Experiments have been conducted to study the effect of rib size on the local heat (mass) transfer distribution for radial outward flow in a rotating channel with transverse ribs on the leading and trailing walls. The test channel modeled internal turbine blade cooling passages. Results were obtained for Reynolds numbers of 5,500 and 10,000, rotation numbers of 0.09 and 0.24, and for a fixed rib pitch that was equal to the channel hydraulic diameter. For a fixed rib configuration on the leading wall, increasing the size of the ribs on the trailing wall increased the heat (mass) transfer on the leading wall. Ribs with D/e = p/e = 16 on the trailing wall performed better than ribs with D/e = p/e = 10. When the rotation number was large, the heat (mass) transfer on the leading wall was quite low, regardless of the sizes of the ribs on the leading and trailing walls. There was very little spanwise variation of the local heat (mass) transfer between the transverse ribs on the trailing wall. When the rotation number was large, however, there was a significant spanwise variation of the local heat (mass) transfer between ribs on the leading wall.

The Difference

Experiments have been conducted to study the local heat (mass) transfer distributions in a two-pass test model of internal turbine blade cooling passages, with 60 ribs on the leading and trailing walls. For radial outward flow in the first pass, rotation did not significantly increase the local nor the overall heat (mass) transfer between consecutive ribs on the trailing wall. Rotation-induced Coriolis force lowered the relative overall heat (mass) transfer on the leading wall less in the rib-roughened channel than in a smooth channel. When the rotation number was high, there were twin peaks in the local heat (mass) transfer distribution between ribs on the leading wall. For radial inward flow in the second pass, the sharp turn reduced the difference between the heat (mass) transfer.on the leading wall and that on the trailing wall.

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.

The Matrix

The present investigation provides detailed local heat/mass transfer distribution and pressure drop characteristics in a matrix cooling channel under rotating conditions. The matrix channel has cooling sub-passages with crossing angle of 45 degrees. Detailed heat/mass transfer coefficients are measured using the naphthalene sublimation method. The pressure drops are also measured. The experiments were conducted under various Reynolds numbers (10,000 to 44,000) and rotation numbers (0.0 to 0.8). For the stationary case, the heat transfer characteristics are dominated by turning, impinging and swirling flow which are induced by the matrix channel geometry. Averaged heat/mass transfer coefficients on the leading and trailing surfaces in the stationary channel are approximately 2.1 times higher than those in a smooth channel. For the rotating cases, the effect of rotation on heat/mass transfer characteristics shows different tendency compared to typical rotating channels with radially outward flow. As the rotation number increases, the Sherwood number ratios increase on the leading surface, but changed slightly on the trailing surface. The thermal performance factors increases with increasing rotation numbers due to increased Sherwood number ratios and decreased friction factor ratios.

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.

The detailed mass transfer distributions around the sharp 180 deg turns in a two-pass, square, smooth channel and in an identical channel with two rib-roughened opposite walls were determined via the napthalene sublimation technique. The top, bottom, inner (divider), and outer walls of the test channel were napthalene-coated surfaces. For the ribbed channel tests, square, transverse, brass ribs were attached to the top and bottom walls of the channel in alignment. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratios (e/D) were 0.063 and 0.094; the rib pitch-to-height ratios (P/e) were 10 and 20. Experiments were conducted for three Reynolds numbers of 15,000, 30,000, and 60,000. Results show that the Sherwood numbers on the top, outer, and inner walls around the turn in the rib-roughened channel are higher than the corresponding Sherwood numbers around the turn in the smooth channel. For both the smooth and the ribbed channels, the Sherwood numbers after the sharp turn are higher than those before the turn. The regional averages of the local Sherwood numbers are correlated and compared with published heat transfer data.

