A special naphthalene sublimation technique is used to study the film cooling performance downstream of one row of holes of 35 deg inclination angle and 45 deg compound angle with 3d hole spacing and relatively small hole length to diameter ratio (6.3). Both film cooling effectiveness and mass/heat transfer coefficients are determined for blowing rates from 0.5 to 2.0 with density ratio of unity. The mass transfer coefficient is measured using pure air film injection, while the film cooling effectiveness is derived from comparison of mass transfer coefficients obtained following injection of naphthalene-vapor-saturated air with that of pure air injection. This technique enables one to obtain detailed local information on film cooling performance. General agreement is found in local film cooling effectiveness when compared with previous experiments. The laterally averaged effectiveness with compound angle injection is higher than that with inclined holes immediately downstream of injection at a blowing rate of 0.5 and is higher at all locations downstream of injection at larger blowing rates. A large variation of mass transfer coefficients in the lateral direction is observed in the present study. At low blowing rates of 0.5 and 1.0, the laterally averaged mass transfer coefficient is close to that of injection without compound angle. At the highest blowing rate used (2.0), the asymmetric vortex motion under the jets increases the mass transfer coefficient drastically ten diameters downstream of injection.

The mass transfer coefficient is measured using pure air film injection, while the film cooling effectiveness is derived from comparison of mass transfer coefficients obtained following injection of naphthalene-vapor-saturated air with those from pure air injection. This technique enables one to obtain detailed local information on film cooling performance. The laterally averaged and local film cooling effectiveness agree with previous experiments. The difference between mass/heat transfer coefficients and previous heat transfer results indicates that conduction error may play an important role in the earlier heat transfer measurements.

The present study investigates local film cooling effectiveness values and heat/mass transfer coefficients around a conical-shaped film cooling hole with compound angle orientations. Three types of film cooling hole geometry are compared in this study; one is cylindrical hole geometry with constant cross section and the others are shaped hole geometries with conically-enlarged hole exits. The shaped holes have cylindrical passage sections at the hole inlet region to obtain a certain pressure drop through the holes. One shaped hole expands 4° in all directions from the middle of hole to the exit. The other shaped hole has the tilted center-line by 4° between the conical and metering holes and is enlarged by 8° to downstream side. The hole area ratios of the exit to the inlet are 2.55 and 2.48, respectively. The compound-angled film cooling jet is ejected through the single holes, which are inclined at 30° to the surface based on the metering hole and are rotatable in lateral direction from 0° to 90°. The blowing rates are changed from 0.5 to 2.0. The naphthalene sublimation technique is used to determine local heat/mass transfer coefficients and local adiabatic/impermeable wall film cooling effectiveness around the injection hole. The results indicate that the injected jet protects the surface effectively with low blowing rates and spreads more widely with the compound angle injections than the axial injection. For the shaped hole enlarged by 4° in all directions, the penetration of jet is reduced and higher cooling performance is obtained even at relatively high blowing rates because the increased hole exit area reduces hole exit velocity. Furthermore, the film cooling effectiveness is fairly uniform near the hole due to the wide lateral spreading of coolant with the expanded cooling hole exit.

To investigate the effects of the inclined ribs on internal flow structure in film hole and the film cooling performance on outer surface, experimental and numerical studies are conducted on the effects of rib orientation angle on film cooling of compound cylindrical holes. Three coolant channel cases, including two ribbed cross-flow channels (135° and 45° angled ribs) and the plenum case, are studied under three blowing ratios (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0). 2D contours of film cooling effectiveness as well as heat transfer coefficient were measured by transient liquid crystal measurement technique (TLC). The steady RANS simulations with realizable k-ε turbulence model and enhanced wall treatment were performed. The results show that the spanwise width of film coverage is greatly influenced by the rib orientation angle. The spanwise width of the 45° rib case is obviously larger than that of the 135° rib case under lower blowing ratios. When the blowing ratio is 1.0, the area-averaged cooling effectiveness of the 135° rib case and the 45° rib case are higher than that of the plenum case by 38% and 107%, respectively. With the increase of blowing ratio, the film coverage difference between different rib orientation cases becomes smaller. The 45° rib case also produces higher heat transfer coefficient, which is higher than the 135° rib case by 3.4–8.7% within the studied blowing ratio range. Furthermore, the discharge coefficient of the 45° rib case is the lowest among the three cases. The helical motion of coolant flow is observed in the hole of 45° rib case. The jet divides into two parts after being blown out of the hole due to this motion, which induces strong velocity separation and loss. For the 135° rib case, the vortex in the upper half region of the secondary-flow channel rotates in the same direction with the hole inclination direction, which leads to the straight streamlines and thus results in lower loss and higher discharge coefficient.

