Download or read book Survey of Advantages and Problems Associated with Transpiration Cooling and Film Cooling of Gas-turbine Blades written by Ernst Rudolf Georg Eckert. This book was released on 1951. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: Transpiration and film cooling promise to be effective methods of cooling gas-turbine blades; consequently, analytical and experimental investigations are being conducted to obtain a better understanding of these processes. This report serves as an introduction to these cooling methods, explains the physical processes, and surveys the information available for predicting blade temperatures and heat-transfer rates. In addition, the difficulties encountered in obtaining a uniform blade temperature are discussed, and the possibilities of correcting these difficulties are indicated. Air is the only coolant considered in the application of these cooling methods.
