Simulated Syngas Ash Deposition on the Leading Edge of a Turbine Vane with Film Cooling

In using coal derived syngas in a gas turbine, solid particulates coming out of the gasifier can prove to be detrimental to the engine hardware. Not much is known about particle deposition, erosion, and corrosion on turbine blades as a result of these contaminants. Performing deposition studies at...
