Experimental investigation of film cooling and thermal barrier coatings on a gas turbine vane with conjugate heat transfer effects

In the United States, natural gas turbine generators account for approximately 7% of the total primary energy consumed. A one percent increase in gas turbine efficiency could result in savings of approximately 30 million dollars for operators and, subsequently, electricity end-users. The efficiency...
