The effect of channel rotation on jet impingement cooling by arrays of circular jets in two channels was studied. Jet flow direction was in the direction of rotation in one channel and opposite to the rotation direction in the other channel. The jets impinged normally on two smooth target walls. Heat transfer results are presented for these two target walls, for the jet walls containing the jet producing orifices, and for side walls, connecting the target and jet walls. The flow exited the channels in a single direction, radially outward, creating a crossflow on jets at larger radii. The mean test model radius-to-jet diameter ratio was 397. The jet rotation number was varied from 0.0 to 0.0028 and the isolated effects of jet Reynolds number (5000 and 10,000), and wall-to-coolant temperature difference ratio (0.0855 and 0.129) were measured. The results for nonrotating conditions show that the Nusselt numbers for the target and jet walls in both channels are about the same and are greater than those for the side walls of both channels. However, as rotation number increases, the heat transfer coefficients for all walls in both channels decrease up to 20 percent below those results that correspond to nonrotating conditions. As the wall-to-coolant temperature difference ratio increases, heat transfer coefficient decreases up to 10 percent with other parameters held constant.

Internal convective cooling is used to maintain acceptable gas turbine rotor blade temperatures. The heat transfer from the blade coolant passage walls is governed by forced convection, Coriolis forces and buoyance due to wall and coolant temperature differences. Currently little data is available to designers regarding the combined effects of these three parameters. To obtain required data, a rotating heat transfer facility was developed for experiments with large scale models and run at rotation and flow parameters typical of current gas turbine operating conditions. Analysis of the equations of motion showed that the perinent nondimensional parameters were Reynolds number, Rossby number, the difference in wall fluid and bulk fluid density and geometric ratios. The models were instrumented to measure average heat transfer rates on the coolant passage wall elements, and with pressure taps for friction data. An initial set of experiments have been conducted with rough wall geometries, typical of those used in blades. Results from the rotating experiments showed large heat transfer coefficient increases and decreases on the coolant passage leading and trailing surfaces compared to nonrotating heat transfer coefficients. The heat transfer was shown to be a function of inward or outward flow direction and Rossby number for the experiments conducted.

The Matrix

In the present paper the combined effects of rotation and channel orientation on heat transfer and pressure drop along two scaled up matrix geometries suitable for trailing edge cooling of gas turbine airfoils are investigated. Experimental tests were carried out under static and rotating conditions. Rotating tests were performed for two different orientations of the matrix channel with respect to the rotating plane: 0deg and 30deg. This latter configuration is representative of the exit angle of a real gas turbine blade. Test models are designed in order to replicate an internal geometry suitable for blade trailing edge cooling, with a 90deg turning flow before entering the matrix array which has an axial development. Both the investigated geometries have a cross angle of 45deg between ribs and different values of sub-channels and rib thickness: one has four sub-channels and lower rib thickness (open area 84.5%), one has six sub-channels and higher rib thickness (open area 53.5%). Both geometries have a converging angle of 11.4deg. Matrix models have been axially divided in 5 aluminum elements per side in order to evaluate the heat transfer coefficient in 5 different locations in the main flow direction. Metal temperature was measured with embedded thermocouples and thin-foil heaters were used to provide a constant heat flux during each test. Heat transfer coefficients were measured applying a steady state technique based on a regional average method and varying the sub-channel Reynolds number Res from 2000 to 10000 and the sub-channel Rotation number Ros from 0 to 0.250 in order to have both Reynolds and Rotation number similitude with the real conditions. A post-processing procedure, which takes into account the temperature gradients within the model, was developed to correctly compute average heat transfer coefficients starting from discrete temperature measurements.

The effect of rotation on leading edge jet impingement is experimentally investigated in this study. Cooling air travels radially outward through a square supply channel, turns 90° into a cross-over hole, and impinges on a semi-circular surface. To eliminate the effect of jet cross-flow, regionally averaged heat transfer coefficients are measured on the surface surrounding a single jet. The heat transfer performance of a round jet is compared to that afforded by a 2:1 racetrack shaped jet. Two jet Reynolds numbers were investigated, Rejet = 15,000 and Rejet = 25,000. This, in addition to a varying rotational speed, allows for the consideration of rotation numbers varying from 0.0–0.076 (based on the jet velocity and jet hydraulic diameter). The results obtained are benchmarked against stationary results to highlight enhancement due to rotation. It is shown that as the rotation number increases, the heat transfer is enhanced on all regions of the semi-circular target surface. For rotation numbers of less than 0.030, enhancement due to rotation is marginal. Once rotation numbers breach this value, heat transfer begins to increase significantly on all surfaces. Additionally, it was shown that a racetrack shaped jet consistently out performs a round jet at an equivalent rotation number. The racetrack jet offers better and more consistent coverage of the leading edge surface, yielding higher average heat transfer enhancement.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of rotation on local heat transfer coefficient for the turbulent flow in a short square duct (L/DH = 15) with a pair of opposite rib-roughened walls. The ribs are configured in an in-line arrangement with an attack angle of 90 deg to the main flow. The coolant used was air with the flow direction in the radially outward direction. The Reynolds numbers ranged from 5000 to 25,000; the rib pitch-to-height ratio was 5; and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio was kept at a value of 0.20. The rotation number range was 0 to 0.5. Local Nusselt number variations along the duct were determined over the trailing and leading surfaces. In addition, local heat transfer measurements on all sides of a typical rib as well as on a typical exposed base surface between two consecutive ribs in a fully developed region were conducted at various rotational speeds. It is shown that the Coriolis acceleration tends to improve the heat transfer due to the presence of strong secondary flow. Centripetal buoyancy is shown to influence the heat transfer response with heat transfer being suppressed on both leading and trailing surfaces as the wall-to-coolant temperature difference is increased with other controlling parameters hold constant. Results are also compared with previous investigations. It was found that the results agree very well with those reported by other works in this field.

