Abstract:This paper describes the design process carried out to develop a new hole geometry. This geometry is able to increase the cooling coverage effect on a turbine blade, in order to have a higher efficiency compared to the standard holes. The first step of the activity described is a CFD analysis of the performances of different hole geometries on a flat plate. Starting from the cylindrical holes the performances of several geometries have been compared. This study allowed the determination of the geometrical para… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
