The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Results of an experimental investigation of film cooling and heat transfer following injection through two staggered rows of holes are reported. The two staggered rows are considerably more effective in protecting the wall than a single row. The film cooling effectiveness at locations beyond about 30-hole dia downstream of injection is laterally uniform. The heat transfer coefficient is within a few percent of that without injection at low blowing rates, but it increases rapidly as the blowing rate increases above unity.

Heat transfer of the counter-inclined cylindrical and laid-back holes with and without impingement on the turbine vane leading edge model are investigated in this paper. To obtain the film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient, transient temperature measurement technique on complete surface based on double thermochromic liquid crystals is used in this research. A semi-cylinder model is used to model the vane leading edge which is arranged with two rows of holes. Four test models are measured under four blowing ratios including cylindrical film holes with and without impingement tube structure, laid-back film holes with and without impingement tube structure. This is the second part of a two-part paper, the first part paper GT2018-76061 focuses on film cooling effectiveness and this study will focus on heat transfer. Contours of surface heat transfer coefficient and laterally averaged result are presented in this paper. The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of the leading edge is enhanced with the increase of blowing ratio for same structure. The shape of the high heat transfer coefficient region gradually inclines to span-wise direction as the blowing ratio increases. Heat transfer coefficient in the region where the jet core flows through is relatively lower, while in the jet edge region the heat transfer coefficient is relatively higher. Compared with cylindrical hole, laid-back holes give higher heat transfer coefficient. Meanwhile, the introduction of impingement also makes heat transfer coefficient higher compared with cross flow air intake. It is found that the heat transfer of the combination of laid-back hole and impingement tube can be very high under large blowing ratio which should get attention in the design process.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Cooling at the trailing edge of a gas turbine airfoil is one of the most difficult problems because of its thin shape, high thermal load from both surfaces, hard-to-cool geometry of narrow passages, and at the same time demand for structural strength. In this study, the heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness on the pressure-side cutback surface was measured by a transient infrared thermography method. Four different cutback geometries were examined: two smooth cutback surfaces with constant-width and converging lands (base and diffuser cases) and two roughened cutback surfaces with transverse ribs and spherical dimples. The Reynolds number of the main flow defined by the mean velocity and two times the channel height was 20,000, and the blowing ratio was varied among 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0. The experimental results clearly showed spatial variation of the heat transfer coefficient and the film cooling effectiveness on the cutback and land top surfaces. The cutback surface results clearly showed periodically enhanced heat transfer due to the periodical surface geometry of ribs and dimples. Generally, the increase of the blowing ratio increased both the heat transfer coefficient and the film cooling effectiveness. Within the present experimental range, the dimple surface was a favorable cutback-surface geometry because it gave the enhanced heat transfer without deterioration of the high film cooling effectiveness.

This paper presents experimental investigations for the measurement of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness as well as the heat transfer coefficient distribution in film cooling experiments with a row of fanshaped holes on a flat plate. The temperature distribution on the flat plate is measured using infrared-thermography (IR). Adiabatic wall effectiveness data are obtained using a high-temperature plastic material. Although a low thermal conductivity material is used, the measured temperature distribution is not identical with the adiabatic temperature distribution. The measured temperature field shows influences of 3D heat conduction inside the test plate. The effects of the heat conduction inside the test plate are modeled using the FE-method to re-evaluate the adiabatic wall temperature and to calculate the coolant gas exit temperature, which is used for the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness. For the measurement of the heat transfer coefficient ratio with and without film cooling (hf/h0) a transient method is used. Temperature transients on the test surface are initiated by switching the coolant flow and are recorded using IR-thermography. The measured wall temperature histories are converted into heat flux values assuming a semi-infinite wall model during the experiment.

Experimental results are presented for film cooling effectiveness with injection from both a single row and multiple rows of holes with spanwise hole-to-hole spacings of three hole diameters. In the multi-row cases, the injection holes were arranged in staggered patterns with streamwise row-to-row spacings of five or ten hole diameters. Adiabatic wall temperature distributions near and downstream of injection holes were well visualized using a scanning infrared camera. The effect of mainstream pressure gradient was partially included. The additive nature of multi-row film cooling was demonstrated experimentally, in agreement with the Sellers superposition model.

An experimental investigation has been performed to study the effect of hole shape and position on the cooling performance of a gas turbine stator. Two rows of laid-back fan-shaped holes are placed on the pressure side of a scaled vane in a two-dimensional cascade and compared with two identical rows of standard cylindrical exit. Both hole shapes have the same base diameter and were investigated at three different blowing ratios (1, 1.35, and 1.7) with the same coolant flow rate used in each case. The experiments are conducted for the first row of holes only, then for the second row only, and finally for both two rows together at a 0.9 density ratio. The mainstream inlet Reynolds number based on the true chord is 1.4E5 and the exit Mach number is 0.23. The local distributions of the heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness are obtained using a transient TLC technique. The second row of holes, with by a higher local radius of curvature, shows a 40% decrease in the cooling effectiveness as well as a 10% increase in the heat transfer coefficient near downstream of the hole compared with that obtained by the first hole. The double injection provides a slight increase in the cooling effectiveness and a lower heat transfer coefficient due to the favorable interaction between both injections.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Leakage flow between the rotating turbine blade tip and the fixed casing causes high heat loads and thermal stress on the tip and near the tip region. For this study, new squealer tips called partial cavity tips, which combine the advantages of plane and squealer tips, were suggested, and the effects of the cavity shape on the tip heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness were investigated experimentally in a low speed linear cascade. The suggested blade tips had a flat surface near the leading edge and a squealer cavity from the mid-chord to trailing edge region to achieve the advantages of both blade tip types. The heat transfer coefficient was measured via the 1-D transient heat transfer technique using an IR camera, and the film cooling effectiveness was obtained via the pressure sensitive paint (PSP) technique. Results showed that the heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness on the partial cavity tips strongly depended on the cavity shape. Near the leading edge, the heat transfer coefficients for the partial cavity tip cases were lower than that for the squealer tip case. However, the heat transfer coefficient on the cavity surface was higher for the partial cavity tip cases. The D10 tip showed a similar distribution of film cooling effectiveness to that of the PLN tip near the leading edge and the DSS tip near the mid-chord region. However, the overall averaged film cooling effectiveness of the DSS tip was higher than that of the D10 tip.

