Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to quantify the influence on external convective heat transfer of a coolant film whose position varies along the pressure side of a high-pressure turbine nozzle guide vane. The measurements were performed in the short-duration Isentropic Light Piston Compression Tube facility of the von Karman Institute. The effects of external and internal flow are considered in terms of Mach number, Reynolds number, free-stream turbulence intensity, blowing rate, and coolant to free-stream temperature ratio. The way to evaluate these results in terms of film cooling efficiency and heat transfer coefficient is finally discussed.
