heat transfer and cooling performance predictions Suggestions for future research in this critical technology The book discusses the need for turbine cooling, gas turbine heat-transfer problems, and cooling methodology and covers turbine rotor and stator heat-transfer issues, including endwall and blade tip regions under engine conditions, as well as under simulated engine conditions. It then examines turbine rotor and stator blade film cooling and discusses the unsteady high free-stream turbulence effect on simulated cascade airfoils. From here, the book explores impingement cooling, rib-turbulent cooling, pin-fin cooling, and compound and new cooling techniques. It also highlights the effect of rotation on rotor coolant passage heat transfer. Coverage of experimental methods includes heat-transfer and mass-transfer techniques, liquid crystal thermography, optical techniques, as well as flow and thermal measurement techniques. The book concludes with discussions of governing equations and turbulence models and their applications for predicting turbine blade heat transfer and film cooling, and turbine blade internal cooling.

Book Description
The existing 3-stage turbine research facility at the Turbomachinery Performance and Flow Research Laboratory (TPFL), Texas A and M University, is re-designed and newly installed to enable coolant gas injection on the first stage rotor platform to study the effects of rotation on film cooling and heat transfer. Pressure and temperature sensitive paint techniques are used to measure film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer on the rotor platform respectively. Experiments are conducted at three turbine rotational speeds namely, 2400rpm, 2550rpm and 3000rpm. Interstage aerodynamic measurements with miniature five hole probes are also acquired at these speeds. The aerodynamic data characterizes the flow along the first stage rotor exit, second stage stator exit and second stage rotor exit. For each rotor speed, film cooling effectiveness is determined on the first stage rotor platform for upstream stator-rotor gap ejection, downstream discrete hole ejection and a combination of upstream gap and downstream hole ejection. Upstream coolant ejection experiments are conducted for coolant to mainstream mass flow ratios of MFR=0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% and downstream discrete hole injection tests corresponding to average hole blowing ratios of M = 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and 2.0 for each turbine speed. To provide a complete picture of hub cooling under rotating conditions, experiments with simultaneous injection of coolant gas through upstream and downstream injection are conducted for an of MFR=1% and Mholes=0.75, 1.0 and 1.25 for the three turbine speeds. Heat transfer coefficients are determined on the rotor platform for similar upstream and downstream coolant injection. Rotation is found to significantly affect the distribution of coolant on the platform. The measured effectiveness magnitudes are lower than that obtained with numerical simulations. Coolant streams from both upstream and downstream injection orient themselves towards the blade suction side. Passage vortex cuts-off the coolant film for the lower MFR for upstream injection. As the MFR increases, the passage vortex effects are diminished. Effectiveness was maximum when Mholes was closer to one as the coolant ejection velocity is approximately equal to the mainstream relative velocity for this blowing ratio. Heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness increase with increasing rotational speed for upstream rotor stator gap injection while for downstream hole injection the maximum effectiveness and heat transfer coefficients occur at the reference speed of 2550rpm.