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of buoyancy and Coriolis forces on heat transfer in turbine blade internal coolant passages. The experiments were conducted with a large-scale, multipass, heat transfer model with both radially inward and outward flow. Trip strips on the leading and trailing surfaces of the radial coolant passages were used to produce the rough walls. An analysis of the governing flow equations showed that four parameters influence the heat transfer in rotating passages: coolant-to-wall temperature ratio, Rossby number, Reynolds number, and radius-to-passage hydraulic diameter ratio. The first three of these four parameters were varied over ranges that are typical of advanced gas turbine engine operating conditions. Results were correlated and compared to previous results from stationary and rotating similar models with trip strips. The heat transfer coefficients on surfaces, where the heat transfer increased with rotation and buoyancy, varied by as much as a factor of four. Maximum values of the heat transfer coefficients with high rotation were only slightly above the highest levels obtained with the smooth wall model. The heat transfer coefficients on surfaces where the heat transfer decreased with rotation, varied by as much as a factor of three due to rotation and buoyancy. It was concluded that both Coriolis and buoyancy effects must be considered in turbine blade cooling designs with trip strips and that the effects of rotation were markedly different depending upon the flow direction.

Blade Tip

A comprehensive investigation of the effect of various tip sealing geometries is presented on the blade tip leakage flow and associated heat transfer of a scaled up HPT turbine blade in a low-speed wind tunnel facility. The linear cascade is made of four blades with the two corner blades acting as guides. The tip section of a HPT first stage rotor blade is used to fabricate the 2-D blade. The wind tunnel accommodates an 116° turn for the blade cascade. The mainstream Reynolds number based on the axial chord length at cascade exit is 4.83 × 105. The upstream wake effect is simulated with a spoked wheel wake generator placed upstream of the cascade. A turbulence grid placed even farther upstream generates the required free-stream turbulence of 4.8%. The center blade has a tip clearance gap of 1.5625% with respect to the blade span. Static pressure measurements are obtained on the blade surface and the shroud. The effect of crosswise trip strips to reduce leakage flow and associated heat transfer is investigated with strips placed along the leakage flow direction, against the leakage flow and along the chord. Cylindrical pin fins and pitch variation of strips over the tip surface are also investigated. Detailed heat transfer measurements are obtained using a steady state HSI-based liquid crystal technique. The effect of periodic unsteady wake effect is also investigated by varying the wake Strouhal number from 0. to 0.2, and to 0.4. Results show that the trip strips placed against the leakage flow produce the lowest heat transfer on the tips compared to all the other cases with a reduction between 10–15% compared to the plain tip. Results also show that the pitch of the strips has a small effect on the overall reduction. Cylindrical pins fins and strips along the leakage flow direction do not decrease the heat transfer coefficients and in some cases enhance the heat transfer coefficients by as much as 20%.

Experiments were performed in a flat rectangular duct to determine the heat transfer and pressure drop response to periodic, rod-type disturbance elements situated adjacent to one principal wall and oriented transverse to the flow direction. In a portion of the experiments, heat transfer occurred only at the rodded wall, while in the remainder, heat was transferred at both principal walls of the duct. Highly detailed axial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were obtained. These distributions revealed the rapid establishment of a periodic (i.e., cyclic) fully developed regime as well as recurring local maxima and minima. Cycle-average, fully developed heat transfer coefficients were evaluated and were found to be much larger than those for a smooth-walled duct. Linear pressure distributions were measured between periodically positioned stations in the fully developed region, and the corresponding friction factors were several times greater than the smooth-duct values. The heat transfer and friction data were very well correlated using parameters that take account of the effective surface roughness associated with the disturbance rods.

In this paper a transient method for measuring heat transfer coefficients in internal cooling systems using infrared thermography is applied. The experiments are performed with a two-pass internal cooling channel connected by a 180° bend. The leading edge and the trailing edge consist of trapezoidal and nearly rectangular cross sections, respectively, to achieve an engine-similar configuration. Within the channels rib arrangements are considered for heat transfer enhancement. The test model is made of metallic material. During the experiment the cooling channels are heated by the internal flow. The surface temperature response of the cooling channel walls is measured on the outer surface by infrared thermography. Additionally, fluid temperatures as well as fluid and solid properties are determined for the data analysis. The method for determining the distribution of internal heat transfer coefficients is based on a lumped capacitance approach which considers lateral conduction in the cooling system walls as well as natural convection and radiation heat transfer on the outer surface. Because of time-dependent effects a sensitivity analysis is performed to identify optimal time periods for data analysis. Results are compared with available literature data.

Channel Orientation

This paper presents experimental heat transfer results in a two-pass square channel with smooth and ribbed surfaces. The ribs are placed in a staggered half-V fashion with the rotation orthogonal to the channel axis. The channel orientation varies with respect to the rotation plane. A change in the channel orientation about the rotating frame causes a change in the secondary flow structure and associated flow and turbulence distribution. Consequently, the heat transfer coefficient from the individual surfaces of the two-pass square channel changes. The effects of rotation number on local Nusselt number ratio distributions are presented. Heat transfer coefficients with ribbed surfaces show different characteristics in rotation number dependency from those with smooth surfaces. Results show that staggered half-V ribs mostly have higher heat transfer coefficients than those with 90 and 60 deg continuous ribs.
