An experimental study of film cooling, thermal barrier coatings and contaminant deposition on an internally cooled turbine airfoil model

Approximately 10% of all energy consumed in the United States is derived from high temperature gas turbine engines. As a result, a 1% increase in engine efficiency would yield enough energy to satisfy the demands of approximately 1 million homes and savings of over $800 million in fuel costs per ye...
