Description
Summary:2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and infinity, and mass flow rates
are conducted to determine the streamwise distributions of
cooling channels in stator blades of gas turbines. The

curved wall-to-smooth flat wall heat flux ratio of 0.0, 1.0,
Experiments are conducted to study the effects of channel

heat transfer between the ribs on the curved wall.
heat transfer maps are also obtained from transient
height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio of 0.0625. The rib array
indicate that the effect of wall heat flux ratio gradually
is only mildly dependent on the channel cross-sectional
leading edge cooling channels are modeled as straight
number ratio and relative thermal performance for the curved
