Unsteady Heat Transfer on the Turbine Research Facility at Wright Labs

Abstract

Steady-state and time resolved heat transfer rates were measured on a first stage vane of a modern high pressure aircraft turbine. The tests were conducted in the blow-down (transient) Turbine Research Facility (TRF) at the USAF Wright Laboratories in Dayton, Ohio. The heat transfer instrumentation was designed, fabricated, and installed on the test vane at the Oxford University Osney Turbomachinery Laboratory. Tests were conducted in the TRF with an array of instrumental blades in addition to the present test blade allowing comparisons to be made with steady and unsteady measurements, aerodynamic data, and other techniques to measure heat transfer. Ultimately, comparisons with prediction techniques were made. Full technical results have been reported in the literature (Refs. 1, 2).
