Most of modem aerospace gas turbines must be operated at a gas temperature which is several hundreds of degrees higher than the melting temperatures of the materials used in their construction. Complicated cooling schemes need to be employed in the combustor walls and in the high pressure turbine stages. Internal passages are cast or machined into the hot sections of aero-gas turbine engines and air from the compressor is used for cooling. In many cases, the cooling system is engineered to utilize jets of high velocity air, which impinge on the internal surfaces of the components. They are categorized as 'Impinging Cooling Method' and 'Vortex Cooling Method'. Specially, research of new cooling system(Vortex Cooling Method) that overcomes inefficiency of film cooling and limitation of space. The focus of new cooling system that improves greatly cooling efficiency using less amount of cooling air on surface heat transfer elevation. Therefore, in this study, a numerical analysis has been peformed for characteristics of flow and heat transfer in the swirl chamber and compared with the flow measurements by LDV. Especially, for understanding high heat transfer efficiency in the vicinity of wall, we considered flow structure, vortex mechanism and heat transfer characteristics with variation of the Reynolds number.

In this report, the heat transfer model of spray cooling on hot surface was developed by focusing on the effect of rebound motion of droplets. In the model, it was assumed that droplets rebound repeatedly on the hot surface and heat transfer upon droplet impact is proportional to sensible heat which heats up the droplets to the saturation temperature. In addition, to take account of the contribution of th heat flux upon impact of rebound droplets, it was assumed that the rebound droplets are distributed following the Gaussian distribution from 0 to L, which distance L is determined by maximum flight distance $L_{max}$. Also the calculated results were compared with existing experimental results.

Employing the Phan-Thien tanner (PTT) fluids model, dynamic behavior of the non-isothermal melt spinning has been investigated. Subjects such as draw resonance instability, the effects of spinline cooling and of the fluid viscoelasticity on the spinning dynamics have been studied using the governing equations of the system. In particular, the draw resonance criterion based on the traveling times of various kinematic waves in the spinline has been confirmed, the reason why the spinline cooling is stabilizing is analyzed, and the effect of fluid viscoelasticity on the spinline stability is summarized. It is believed that the same method as in this study can be applied with equal ease to other extension deformation processes like film casting and film blowing.

Single-shot laser damage of thin Cr films on glass substrates has been studied to understand the cracking and peeling-off mechanism. A numerical model is developed for the calculation of transient heat transfer and thermal stresses in Cr films during excimer laser irradiation and cooling, the transient temperature, and the stress-strain fields are analyzed by using a three-dimensional finite-element model of heat flow. According to the numerical analysis for the experimentally determined cracking and peeling-off conditions, cracking is found to be the result of the tensile brittle fracture due to the excessive thermal stresses formed during the cooling process, while peeling-off is found to be the combined result of films bulging from the softened glass surface at higher temperature and the tensile brittle fracture during the cooling process.

The water level and temperature properties for the cooling system of potassium titanyl phosphate laser systems were observed. The middle point of the GMR-SV magnetoresistance curve is set in the neighborhood of high magnetic sensitivity (2.8 %/Oe). The experimental results for resistance dependence on water height and temperature showed linear regions with rates of 0.4 ${\Omega}/mm$ and 0.1 ${\Omega}/^{\circ}C$, respectively. The proposed results were found to be for adjusting the water level and temperature in the laser cooling system.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics within a rectangular film cooling hole of normal injection angle for various blowing ratios and Reynolds numbers. The results are compared with those for the square hole. The experiments have been performed using a naphthalene sublimation method and the flow field has been analyzed by numerical calculation using a commercial code (FLUENT). The heat/mass transfer around the hole entrance region is enhanced considerably due to the reattachment of separated flow and the vortices generated within the hole. At the hole exit region, the heat/mass transfer increases because the main flow induces a secondary vortex. It is observed that the overall heat/mass transfer characteristics are similar to those for the square hole. However, the different heat/mass transfer patterns come out due to increased aspect ratio. Unlike the square hole, the heat/mass transfer on the trailing edge side of hole entrance region has two peak regions due to split flow reattachment, and heat/mass transfer on the hole exit region is less sensitive to the blowing ratios than the square hole.

A new air-cooled waste heat removal system with a direct contact heat exchanger was designed for SMRs requiring 200 MW of waste heat removal. Conventional air-cooled systems use fin structure causing high thermal resistance; therefore, a large cooling tower is required. The new design replaces the fin structure with a vertical string type direct contact heat exchanger which has the most effective performance among tested heat exchangers in a previous study. The design results showed that the new system requires a cooling tower 50% smaller than that of the conventional system. However, droplet formation on a falling film along a string caused by Rayleigh-Plateau instability decreases heat removal performance of the new system. Analysis of Rayleigh-Plateau instability considering drag force on the falling film surface was developed. The analysis results showed that the instability can be prevented by providing thick string. The instability is prevented when the string radius exceeds the capillary length of liquid by a factor of 0.257 under stagnant air and 0.260 under 5 m/s air velocity.

This study presents experimental results on the heat transfer coefficients in the film boiling region of spray cooling for actual metallurgical process. In this study, the heat flux distributions of a two dimensional dilute spray impinging on a hot plate were experimentally investigated. A stainless steel block was cooled down from intial temperature of about $800^{\circ}C$ by twin fluid (air-water) flat spray. It was found from the experimental results that the heat transfer area was classified into the stagnation region and wall-flow region. In the stagnation region, the experimental data of local heat transfer coefficient was closely correlated with the local droplet-flow-rate supplied from the spray nozzle directly. Thus, the local heat transfer coefficients are in good agreement with the predicted values from the correlations proposed by our previous study. In wall-flow region, however, remarkable differences are observed between experimental data and predicted values because the number of rebound droplets increase with increasing the distance from the stagnation point.

The mixing characteristics of pylon injection in a Scramjet combustor and effects of film cooling to protect pylon from air-heating were investigated. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model were used. Fuel hydrogen and air were considered as coolants. There were remarkable improvements of penetration and mixing rate with the pylon injection. There was also over-heating on the front surface of the pylon without film cooling. The coolant injected parallel to the front surface of the pylon protects the pylon from over-heating.

The local heat flux of spray cooling in the film boiling region were experimentally investigated for the spray region of $D_{max}$ = $0.005{\sim}0.03m^3/(m^2s)$. A twin-fluid full cone spray nozzle was employed for the experiment and the distributions of droplet flow rates were obtained for air-water full cone sprays. A stainless steel block was cooled down from initial temperature of about $800^{\circ}C$ by full cone spray. In the region near the stagnation point, it was found that the experimental data are in good agreement with the results predicted from the correlations between the local heat transfer and the local droplet flow rate proposed in the previous report. However, it was found that the experimental data of $D_r$ > $0.01m^3/(m^2s)$ are a little smaller than the results predicted from the correlations.
