... of the effect of high inlet swirl on the heat transfer characteristics of HP rotor and casing has been conducted. Experiments were performed in a rotating transonic turbine facility, which was modified to incorporate an inlet swirl generator which replicated typical low-NOx combustor exit conditions...

... heat transfer aerothermodynamics HP rotor rotor casing The mainstream gas temperature at the inlet of the high pressure turbine of modern gas turbine engine is around 1600 ° C , considerably higher than the melting point of the metal. To enable turbine blades to survive...
