"An Experimental Investigation of Showerhead Film Cooling Performance in a Transonic Vane Cascade at Low Freestream Turbulence"
In the drive to increase cycle efficiency, gas turbine designers have increased turbine inlet temperatures well beyond the metallurgical limits of engine components. In order to prevent failure and meet life requirements, turbine components must be cooled well below these hot gas temperatures. Fil...
