Average heat-transfer characteristics of a row of circular air jets impinging on a concave surface

A study of the average heat-transfer characteristics of air jets impinging on the concave side of a right-circular semicylinder is reported. Results from existing correlating are compared with each other and with experimental heat-transfer data for a row of circular jets. Two correlations available in the literature are recommended for use in designing cooled turbine vanes and blades.

Engine investigation of an air-cooled turbine rotor blade incorporating impingement-cooled leading edge, chordwise passages, and a slotted trailing edge

Experimental temperatures are presented for an air-cooled turbine rotor blade tested in an engine. The data were obtained for turbine stator inlet temperatures from 2000 to 2500 F and for turbine-inlet gas pressures from 32 to 46 psia. Average and local blade heat-transfer data are correlated. Potential allowable increases in gas temperature are also discussed.

Experimental heat transfer and flow results of a chordwise-finned turbine vane with impingement, film, and convection cooling

Experimental heat transfer data are presented for a vane tested in a turbojet engine at turbine inlet gas temperatures to 1644 K (2500 F), coolant temperatures to 700 K (800 F), and coolant-to-gas flow ratios to 0.187. Methods are presented for correlating heat transfer data and obtaining coolant flow distribution through the vane. Calculated and measured coolant flow distributions and vane metal temperatures are compared.

Flow characteristics of an air jet impinging on a flat surface

Survey develops adequate heat transfer correlations for design use. Flow characteristics studies include - potential core length, velocity and pressure distribution through the jet, and spread of jet and velocity decay along jet axis.
