Modern jet engines reach very high combustion temperatures to achieve higher thermal efficiencies which can damage the turbine blades. Damage can occur in the turbine blade due to the temperature difference between the ...

Turbine inlet air temperatures may exceed the melting points of the turbine blade material. Proper cooling processes increase turbine blade durability as well as the engine efficiency by allowing higher combustion temperatures ...

The cooling system of the gas turbine blades plays a critical role in increasing the thermal efficiency and power output of advanced gas turbine engines. In fact, by increasing the heat transfer, the turbine blade can ...
