Parameters that affect shaped hole film cooling performance and the effect of density ratio on heat transfer coefficient augmentation

Film cooling is used in gas turbine engines to cool turbine components. Cooler air is bled from the compressor, routed internally through turbine vanes and blades, and exits through discrete holes, creating a film of coolant on the parts’ surfaces. Cooling the turbine components protects them from t...
