Internal Heat Transfer and External Effectiveness Measurements for a Novel Turbine Blade Cooling Design

Efficiency and power output of gas turbines improve with an increase in turbine inlet temperatures, and blade designers continually seek out new methods of increasing these temperatures. Increases in turbine inlet temperatures are achieved by utilizing a combination of internal convective cooling an...
