Calculating Compassion: Humanity and Relief in War, Britain 1870–1914

by Rebecca Gill (1952)

Abstract: Local and average blade temperatures were calculated for two stationary air-cooled turbine blades with 10 tubes and 13 fins forming the internal heat-transfer surfaces. These temperatures were calculated using previously published NACA temperature-distribution equations and the most recent theories for determining heat-transfer coefficients, including for the first time the allowance for effects of variable wall temperature on gas-to-blade heat-transfer coefficients at the leading and trailing sections of turbine blades. Comparison of calculated and experimental blade temperatures, for gas temperatures of 300° and 1000°F, resulted in good agreement.
