Frequently turbines are tested in a laboratory with coot air which has thermodynamic properties different from those of the hot gas for which the turbine is designed. This note presents methods for correcting such tests ...

The degree of cooling that might be achieved in gas-turbine blades with simple internal air-cooling is surveyed with a view to pin-pointing the essential requirements for effective cooling with small quantities of cooling ...

A method for calculation of the performance of conventional axial-flow turbines is presented. It makes use of data derived from the analysis of a large number of turbine tests and other associated test work reported ...
