The book is devoted to investigation of a series of problems of convective heat and mass
transfer in rotating-disk systems. Such systems are widespread in scientific and engineering …

This paper presents an experimental investigation of heat transfer enhancement capabilities
of coolants with suspended nanoparticles (Al2O3 dispersed in water) inside a radial flow …

Pre-swirl system has an indispensable role to supply enough cooling air with appropriate
pressure, temperature, and mass flow rate to improve the life and the efficiency of turbine …

The pre-swirl system has the ability to decrease the air supply temperature so as to improve
the cooling performance and the operating life for turbine rotating blade. In this paper, a test …

Pre-swirl nozzles are used to deliver the cooling air to the rotating turbine blades in the
cooling systems of gas turbine engines. This paper considers the case where the cooling air …

It is common practice to employ thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) to determine heat
transfer coefficients, h, in transient experiments. The method relies on the solution of …

In a “direct-transfer” pre-swirl supply system, cooling air flows axially across the wheel-space
from stationary pre-swirl nozzles to receiver holes located at a similar radius in the rotating …

The present review is intended to encompass the English language heat transfer papers
published in 1999. The papers have been placed into a number of subject categories. While …

Rotating‐disc systems are used to model the flow and heat transfer that occurs inside the
cooling‐air systems of gas‐turbine engines. In this paper, recent computational and …

Direct transfer pre-swirl systems have been investigated by means of 3D computational
analysis. Different computational approaches have been utilized and results have been …
