Technical Evaluation Report Part B - Heat Transfer and Cooling in Propulsion and Power Systems
Abstract
The purpose of the meeting was to give an overview on the latest results of heat transfer and cooling in propulsion and powersystems and to enable the exchange between experts from universities, research organisations and industry. This objective has been achieved in terms of gas turbines. A large number of papers has been presented dealing with heat transfer in gas turbines and here the most discussed part is still the cooled airfoil. The precise knowledge of heat transfer is a precondition for proper cooling and hence improved effectiveness of the gas turbine. The prediction of heat transfer by analytical means remains difficult. Further research is necessary. In terms of non gas turbine applications, e.g. heat transfer and cooling in internal combustion engines or rockets the contribution was very low. Future symposia should either concentrate on heat transfer in gas turbine or take measures to make the event more attractive also for other power systems. However since there is no clear synergy effect between gas turbines and other power systems it is recommended to limit future symposia on gas turbines.
