Measured overall effusion cooling effectiveness over a wide blowing ratio range using infrared imaging

Experimental investigations were performed on the overall cooling effectiveness η of a flat effusion wall over a wide range of blowing ratio(M=0.47～5.27).The effusion wall had a staggered multi-hole pattern typical of gas turbine combustor application,with a ratio of hole pitch to row spacing P/S=1∶2,a porosity PS/d2=72,and an inclination angle α=30°.The current paper documented distribution of the overall cooling effectiveness on the wall surface,based on infrared imaging of the 2-D surface temperature field.Experimental results indicate:(1) The overall η increases along with the streamwise distance for the wide range of M due to the superposition effect of the multi-row film cooling.(2) The overall η substantially benefits from the multi-hole inside convective cooling.The hole convective cooling not only complements the weakest film protection at initial rows but also helps mitigate the temperature gradient.(3) The overall η increases asymptotically with increasing M,unlike adiabatic η mostly published in the past,which decreased after M reached a specific level.The current work showcased the end cooling outcome jointly driven by the filming cooling mechanism and the hole inside convective cooling mechanism.

Overall Thermal Performances of Double-Wall Effusion Cooling Covered by Simulated Thermal Barrier Coatings

A coupling configuration of double-wall cooling and exterior surface thermal barrier coating(TBC)is one of the most promising thermal protection methods of hot components of modem gas turbine.The combined influences of coating thickness,impingement layout,and cooling air flowrate on the overall thermal performances of such configuration were discussed deeply,to provide the valuable guidance of design.Overall effectiveness measurements were implemented under engine-matched Biot numbers and mainstream-to-coolant temperature ratio.Conjugate heat transfer simulations provided the additional information difficult to be acquired by the measurements.The results indicated that the contribution of TBC is much larger than that of increasing the cooling air amount.The thicker TBC can produce the stronger insulation,while the higher risk of thermal damage of itself.The larger coolant flowrate enlarges the benefit of TBC,while the trend is suppressed by the thick TBC.The constant coating thickness cannot bring to the uniform metal temperature,which can be solved through properly adjusting the backside impingement.The trends in overall effectiveness with TBC’s thickness are independent on the change of internal impingement.

Experimental Study on Impingement and Film Overall Cooling Characteristics of Turbine Shroud

Based on the variable characteristics of the actual operating conditions of the turbine shroud and the purpose of improving the cooling effect of the turbine shroud,this paper builds a test system of the impingement-film cooling shroud with two gas inlet angles(90°,167°).The effects of film cooling hole arrangement,gas inlet angle,blowing ratio(0.7,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0)and temperature ratio(1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6)on the cooling characteristics of the impingement-film cooling shroud were experimentally studied by infrared temperature measurement technology,especially the effects of gas inlet angle and temperature ratio.The results showed that the film covering effect of the film cooling hole vertical or the same direction of the high-temperature gas incoming flow is better than the film covering effect of the reverse direction with the incoming flow,and the optimal arrangement of film cooling holes can improve the cooling effectiveness of the shroud.Compared with 90°intake gas,the film coverage area on the shroud surface of the 167°intake gas is expanded,and the surface average overall cooling effectiveness is increased by 1.03%to 12.6%.The overall cooling effectiveness of turbine shroud increases with the increase of blowing ratio,which increases the flow rate and pressure of cooling gas,and the corresponding increase rate is between 1.04%and 9.96%.However,the increase in the temperature ratio increases the mainstream heating capacity,resulting in a decrease in the cooling effectiveness of the shroud,with a maximum reduction rate of 11.04%.

