Theoretical and experimental evaluation of temperature drop and power consumption in a cover-plate pre-swirl system for gas turbine cooling

The pre-swirl system has the ability to decrease the air supply temperature so as to improve the cooling performance and the operating life for turbine rotating blade. In this paper, a test rig was designed to reveal the aero-thermal characteristics in a cover-plate type pre-swirl system of gas turb...
