Wind tunnel experiments were performed to determine both the average heat transfer coefficient and the radial distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient for a circular disk facing a uniform oncoming flow. The experiments covered the range of Reynolds numbers Re from 5000 to 50,000 and were performed using the naphthalene sublimation technique. To complement the experiments, an analysis incorporating both potential flow theory and boundary layer theory was used to predict the stagnation point heat transfer. The measured average Nusselt numbers definitively resolved a deep disparity between information from the literature and yielded the correlation Nu = 1.05 Pr0.36 Re1/2. The radial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were found to be congruent when they were normalized by Re1/2. Furthermore, the radial profiles showed that the local coefficient takes on its minimum value at the stagnation point and increases with increasing radial distance from the center of the disk. At the outer edge of the disk, the coefficient is more than twice as large as that at the stagnation point. The theoretical predictions of the stagnation point heat transfer exceeded the experimental values by about 6 percent. This overprediction is similar to that which occurs for cylinders and spheres in crossflow.

Experiments on a system in which separation of a turbulent boundary layer occurred at a downward step in the surface of a plate and reattached on the plate downstream of the step have produced additional results for the local heat-transfer coefficient and for the velocity and temperature distribution in the separated and reattached regions of the flow. In neither region was there found the kind of similarity near the wall that characterizes flows that are dominated by the friction at the wall, so that even this first element of the usual rationalization of the heat transfer is unavailable for the interpretation of the results. The effect of suction or injection through a slot at the base of the step is also indicated and this demonstrates relatively small effects on both the pressure distribution and the local heat-transfer coefficient.

The local heat transfer coefficient of full-coverage film-cooled wall has been measured by using the law of analogy to mass transfer. For this experiment, the technique of sublimation of naphthalene was used. The geometric shape of FCFC plate and the experimental condition were the same as those in Part 1. From these experiments, the effects of the mass flux ratio and non-dimensional injection wall temperature ratio on the local Stanton number are made clear and it is confirmed experimentally that the local Stanton number is a linear function of non-dimensional temperature ratio as expected from the analysis. Furthermore, the local heat transfer coefficient on the backside surface has been obtained and a technique for the improvement of cooling effectiveness is discussed.

An experimental study is performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics and frictional losses in a rib roughened channel combined with detached pin-fins. The overall channel geometry (W = 76.2 mm, E = 25.4 mm) simulates an internal cooling passage of wide aspect ratio (3:1) in a gas turbine airfoil. With a given pin diameter, D = 6.35 mm = [1/4]E, three different pin-fin height-to-diameter ratios, H/D = 4, 3, and 2, were examined. Each of these three cases corresponds to a specific pin array geometry of detachment spacing (C) between the pin-tip and one of the endwalls, i.e., C/D = 0, 1, 2, respectively. The rib height-to-channel height ratio is 0.0625. Two newly proposed cross ribs, namely the broken rib and full rib are evaluated in this effort. The broken ribs are positioned in between two consecutive rows of pin-fins, while the full ribs are fully extended adjacent to the pin-fins. The Reynolds number, based on the hydraulic diameter of the unobstructed cross section and the mean bulk velocity, ranges from 10,000 to 25,000. The experiment employs a hybrid technique based on transient liquid crystal imaging to obtain distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient over all of the participating surfaces, including the endwalls and all pin elements. The presence of ribs enhances local heat transfer coefficient on the endwall substantially by approximately 20% to 50% as compared to the neighboring endwall. In addition, affected by the rib geometry, which is a relatively low profile as compared to the overall height of the channel, the pressure loss seems to be insensitive to the presence of the ribs. However, from the overall heat transfer enhancement standpoint, the baseline cases (without ribs) outperform cases with broken ribs or full ribs.