The heat (mass) transfer coefficient and the film cooling effectiveness are obtained from separate tests using pure air and naphthalene-saturated vapor injected through circular holes into a crossflow of air. The experiments indicate that Sherwood numbers around the injection hole are up to four times those on a flat plate (without injection holes) due to the interaction of the jets and the mainstream. The mass transfer around the injection holes is dominated by formations of horseshoe, side, and kidney vortices, which are generated by the jet and crossflow interaction. For an in-line array of holes, the effectiveness is high and uniform in the streamwise direction but has a large variation in the lateral direction. The key parameters, including transfer coefficients on the back surface (Part I), inside the hole (Part I), and on the exposed surfaces, and the effectiveness on the exposed surface, are obtained so that the wall temperature distribution near the injection holes can be determined for a given heat flux condition. This detailed information will also aid the numerical modeling of flow and mass/heat transfer around film cooling holes.

Film cooling technique is widely used to protect the components from being destroyed by hot mainstream in a modern gas turbine. Combining round-holes is a promising way of improving film cooling effectiveness. A batch simulation of 75 cases focusing on the arrangements of combined-hole unit with two holes for improving film cooling performance are carried out in this work, and the influence of an aerodynamic parameter, blowing ratio, is considered as well. The lateral distance and compound-angle of the two holes have relative influence on the film cooling performance of a combined-hole unit. At a small lateral distance, the film cooling effectiveness increases significantly as compound-angle increases, whereas it deteriorates at a large distance and it is barely influenced by compound-angle at a medium lateral distance. Asymmetrical compound-angle is introduced aiming to balance the two branches of vortexes, but its film cooling performance is not as good as expected. The general film cooling effectiveness is in the position between that of the adjacent symmetrical compound-angle. Besides, the optimal arrangement of combined-hole unit for improving film cooling performance is relative to local aerodynamic parameter. The combination of the lateral distance of the two holes with their compound-angles for the highest film cooling effectiveness is different at different blowing ratios.

Embedding a row of typical cylindrical holes in a transverse slot can improve the cooling performance. Rectangular slots can increase the cooling effectiveness but is at the cost of decreasing of discharge coefficients. An experiment is conducted to examine the effects of an overlying transverse inclined trench on the film cooling performance of axial holes. Four different trench configurations are tested including the baseline inclined cylindrical holes. The influence of the geometry of the upstream lip of the exit trench and the geometry of the inlet trench on cooling performance is examined. Detailed film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficients are obtained separately using the steady state IR thermography technique. The discharge coefficients are also acquired to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of different hole configurations. The results show that the film cooling holes with both ends embedded in slots can provide higher film cooling effectiveness and lower heat transfer coefficients; it also can provide higher discharge coefficients whilst retaining the mechanical strength of a row of discrete holes. The cooling performance and the aerodynamic performance of the holes with both ends embedded in inclined slots are superior to the holes with only exit trenched. To a certain extent, the configuration of the upstream lip of the exit trench affects the cooling performance of the downstream of the trench. The filleting for the film hole inlet avail the improvement of the cooling effect, but not for the film hole outlet. Comparing film cooling with embedded holes to unembedded holes, the overall heat flux ratio shows that the film holes with both ends embedded in slots and filleting for the film hole inlet can produce the highest heat flux reduction.

AbstractA general review on correlations to evaluate mass transfer coefficients in liquid-liquid was conducted in this work. The mass transfer models can be classified into continuous and dispersed phase coefficients. The effects of drop size and interfacial area on mass transfer coefficient were investigated briefly. Published experimental results for both continuous and dispersed phase mass transfer coefficients through different hydrodynamic conditions were considered and the results were compared. The suitability and drawbacks of these correlations depend on the operating conditions and hydrodynamics. Although the results of these models are reasonably acceptable, they could not properly predict the experimental results over a wide range of designs and operating conditions. Therefore, proper understanding of various factors affecting mass transfer coefficient needs to be further extended.

Abstract A number of industrial operations are linked to mass transfer. The mass transfer coefficient value is necessary to know when designing the industrial equipment in which mass transfer occurs. There are various mass transfer coefficients, as well as equations for their calculation. However, the value of these coefficients determined according to these equations often has to be corrected for the given conditions. The aim of the article is to state the conversion relations - the correction factors enabling the calculation of the mass transfer coefficients values corresponding to the given conditions.
