Gas turbine heat transfer and cooling technology

Intended as a comprehensive reference source for engineers and researchers, this is the first book to focus on gas turbine heat transfer issues and the associated cooling technologies for both aircraft and land-based gas turbine engines. Among the highlights of the book are: a discussion of gas turbine heat transfer problems and the need for turbine cooling schemes; provides information on state-of- the-art cooling technology such as turbine blade internal cooling; offers modern experimental methods for gas turbine heat transfer and cooling study; addresses advanced numerical modelling for gas turbine heat transfer and cooling performance predictions; and gives suggestions for future research in this critical technology.
