The effect of density ratio of cooling films on the heat transfer coefficient on a flat plate is investigated using a heat-mass transfer analogy. The experimental technique employed uses a swollen polymer surface and laser holographic interferometry. A density ratio of 1.0 was achieved using air as the injectant. Density ratios of 1.38 and 1.52, representative of turbine operating conditions, were obtained by using foreign gases. The coolant fluids were injected at various blowing rates through a single normal hole or through a row of holes spaced at three-diameter intervals, and inclined at 35° or 90° to the mainstream direction. The experiments were conducted under isothermal conditions in a subsonic, zero mainstream pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer. The results indicated large differences in behaviour between the two injection angles. For normal injection, the heat transfer coefficient at a fixed blowing parameter was insensitive to the variation of density ratio, whereas for 35° injection strong dependence was observed. Scaling parameters for the heat transfer data have been proposed so that use can be made of data obtained at density ratios not representative of gas turbine practice. In addition, a correlation for normal injection data has been formulated.

The experiments were conducted under isothermal conditions in a subsonic, zero mainstream pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer. The results indicated large differences in behavior between the two injection angles. For normal injection, the heat transfer coefficient at a fixed blowing parameter was insensitive to the variation of density ratio, whereas for 35 deg injection strong dependence was observed.

Results are presented of an experimental investigation into the influence of mainstream acceleration on the heat transfer coefficient downstream of injection through a row of 35° holes in a flat plate. A mass transfer analogue technique was used, with two uniform acceleration parameters, K (=ν(du∞/dx)/u∞2), of 1.9 × 10−6 and 5.0 × 10−6 in addition to the zero acceleration base-line case. Two injectants, air and carbon dioxide, were employed to give coolant to mainstream density ratios of 1.0 and 1.52 respectively. The blowing rate varied from 0.5 to 2.0. The heat transfer coefficient beneath the film reduced progressively as the acceleration increased, with maximum reductions from the zero acceleration datum case of about 27%. In the presence of acceleration, the heat transfer coefficient at a given blowing rate was dependent on the density ratio, an increase in the density ratio leading to a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient. An empirical correlation of the data over most of the range of densities and blowing rates of the experiments has been developed.

Knowing the heat transfer coefficient augmentation is imperative to predicting film cooling performance on turbine components. In the past, heat transfer coefficient augmentation was generally measured at unit density ratio to keep measurements simple and uncertainty low. Some researchers have measured heat transfer coefficient augmentation while taking density ratio effects into account, but none have made direct temperature measurements of the wall and adiabatic wall to calculate hf/h0 at higher density ratios. This work presents results from measuring the heat transfer coefficient augmentation downstream of shaped holes with a 7° forward and lateral expansion at DR = 1.0, 1.2, and 1.5 on a flat plate using a constant heat flux surface. The results showed that the heat transfer coefficient augmentation was low while the jets were attached to the surface and increased when the jets started to separate. At DR = 1.0, hf/h0 was higher for a given blowing ratio than at DR = 1.2 and DR = 1.5. However, when velocity ratios are matched, better correspondence was found at the different density ratios. Surface contours of hf/h0 showed that the heat transfer was initially increased along the centerline of the jet, but was reduced along the centerline at distances farther downstream. The decrease along the centerline may be due to counter-rotating vortices sweeping warm air next to the heat flux plate toward the center of the jet, where they sweep upward and thicken the thermal boundary layer. This warming of the core of the coolant jet over the heated surface was confirmed with thermal field measurements.

The influence of injection of cooling films through a row of holes on the heat transfer coefficient on a flat plate is investigated for a range of mass flux ratio using a heat-mass transfer analogy. Injection angles of 35 deg and 90 deg are covered. The experimental technique employed uses a swollen polymer surface and laser holographic interferometry. The results presented show the change in local heat transfer coefficient over the no-injection values at the centerline and off-centerline locations for various streamwise stations. The effect of injection on laterally averaged heat transfer coefficients is also assessed.

Results are presented of an experimental investigation into the influence of mainstream acceleration on the heat transfer coefficient downstream of injection through a row of 35 deg holes in a flat plate. A mass transfer analogue technique was used, with two uniform acceleration parameters, K ( = v(du∞/dx)/u2∞, of 1.9 × 10−6 and 5.0×10−6 in addition to the zero acceleration baseline case. Two injectants, air and carbon dioxide, were employed to give coolant-to-mainstream density ratios of 1.0 and 1.52, respectively. The blowing rate varied from 0.5 to 2.0. The heat transfer coefficient beneath the film decreased progressively as the acceleration increased, with maximum reductions from the zero acceleration datum case of about 27 percent. In the presence of acceleration, the heat transfer coefficient at a given blowing rate was dependent on the density ratio, an increase in the density ratio leading to a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient. An empirical correlation of the data over most of the range of densities and blowing rates of the experiments has been developed.

The study focuses on the aggregation kinematics in the quadratic convective magneto-hydrodynamics of ethylene glycol-titania ([Formula: see text]) nanofluid flowing through an inclined flat plate. The modified Krieger-Dougherty and Maxwell-Bruggeman models are used for the effective viscosity and thermal conductivity to account for the aggregation aspect. The effects of an exponential space-dependent heat source and thermal radiation are incorporated. The impact of pertinent parameters on the heat transfer coefficient is explored by using the Response Surface Methodology and Sensitivity Analysis. The effects of several parameters on the skin friction and heat transfer coefficient at the plate are displayed via surface graphs. The velocity and thermal profiles are compared for two physical scenarios: flow over a vertical plate and flow over an inclined plate. The nonlinear problem is solved using the Runge–Kutta-based shooting technique. It was found that the velocity profile significantly decreased as the inclination of the plate increased on the other hand the temperature profile improved. The heat transfer coefficient decreased due to the increase in the Hartmann number. The exponential heat source has a decreasing effect on the heat flux and the angle of inclination is more sensitive to the heat transfer coefficient than other variables. Further, when radiation is incremented, the sensitivity of the heat flux toward the inclination angle augments at the rate 0.5094% and the sensitivity toward the exponential heat source augments at the rate 0.0925%. In addition, 41.1388% decrement in wall shear stress is observed when the plate inclination is incremented from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text].

The convection heat transfer coefficient on a film-cooled flat plate with and without upstream surface heating is investigated using liquid crystal thermography. The experiments were conducted with a turbulent boundary layer and low freestream turbulence at mass flux ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 and density ratio of unity, using cylindrical holes at a 30° injection angle. Results show that upstream surface heating produces a lower convective heat transfer coefficient as expected, and the spanwise-averaged heat transfer enhancement factor is increased by up to 5% over approximately 60% of the film-cooled region. As blowing ratio increased, this area of increased enhancement factor moved further downstream of the holes.

Heat transfer measurements are made in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions of the two-dimensional air flow on a flat plate with blunt leading edge. The flow reattachment occurs at about four plate thicknesses downstream from the leading edge and the heat transfer coefficient becomes maximum at that point and this is independent of the Reynolds number which ranged from 2720 to 17900 in this investigation. The heat transfer coefficient is found to increase sharply near the leading edge. The development of flow is shown through the measurements of the velocity and temperature in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions.