Naphthalene sublimation experiments have been conducted to examine the effects of channel orientation, rotational Coriolis force, ad a sharp turn, on the local heat (mass) transfer distributions in a two-pass square channel with rib-roughened walls, rotating about a perpendicular axis. The test channel was oriented so that the direction of rotation was perpendicular or at a 45 deg angle to the leading and trailing walls. In the two straight passes of the test channel, there were parallel 90 or 60 deg ribs on the leading and trailing walls. The test channel modeled serpentine cooling passages in modern gas turbine blades. The results showed that the heat (mass) transfer was very low on the leading wall of the first pass when the channel was oriented with the rotating direction normal to the leading and trailing walls. There were regions of very low heat (mass) transfer on both the leading and trailing walls in the turn, especially on the trailing wall in the turn when the channel with transverse ribs was oriented diagonally. For the given diagonal channel orientation, rotational Coriolis forces caused the leading and trailing wall heat (mass) transfer to be high near the outer edges of the walls in the channel with transverse ribs; rotation-induced secondary flows dominated near wall rib-induced secondary flows in the channel with angled ribs, since the heat (mass) transfer was generally higher near the outer edges of the walls than near the inner edges in the first and second straight passes.

The Matrix

The present investigation provides detailed local heat/mass transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a matrix cooling channel, under rotating conditions. The matrix channel had cooling subpassages with crossing angles of 45 deg. The detailed heat/mass transfer coefficients were measured via the naphthalene sublimation method, and pressure drops were also obtained. The experiments were conducted for various Reynolds numbers (10,500 to 44,000) and rotation numbers (0.0 to 0.8). In the stationary case, the heat transfer characteristics were dominated by turning, impinging, and swirling flow, induced by the matrix channel geometry. Average heat/mass transfer coefficients on the leading and trailing surfaces in the stationary channel were approximately 2.1 times greater than those in a smooth channel. In the rotating cases, the effect of rotation on heat/mass transfer characteristics differed from that of typical rotating channels with radially outward flow. As the rotation number increased, the Sherwood number ratios increased on the leading surfaces but changed only slightly on the trailing surfaces. The thermal performance factors increased with rotation number due to the increased Sherwood number ratios and decreased friction factor ratios.

The present study investigates heat/mass transfer characteristics in a rotating two-pass duct for smooth and ribbed surfaces. The duct has an aspect ratio (W/H of 1:2) of 0.5 and a hydraulic diameter (Dh) of 26.67 mm. 70°-angled rib turbulators are attached on the leading and trailing sides of the duct in parallel and cross arrangements. The pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) is 7.5 and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/Dh) is 0.075. The Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter is constant at 10,000 and the rotation number ranges from 0.0 to 0.2. Detailed local heat/mass transfer coefficients are measured using a naphthalene sublimation technique, which is analogous to the two-side heating condition of heat transfer experiment. The results show that the secondary flows generated by the 180°-turn, rib turbulators, and duct rotation affect the wall heat/mass transfer distribution significantly. The curvature of the 180°-turn produces Dean vortices causing high heat/mass transfer in the turning region and in the upstream region of the second-pass. When the duct is roughened with ribs, the disturbed main flow produces recirculation and secondary flows near the ribbed surfaces. Consequently, the heat/mass transfer is enhanced two to three times more. As the duct rotates, the rotation-induced Coriolis force deflects the main flow and results in differences on the heat/mass transfer distribution between the leading and trailing surfaces. Its effects become more dominant as the rotation number increases. Discussions are presented describing how the rib configuration and the rotation speed affect the flow patterns and local heat/mass transfer in the duct.

Cooling Passage

Systematic experiments are conducted to measure heat transfer enhancement and pressure loss characteristics on a square channel (simulating a gas turbine blade cooling passage) with two opposite surfaces roughened by 45 deg parallel ribs. Copper plates fitted with a silicone heater and instrumented with thermocouples are used to measure regionally averaged local heat transfer coefficients. Reynolds numbers studied in the channel range from 30,000 to 400,000. The rib height (e) to hydraulic diameter (D) ratio ranges from 0.1 to 0.18. The rib spacing (p) to height ratio (p/e) ranges from 5 to 10. Results show higher heat transfer coefficients at smaller values of p/e and larger values of e/D, though at the cost of higher friction losses. Results also indicate that the thermal performance of the ribbed channel falls with increasing Reynolds numbers. Correlations predicting Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f¯) as a function of p/e, e/D, and Re are developed. Also developed are correlations for R and G (friction and heat transfer roughness functions, respectively) as a function of the roughness Reynolds number (e+), p/e, and e/D.
