Measurements and Predictions of Heat Transfer for a First Vane Design

Turbine manufacturers continually seek to gain efficiency by increasing operating temperatures well above the maximum temperature of component alloys. This increase in temperature must be accounted for in the cooling of components by examining the heat transfer from these crucial components. This...
