Abstract
Excerpt: The following experimental work described here entails the investigation by infrared thermography (IRT) of full-scale flat plates intended to model the pressure side (PS) of a modern fully-cooled turbine inlet vane called the High-Impact Technologies (HIT) Research Turbine Vane (RTV). The imaging system is used to make detailed full-coverage, two-dimensional, steady-state measurements of flat plate surface temperature. The PS has a total of 282 film cooling holes including three rows of showerhead holes near the leading edge and a handful of rows downstream depending on the design.
