Conjugate Heat Transfer Calculation of a Gas Turbine Rotor Blade with Ribbed Internal Cooling Passages

Turbine Blade Tip Cooling and Heat Transfer

ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Behind every success, there is inspiration or support of at least one person. In my case, it was a group of people including my mentor, my family, and my friends. First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Srinath Ekkad for his guidance, wisdom, and financial support. I do not think many advisors would go to the lab to help his student running an experiment. Whenever I had any ...

A SUPG-Finite Element study for conjugate heat transfer analysis in two-dimensional ribbed passages

In the present study, conjugate heat transfer predictions are performed for forced convection and natural convection in a twodimensional, vertical channel attached with surface mounted obstacles and having a solid wall of considerable thickness. The Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) Finite Element (FE) method with Cartesian frame work is used for solving the equations governing Newtonian...

Heat Transfer Analysis of Two Pass Cooling Channel of Gas Turbine Blade with Analytical Wall Function Turbulence Approach

Performance Assessment of Wet-Compression Gas Turbine Cycle with Turbine Blade Cooling

Turbine blade cooling is considered as the most effective way of maintaining high operating temperature making use of the available materials, and turbine systems with wet compression have a potential for future power generation because of high efficiency and high specific power with a relatively low cost. In this paper performance analysis of wet-compression gas turbine cycle with turbine blad...

Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Flat Plate with Conjugate Heat Transfer

The falling and settling of solid particles in gases and liquids is a natural phenomenon happens in many industrial processes. This phenomenon has altered pure forced convection to a combination of heat conduction and heat convection in a flow over a plate. In this paper, the coupling of conduction (inside the plate) and forced convection of a non-homogeneous nanofluid flow (over a flat plate) ...
