Conjugate heat transfer effects on gas turbine film cooling : including thermal fields, thermal barrier coating, and contaminant deposition

The efficiency of natural gas turbines is directly linked to the turbine inlet temperature, or the combustor exit temperature. Further increasing the turbine inlet temperature damages the turbine components and limits their durability. Advances in turbine vane cooling schemes protect the turbine com...
