Non-circular Pin Fin Row Pilot Study Of Heat Transfer And Flow Characteristics

Short pin-fin arrays are often used for the cooling of turbine airfoils, particularly in the trailing edge. The effects of pin shape and array configuration on the heat transfer and pressure drop of short pin-fin arrays have been investigated experimentally.Pressure drop and temperature distributions on the endwall of cube-shaped, diamond-shaped and waterdrop-shaped pin-fin arrays were studied for 10000
