More complex mathematical model is proposed which is a system of partial differential equations of elliptic and parabolic type with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions, which are not involved in the heat transfer coefficients, the deter-mination of the numerical values of which is very difficult. For its implementation diffe-rence analogue of the proposed model was built with Nx steps along the length of the channel, Ny steps along the section of channels, Ny / 2 +1 steps of the cross section of the plate. The presented model and the method of its implementation makes it possible to determine the temperature of the air flows along the length of coolers that offers a choice of the geometric parameters.

This paper presents the results of heat transfer measurements taken on a two-dimensional supersonic parallel diffuser. The wall static pressure distributions and the corresponding heat transfer coefficients and fluxes have been measured for a range of initial total pressures. The effects of varying the area of the diffuser cross-section for the same upstream generating nozzle have also been studied. Mach number profiles measured at sections along the diffuser show that in the presence of shock waves and a positive pressure gradient the flow is very much underdeveloped. In general, the mean level of heat transfer is found to be much greater than that predicted by conventional empirical equations for subsonic pipe flows with zero pressure gradient. Further, on comparison between normal and oblique shock diffusion the former is found to give the higher level of heat transfer.

The heat transfer boundary conditions used in the RELAP5-3D computer program have evolved over the years. Currently, RELAP5-3D has the following options for the heat transfer boundary conditions: (a) heat transfer correlation package option, (b) non-convective option (from radiation/conduction enclosure model or symmetry/insulated conditions), and (c) other options (setting the surface temperature to a volume fraction averaged fluid temperature of the boundary volume, obtaining the surface temperature from a control variable, obtaining the surface temperature from a time-dependent general table, obtaining the heat flux from a time-dependent general table, or obtaining heat transfer coefficients from either a time- or temperature-dependent general table). These options will be discussed, including the more recent ones.

Local and average heat transfer coefficients and friction factors were measured in a test section simulating the trailing edge cooling cavity of a turbine airfoil. The test rig with a trapezoidal cross sectional area was rib-roughened on two opposite sides of the trapezoid (airfoil pressure and suction sides) with tapered ribs to conform to the cooling cavity shape and had a 22-degree tilt in the flow direction upstream of the ribs that affected the heat transfer coefficients on the two rib-roughened surfaces. The radial cooling flow traveled from the airfoil root to the tip while exiting through 22 cooling holes along the airfoil trailing edge. Two rib geometries, with and without the presence of the trailing-edge cooling holes, were examined. The numerical model contained the entire trailing-edge channel, ribs and trailing-edge cooling holes to simulate exactly the tested geometry. A pressure-correction based, multi-block, multi-grid, unstructured/adaptive commercial software was used in this investigation. Realizable k–ε turbulence model in conjunction with enhanced wall treatment approach for the near wall regions, was used for turbulence closure. The applied thermal boundary conditions to the CFD models matched the test boundary conditions. Comparisons are made between the experimental and numerical results.

The present study deals with the numerical modeling of the turbulent flow in a rotor-stator cavity with or without imposed through flow with heat transfer. The commercial finite volume based solver, ANSYS/FLUENT is used to numerically simulate the problem. A conjugate heat transfer approach is used. The study specifically deals with the calculation of the heat transfer coefficients and the temperatures at the disk surfaces. Results are compared with data where available. Conventional approaches which use boundary conditions such as constant wall temperature or constant heat flux in order to calculate the heat transfer coefficients which later are used to calculate disk temperatures can introduce significant errors in the results. The conjugate heat transfer approach can resolve this to a good extent. It includes the effect of variable surface temperature on heat transfer coefficients. Further it is easier to specify more realistic boundary conditions in a conjugate approach since solid and the flow heat transfer problems are solved simultaneously. However this approach incurs a higher computational cost. In this study, the configuration chosen is a simple rotor and stator system with a stationary and heated stator and a rotor. The aspect ratio is kept small (around 0.1). The flow and heat transfer characteristics are obtained for a rotational Reynolds number of around 106. The simulation is performed using the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM). The computational model is first validated against experimental data available in the literature. Studies have been carried out to calculate the disk temperatures using conventional non-conjugate and full conjugate approaches. It has been found that the difference between the disk temperatures for conjugate and non-conjugate computations is 5 K for the low temperature and 30 K for the high temperature boundary conditions. These represent differences of 1% and 2% from the respective stator surface temperatures. Even at low temperatures, the Nusselt numbers at the disk surface show a difference of 5% between the conjugate and non-conjugate computations, and far higher at higher temperatures.

Typical turbomachinery flows are too complex to be predicted by analytical solutions alone. Therefore numerous correlations and test data are used in conjunction with numerical tools in order to design thermally critical components. This approach can be problematic because these correlations and data are not fully independent of the boundary conditions applied. The heat transfer coefficients obtained are not only dependent on the aerodynamics of the flow but also on the thermal boundary layer created along the surface. The adiabatic heat transfer coefficient is the only one which is independent of the thermal boundary conditions, as long as the energy equation can be considered linear with respect to the temperature. However, a proper prediction of the surface temperature cannot be obtained with the adiabatic heat transfer coefficient alone. This paper first reviews the concept of adiabatic heat transfer coefficient and its application to turbomachinery flows. Later, a concept is introduced to allow interchanging between different definitions of heat transfer coefficient and boundary conditions, i.e. constant heat flux or constant wall temperature. Finally, a typical configuration for measuring the adiabatic heat transfer coefficient on a turbine blade and the conversion to other definitions of heat transfer coefficient is presented and evaluated. It is shown that with the technique presented here even small deficiencies of some experiments can be compensated for.

The effect of uncertainties in the thermal properties of components and surrounding fluids is often ignored in the field of experimental turbomachinery heat transfer. The work reported here uses two different methods of uncertainty analysis to help quantify these effects: 1) a stochastic Monte Carlo simulation and 2) a Taylor series uncertainty propagation. These two methods were used on a steady state free disc test case having a turbulent flow regime. The disc modelled was made from IMI 318 titanium and had an inner and outer radius of 0.115 m and 0.22 m respectively, representative of engine and test rig geometry. The disc thickness was 0.016 m. Convective boundary conditions were derived from the relevant equation for local Nusselt number. The applied boundary conditions resulted in local heat transfer coefficients in the range of approximately 120 W/m2 K to 170 W/m2 K. Uncertainties for these heat transfer coefficients were a near identical match between the two different uncertainty methods and were found to be ± 0.66%. Calculated heat flux values fell within the range of approximately 1500 W/m2 and 5200 W/m2. The Monte Carlo uncertainty method returned uncertainty values varying from ± 1.17% to ± 0.47% from the inner and outer radii respectively. An extended Taylor series of uncertainty propagation returned uncertainties varying from ± 1.82% to ± 0.96%, from the inner and outer radius respectively and increased and decreased a number of times in between. These differences are due to assumptions and simplifications which need to be made when using the Taylor series method and shows that a Monte Carlo simulation analysis offers a better way of quantifying the uncertainties associated with disc to air heat transfer as it is more realistic. Studying the magnitudes of uncertainty allows the analyst to understand the impact that uncertainties in thermal properties can have on calculated values of disc to air heat fluxes and heat transfer coefficients.
