Cooling design

The incorporation of the above blade cooling concepts into actual blade designs is very important. The most frequently used blade cooling designs are ... 

The temperature distributions for film and convection cooling design are shown in Fig. 29-32. From the coohng distribution diagram, the hottest section can be seen to be the trailing edge. The web, which is the most highly stressed blade pai t, is also the coolest part of the blade.

This design has the highest creep life next to a transpiration-cooled design, and it has the best strain distribution between leading and trailing edges. It is the closest to optimum.

The principal areas where cooling design is affected by environmental requirements are visual and audible (i.e. aesthetic (plume) and noise).

The efficiency of this preprototype device was low due principally to the thermal mass of the copper buss bars, convection losses associated with the air cooled design and radiation losses at the high operating temperatures. Current work is directed at staged compressors (more than one alloy) operating over smaller temperature ranges supplied by a liquid heat transfer media.

Heat of Nitration. The nitration reaction must be controlled by systematic cooling designed to withdraw the energy evolved. When all the energy set free by an exothermic reaction is forced to appear as heat, the quantity of it lost to the cooling mechanism equals the decrease in enthalpy ... 

The manufacturer can use standard tank and cooling designs that would normally be used for transformers.
