Numerous methods are conceived to pick up the heat from hot plats, where, amidst all, film cooling methods possess several benefits and have always been considered. However, increasing the cooling effectiveness of this method while reducing the coolant mass flow rate has always been considered one of the concerns, and much literature has yet to be presented to surmount this problem. In this study, three different novel jet configurations including simple, semi-mushroom, and semi-oval jet types are proposed to boost the effectiveness of the film cooling method while the mass rate is drastically lower compared to the traditional jet types. Instead of using the traditional film jet that usually blows the coolant flow at a 30-90-degree angle, it can be changed so that the coolant is wholly blown in the mainstream path, simultaneously reducing the mixing ratio and increasing the diffusion of coolant film. Meantime, the arc-shaped jet design can increase the surface coverage by the coolant fluid, especially in the transverse direction. This innovative concept is also reckoned for in this study by presenting computational simulation using the k − ω − SST turbulence model, which has some superiority for turbulent near wall flows. The results showed that at BR=0.5 and x/d=5, the proposed novel jet (simple type) achieved a 17.9% improvement in averaged cooling effectiveness compared to regular jets, while utilizing a coolant mass flow rate ten times lower. Also, it found that contrary to the results related to regular jets, the averaged cooling effectiveness increases with the increment of blowing ratio in innovative proposed jet types. |