Abstract This research experimentally investigated the net benefit of film cooling with 6 rows of impingement-effusion structures on the suction surface of a vane. The experiment obtained the film cooling effectiveness of double-walled system on the suction surface via the pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) technique. The film cooling effectiveness obtained by the PSP technique is coupled with the transient liquid crystal (TLC) technique to determine the heat transfer coefficient. This combination of techniques reduces the time required for the experiment and improves the efficiency of the experiment. Through the experimentally measured film cooling effectiveness and dimensionless heat transfer coefficient, the net heat flux reduction (NHFR) is calculated to comprehensively measure the net benefit of film cooling. At the same time, in view of the lower net benefit of film cooling of the film holes in the front of the suction surface under higher mass flux ratio, the study improved the cylindrical holes into fan-shaped holes, and proposed two improvement schemes: Vane A and Vane B. The findings show that using the coupling of PSP and TLC to determine the heat transfer coefficient can yield credible results. The improvement of the fan-shaped holes makes the film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient ratio improved compared with the baseline vane. Changing cylindrical holes to fan-shaped holes does not necessarily lead to better net benefit of film cooling. The fan-shaped holes should be arranged reasonably to obtain better net benefit of film cooling.

Abstract To study the film cooling performance of impingement-effusion structures, it is important to study their adiabatic film cooling effectiveness. To improve the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness on a vane, some rows of cylindrical effusion holes are changed into fan-shaped holes. This experiment measured the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness of the double-walled system on the suction surface via the pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) technique. The film cooling effectiveness obtained by the PSP technique is coupled with the transient liquid crystal (TLC) technique to determine the heat transfer coefficient. This combination of techniques reduces the time required for the experiment and improves the efficiency of the experiment. The heat transfer coefficient ratio is used to evaluate the level of heating transfer. The net heat flux reduction (NHFR) is used to quantify the net benefit of film cooling. Two experimental vanes’ (A and B) film holes are both arranged in 6 rows of holes. There are 15 holes in each row. Only the positions of the fan-shaped holes are different. The experimental conditions include the mainstream Reynolds number (Re = 151,000) based on the chord length and inlet velocity, the turbulence intensities (Tu = 0.77%, 16.9%), and the mass flux ratios (ṁc/ṁg = 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.6%). The findings show that when the mass flux ratio increases to a point, the film cooling effectiveness does not improve. Increasing the turbulence intensity leads to a decrease in the film cooling effectiveness except for the region after Row 6 on Vane B. Using the coupling of PSP and TLC to determine the heat transfer coefficient can yield credible results. The turbulence intensity and the arrangement of the film holes have obvious effects on the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient ratio. The effects of turbulence intensity, mass flux ratio and hole arrangement on NHFR were studied.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

In film cooling situations, there is a need to determine both local adiabatic wall temperature and heat transfer coefficient to fully assess the local heat flux into the surface. Typical film cooling situations are termed three temperature problems where the complex interaction between the jets and mainstream dictates the surface temperature. The coolant temperature is much cooler than the mainstream resulting in a mixed temperature in the film region downstream of injection. An infrared thermography technique using a transient surface temperature acquisition is described which determines both the heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness (nondimensional adiabatic wall temperature) from a single test. Hot mainstream and cooler air injected through discrete holes are imposed suddenly on an ambient temperature surface and the wall temperature response is captured using infrared thermography. The wall temperature and the known mainstream and coolant temperatures are used to determine the two unknowns (the heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness) at every point on the test surface. The advantage of this technique over existing techniques is the ability to obtain the information using a single transient test. Transient liquid crystal techniques have been one of the standard techniques for determining h and η for turbine film cooling for several years. Liquid crystal techniques do not account for nonuniform initial model temperatures while the transient IR technique measures the entire initial model distribution. The transient liquid crystal technique is very sensitive to the angle of illumination and view while the IR technique is not. The IR technique is more robust in being able to take measurements over a wider temperature range which improves the accuracy of h and η. The IR requires less intensive calibration than liquid crystal techniques. Results are presented for film cooling downstream of a single hole on a turbine blade leading edge model.

Experiments were performed in a transonic cascade wind tunnel to investigate the film effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient on the suction side of a high-turning turbine rotor blade. The coolant scheme consisted of six rows of staggered, discrete cooling holes on and near the leading edge of the blade in a showerhead configuration. Air was cooled in order to match the density ratios found under engine conditions. Six high-frequency heat flux gauges were installed downstream of the cooling holes on the suction side of the blade. Experiments were performed with and without film and the coolant to freestream total pressure ratio was varied from 1.02 to 1.19. In order to simulate real engine flow conditions, the exit Mach number was set to 1.2 and the exit Reynolds number was set to 5×106. The freestream turbulence was approximately 1%. The heat transfer coefficient was found to increase with the addition of film cooling an average of 14% overall and to a maximum of 26% at the first gauge location. The average film cooling effectiveness over the gauge locations was 25%. Both the heat transfer coefficient and the film cooling effectiveness were found to have only a weak dependence upon the coolant to freestream total pressure ratio at the gauge locations used in this study.
