Abstract
The objective of my research is to create a system that will reduce the thermal damage that affects turbines as the power output increases. This has been an increasing issue within the aeronautics engineering field. Our solution is to apply film cooling, a form of cooling which works by creating a layer of dense gas over the turbine blades. This will create a protective layer to avoid damage to the blades. Increasing the effectiveness of film cooling will help the overall performance of turbine and analyzing the results of this research will provide a greater understanding of how film cooling works. In this study, the overall coverage of the film cooling gas over the turbine vanes will be investigated to determine the efficiency of the gas. The results can be used to determine if the orientation of the holes or the gas used were effective in creating enough of a basis for protection.
