Analytical Comparison of a Gas Turbine Blade Cooling Using Wet and Dry Air
Abstract: Air cooling is widely used technique to shield the turbine aerofoils against hot flue gases. The cooling of a gas turbine blade using wet air and dry air as a coolant is analytically investigated. The investigation is carried out considering effect of rotation for inward and outward flow of coolant. Wet air cooling performance is compared with dry air cooling. It has been observed that wet air provides better cooling …
