Detailed Heat Transfer Measurements of Various Rib Turbulator Shapes at Very High Reynolds Numbers Using Steady-state Liquid Crystal Thermography

In order to protect gas turbine blades from hot gases exiting the combustor, several intricate external and internal cooling concepts are employed. High pressure stage gas turbine blades feature serpentine passages where rib turbulators are installed to enhance heat transfer between the relatively c...
