In this study, the effects of bleed flow on heat/mass transfer in a rotating smooth square channel were investigated. The hydraulic diameter (Dh) of the channel was 40.0mm, and the diameter of the bleed holes (d) on the leading surface was 4.5mm. Tests were conducted under various bleed flow rates (0%, 10%, 20%) and rotation numbers (0, 0.2, 0.4), while the Reynolds number was fixed at 10,000. A naphthalene sublimation method was employed to determine the detailed heat transfer coefficients using a heat and mass transfer analogy. The results suggested heat/mass transfer characteristics in the internal cooling passage to be influenced by tripping flow as well as Coriolis force induced by bleed flow and channel rotation. In cases influenced by bleed flow, the heat/mass transfer on the leading surface was higher than that without bleed flow. The heat/mass transfer on the leading surface increased with the number of rotations to Ro=0.2, after which it decreased due to rotation effects.

The present study investigates the effects of bleed flow on heat/mass transfer and pressure drop in a rotating channel with transverse rib turbulators. The hydraulic diameter (Dh) of the square channel is 40.0mm. 20 bleed holes are midway between the rib turburators on the leading surface and the hole diameter (d) is 4.5mm. The square rib turbulators are installed on both leading and trailing surfaces. The rib-to-rib pitch (p) is 10.0 times of the rib height (e) and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e∕Dh) is 0.055. The tests were conducted at various rotation numbers (0, 0.2, 0.4), while the Reynolds number and the rate of bleed flow to main flow were fixed at 10,000 and 10%, respectively. A naphthalene sublimation method was employed to determine the detailed local heat transfer coefficients using the heat/mass transfer analogy. The results suggest that for a rotating ribbed passage with the bleed flow of BR=0.1, the heat/mass transfer on the leading surface is dominantly affected by rib turbulators and the secondary flow induced by rotation rather than bleed flow. The heat/mass transfer on the trailing surface decreases due to the diminution of main flow. The results also show that the friction factor decreases with bleed flow.

The present study investigates the effects of rib arrangements and aspect ratios of a rectangular duct simulating the cooling passage of a gas turbine blade. Two different V-shaped rib configurations are tested in a rectangular duct with the aspect ratios (W/H) of 3 to 6.82. One is the continuous V-shaped rib configuration with 60° attack angle, and the other is the discrete V-shaped rib configuration with 45° attack angle. The designed aspect ratio of the duct is obtained by changing the height with a fixed width of 150 mm. The square ribs (3 mm) with the pitch to height ratio of 10.0 are installed on the test section in a parallel arrangement for both rib configurations. Reynolds numbers based on the hydraulic diameter are changed from 10,000 to 30,000 in this study to investigate the variation of duct Reynolds number. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to measure local heat/mass transfer coefficients. For the continuous V-shaped rib configuration, two pairs of counter-rotating vortices are generated in a duct, and high transfer region is formed at the center of the ribbed walls of the duct. However, for the discrete V-shaped rib configuration with 45° attack angle, complex secondary flow patterns are generated in the duct due to its geometric feature, and more uniform heat/mass transfer distributions are obtained for all tested cases.

The detailed heat/mass transfer distributions in and around the sharp 180 degree turn of a three-pass square channel were determined by using the naphthalene sublimation technique. The top, bottom, inner (divider) and outer walls of the test channel were naphthalene plates. For the case of rib-roughened tests, the ribs of square cross section were glued periodically in-line on the top and bottom walls of the naphthalene channel in a required distribution. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratios (e/D) were 0.063 and 0.094, whereas the rib pitch-to-height ratios (P/e) were 10 and 20, respectively. The channel Reynolds numbers varied from 30,000 to 60,000. The results showed that, for both the smooth and the ribbed channels, the Sherwood numbers after the sharp 180 degree turn were higher than that before the sharp 180 degree turn; after the turn the Sherwood numbers of the inner wall were higher than that of the outer wall. The results also indicated that the Sherwood numbers on the top, outer and inner walls of the rib roughened channel were higher than that of the smooth channel.

Naphthalene sublimation technique and the heat/mass transfer analogy are used to determine the detailed local heat/mass transfer distributions on the leading and trailing walls of a twopass square channel with smooth walls that rotates about a perpendicular axis. Since the variation of density is small in the flow through the channel, buoyancy effect is negligible. Results show that, in both the stationary and rotating channel cases, very large spanwise variations of the mass transfer exist in he turn and in the region immediately downstream of the turn in the second straight pass. In the first straight pass, the rotation-induced Coriolis forces reduce the mass transfer on the leading wall and increase the mass transfer on the trailing wall. In the turn, rotation significantly increases the mass transfer on the leading wall, especially in the upstream half of the turn. Rotation also increases the mass transfer on the trailing wall, more in the downstream half of the turn than in the upstream half of the turn. Immediately downstream of the turn, rotation causes the mass transfer to be much higher on the trailing wall near the downstream corner of the tip of the inner wall than on the opposite leading wall. The mass transfer in the second pass is higher on the leading wall than on the trailing wall. A slower flow causes higher mass transfer enhancement in the turn on both the leading and trailing walls.

