Developing and Testing a Combustor Simulator For Investigating High Pressure Turbine Aerodynamics and Heat Transfer

Within a gas turbine engine, the turbine nozzle guide vanes are subjected to very harsh conditions from the highly turbulent and hot gases exiting the combustor. The temperature and pressure fields exiting combustors are highly nonuniform and dictate the heat transfer and aero losses that occur in t...
