TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered spatially-resolved surface heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures on a turbine blade tip in a linear cascade under transonic conditions.
Abstract: The present study considers spatially-resolved surface heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures on a turbine blade tip in a linear cascade under transonic conditions. Six different measurement and processing techniques are considered and compared, including transient infrared thermography and thin-film heat flux gauges. Three methods use the same experimental setup, using a heater mesh to provide a near-instantaneous step-change in mainstream temperature, employing an infrared camera to measure surface temperature. The three methods use the same data but different processing techniques to determine the heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures. Two methods use different processing techniques to reconstruct heat flux from the temperature time trace measured. A plot of the heat flux versus temperature is used to determine the heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures. The third uses the classical solution to the 1-D non-steady Fourier equation to determine heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures. A fourth method uses regression analysis to calculate detailed heat transfer coefficients for a quasi-steady state condition using a thin-foil heater on the tip surface. The fifth method uses the infrared camera to measure the adiabatic wall temperature surface distribution of a blade tip after a quasi-steady state condition is present. Finally, the sixth method employs thin-film gauges to measure surface temperature histories at four discreet blade tip locations. With this approach, heat flux reconstruction is used to calculate the transient heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures. Overall, the present study shows that the infrared thermography technique with heat flux reconstruction using the Impulse method, is the most accurate and reliable method to obtain detailed, spatially-resolved heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures on a turbine blade tip in a linear cascade.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel cross-corrugated primary surface for an intercooler in an aero-engine is proposed. But the authors focus on the performance of the intercoolers and do not consider the volume and area goodness factors.

31 May 2007TL;DR: A combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine comprising at least one Helmholtz resonator having a resonator cavity and a resonators neck in flow communication with the interior of the combustion chamber is described in this paper.
Abstract: A combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine comprising at least one Helmholtz resonator having a resonator cavity and a resonator neck in flow communication with the interior of the combustion chamber. The cavity extends around at least part of the neck and is spaced apart therefrom to define a cooling chamber therebetween. The cooling chamber allows the neck and the cavity to be cooled with a flow of cooling air. The sunken neck allows the resonator to be located within enclosures with minimal volume without compromising on the damping properties afforded.

TL;DR: In this article, cleavage initiation in the intercritically reheated coarse-grained heat affected zone (IC CG HAZ) of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels was determined to occur between two closely spaced blocky MA particles.
Abstract: In part I of this article, cleavage initiation in the intercritically reheated coarse-grained heat affected zone (IC CG HAZ) of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels was determined to occur between two closely spaced blocky MA particles. Blunt notch, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD), and precracked Charpy testing were used in this investigation to determine the failure criteria required for cleavage initiation to occur by this mechanism in the IC CG HAZ. It was found that the attainment of a critical level of strain was required in addition to a critical level of stress. This does not occur in the case of high strain rate testing, for example, during precracked Charpy testing. A different cleavage initiation mechanism is then found to operate. The precise fracture criteria and microstructural requirements (described in part I of this article) result in competition between potential cleavage initiation mechanisms in the IC CG HAZ.