The paper presents an experimental study of heat/mass transfer coefficient in 4:1 aspect ratio rectangular channel with smooth or ribbed walls for Reynolds number in the range of 5,000 to 30,000, rotation numbers in the range of 0–0.12 and for two different orientations of the test-section (90-degree and 45-degree relative to the plane of rotation). Such passages are encountered close to the trailing sections of the turbine blade. Inline normal tips (e/Dh = 0.15625 and p/e = 11.2) are used and placed on the leading and the trailing sides. The experiments are conducted in a rotating two-pass coolant channel facility using the naphthalene sublimation technique. It is observed that for the 45-degree orientation of the test-section, all the walls show an increase in the heat transfer with rotation as opposed to the 90-degree orientation where the stabilized wall shows reduction and the destabilized wall shows enhancement. The spanwise mass transfer distributions in the smooth and the ribbed cases are also presented, and show significant variations in the spanwise direction for the smooth channel.

The present paper has investigated the effects of fin on the flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics for the impingement/effusion cooling with crossflow. The fins of circular or rectangular shape are installed between two perforated plates and the crossflow passes between these two plates. The blowing ratio is changed from 0.5 to 1.5 for a fixed jet Reynolds number of 10,000. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to obtain the local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the effusion plate. A numerical calculation is also performed to investigate the flow characteristics. Flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics are changed significantly due to installation of fins. In the injection region, wall jet spreads more widely than the case without fins because fin prevents the wall jet from being swept away by the crossflow. In the effusion region, higher heat/mass transfer coefficient is obtained due to the flow disturbance and acceleration by the fin. As the blowing ratio increases, the effects of fin against the crossflow become more significant and then the higher average heat/mass transfer coefficients are obtained. Especially, the cases with rectangular fins have about 40%∼45% enhancement at the high blowing ratio of M = 1.5. However, the increase of blockage effect gives more pressure loss in the channel.

The heat transfer characteristics of turbulent air flow in a two-pass channel were studied via the naphthalene sublimation technique. The test section, which consisted of two straight, square channels joined by a sharp 180 deg turn, resembled the internal cooling passages of gas turbine airfoils. The top and bottom surfaces of the test channel were roughened by rib turbulators. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/D) was 0.063 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio (P/e) was 10. The local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the roughened top wall, and on the smooth divider and side walls of the test channel, were determined for three Reynolds numbers of 15,000, 30,000, and 60,000, and for three angles of attack (α) of 90, 60, and 45 deg. The results showed that the local Sherwood numbers on the ribbed walls were 1.5 to 6.5 times those for a fully developed flow in a smooth square duct. The average ribbed-wall Sherwood numbers were 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than the fully developed values, depending on the rib angle-of-attack and the Reynolds number. The results also indicated that, before the turn, the heat/mass transfer coefficients in the cases of α = 60 and 45 deg were higher than those in the case of α = 90 deg. However, after the turn, the heat/mass transfer coefficients in the oblique-rib cases were lower than those in the traverse-rib case. Correlations for the average Sherwood number ratios for individual channel surfaces and for the overall Sherwood number ratios are reported.

Pin-fins have been used to enhance the heat transfer near the trailing edge of a turbine airfoil. Previous pin-fin heat transfer studies focused mainly on the array geometry of pin height-to-diameter equal to unity in a stationary frame. This study experimentally examines the effects of pin height-to-diameter ratio (Hp/Dp) from 2 to 4 and rotation number (Ro) from 0 to 0.2. The tested model used a staggered pin-fin array with an inter-pin spacing of 2.5 times the pin-diameter (S/D = 2.5) in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Detailed heat/mass transfer coefficients were measured using the naphthalene sublimation technique with a heat-mass transfer analogy. The data measured suggest that an increase in Hp/Dp increases the level of array heat/mass transfer. Array averaged Sherwood numbers for Hp/Dp = 3 and Hp/Dp = 4 are approximately 10% and 35% higher than that of Hp/Dp = 2. The effect of rotation induces notable difference in heat/mass transfer between the leading surface and the trailing surface. The heat transfer coefficients change a little although the rotating number increases in the tested range because the pin-fins break the rotation-induced vortices.

This study is to examine experimentally the effects of pin inclination and pin height-to-diameter ratio on the heat/mass transfer characteristics in a pin-fin channel with and without rotation. The test model consists of staggered pin-fin arrays with an inter-pin spacing of 2.5 times of the pin-diameter (S/D = 2.5) in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Detailed local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the two principal surfaces of rotating channel are measured using the naphthalene sublimation technique. The inclined angles (θ) studied are 60° and 90°. The pin height-to-diameter ratio (Hp/Dp) ranges from 2 to 4. The Reynolds number is fixed at 7.0 × 103 with two Rotation numbers (0.0 and 0.2). The measured data show that the overall array heat/mass transfer decreases with the angle of inclination relative to the vertical orientation. The overall array averaged as well as the row-resolved heat/mass transfer increases with an increase in Hp/Dp. Rotation generally results in higher heat/mass transfer than the corresponding stationary case. The non-uniformity or redistribution of heat/mass transfer induced by the Coriolis force generally perceived in a ribbed or smooth channel is less evident in a pin-fin channel.