Investigation of the Conjugate Heat Transfer and Flow Field for a Flat Plate with Combined Film and Impingement Cooling

Film cooling combined with internal impingement cooling is one of the most effective technologies to protect the gas turbine vanes and blades from the hot gas. In this study, conjugate heat transfer CFD study was undertaken for a flat plate with combined film cooling and impingement cooling. An experiment on conjugate heat transfer of a flat plate with combined film and impingement cooling was performed to validate the code. Then the effects of several parameters including Biot number, blowing ratio, film hole shape and impingement hole diameter on the overall cooling effectiveness were numerically studied. The results show that for a specific combined cooling scheme and a given blowing ratio, the coolant potential can be reasonably allocated to the internal and the external cooling to achieve the overall cooling effectiveness. As the blowing ratio increases, the overall cooling effectiveness trends to reach a maximum value. For different film hole geometrical, the maximum values of the overall cooling effectiveness at high blowing ratio approximate to the same value. At a given mass flow rate of coolant, the increase of the impingement hole diameter leads to the reduction of the overall cooling effectiveness.

交互联合上的国际进步和评估在都市化和 eco 环境之间完成

Global urbanization is exerting severe stress and having far-reaching impacts on the eco-environment, and yet there exists a complex non-linear coupling relationship between the two. Research on the interactive coupling effect between urbanization and the eco-environment will be a popular area of study and frontier in international earth system science and sustainability science in the next 10 years, while also being a high-priority research topic of particular interest to international organizations. This paper systematically collates and summarizes the international progress made in research on interactive coupling theory, coupling relationships, coupling mechanisms, coupling laws, coupling thresholds, coupling models and coupling optimization decision support systems. The research shows that urbanization and eco-environment interactive coupling theories include the Kuznets curve theory, telecoupling theory, planetary boundaries theory, footprint family theory and urban metabolism theory; most research on interactive coupling relationships is concerned with single- element coupling relationships, such as those between urbanization and water, land, atmosphere, climate change, ecosystems and biodiversity; the majority of research on interactive coupling mechanisms and laws focuses on five research paradigms, including coupled human and nature systems, complex social-ecological systems, urban ecosystems, social-economic-natural complex ecosystems, and urbanization development and eco-environment constraint ring; the majority of interactive coupling simulations use STIRPAT models, coupling degree models, multi-agent system models and big data urban computer models; and research has been carried out on urbanization and eco-environment coupling thresholds, coercing risk and optimal decision support systems. An objective evaluation of progress in international research on interactive coupling between urbanization and the eco-environment suggests that there are six main research focal points and six areas lacking research： a lot of research exists on macroscopic coupling effects, with little research on urban agglomeration and scale coupling effects; considerable research exists on sin-gle-dimension coupling effects, with little on multiple-dimension coupling effects; a great deal exists on ＂one-to-one＂ dual- element coupling effects, with little on ＂many-to-many＂ multiple-element coupling effects; a lot exists on positive feedback coupling effects, and little on negative feedback coupling effects; a great deal exists on empirical coupling effects, and little on theoretical coupling effects; a great deal exists on the use of simple quantitative methods, and little on using integrated simulation methods. Future studies should focus on coupling effects between urbanization in urban agglomerations and the eco-environment, spatial scale coupling effects, multi-dimensional coupling effects, telecoupling effects, ＂one-to-many＂ and ＂many-to-many＂ element coupling effects, and positive and negative feedback coupling effects. There is also a need to strengthen the development and application of dynamic models for multi-element,-scale,-scenario,-module and-agent integrated spatiotemporal coupling systems and further improve theoretical innovations in coupling effect research and integrate and form complete and diverse coupling theoretical systems.

Incorporating Variation and Quality of the Underlying Effects in Meta-Analysis

This paper proposes a model to further explore the effects of the quality information and variation of the underlying effects on the summary effect measure in meta-analysis.A shape parameter is used in this model to quantify the asymmetry of the effect sizes of studies that are included.Estimation of the proposed model parameters is carried out by the Bayesian MCMC method.Performances of the resultant estimates are examined in the simulations and empirical case with data obtained from a total of 22 meta-analyses taken from three different designs.A conclusion would be drawn that it is advisable to take the proposed model,when quality information becomes available,in particular with a situation where the underlying effects approximately follow a normal distribution.If,however,the quality information is absent,the skew-normal distribution for random effect model should be adopted.
