Description

Film cooling effectiveness can be measured by thermal and mass transfer analysis. We have designed and developed a flat plate adiabatic wind tunnel facility to study film cooling effectiveness of selected film hole geometries by mass transfer analysis using a heavy gas (CO2 ) as a substitute for the coolant, measuring the mixing by both gas sampling and full field measurements by an optical measurement technique using pressure/oxygen sensitive paint .
