(a) Mist Flow
(b)Air-only film cooling
(c) Mist film cooling
This figure shows the effect of injecting tiny water droplets (10μm) into a Fluidic Oscillator to provide a layer of cooling film to protect airfoil surface from hot gas intrusion in a gas turbine system. (a) Smaller droplets can be seen being coalesced into bigger droplets inside the Fluidic Oscillator. After injection, the droplets are seen to break into two groups sweeping over the surface with a phase lag behind the air flow, which helps to make surface cooling more uniform with reduced thermal stresses. Mist cooling in (c) is about 120% more effective than air-only cooling shown in (b).
(a) Wet paper webs are dried over rotating cylinders by injecting steam into the dryer. The condensate is siphoned out via either a stationary or rotating siphon. (b) Simulation of condensate rimming inside a rotating dryer.
