  • Method for determining time-resolved heat transfer coefficient and adiabatic effectiveness waveforms with unsteady film cooling
    Patent number: 9316547
    Abstract: A new method for determining heat transfer coefficient (h) and adiabatic effectiveness (?) waveforms h(t) and ?(t) from a single test uses a novel inverse heat transfer methodology to use surface temperature histories obtained using prior art approaches to approximate the h(t) and ?(t) waveforms. The method best curve fits the data to a pair of truncated Fourier series.
