Discussion of previous paper [Heat transfer to a pvd rotor blade at high subsonic passage throat mach numbers]

This paper reports heat-transfer measurements round a PVD rotor blade using a transient method. Instrumented syndanio-asbestos blades forming part of a cascade are suddenly introduced into a heated air stream, the temperature-time response of surface thermocouples attached to copper inserts in the blades then being used to determine local heat-transfer coefficients for (a) passage throat Mach numbers between 0.79 and 0.94 (b) turbulence intensities from 4.15 to 9.05 per cent (c) blade chord Reynolds numbers from 7.8 times 105 to 8.9 times 105.Measured transition lengths on the suction surface, over which the heat transfer nearly trebles, are somewhat short in relation to other measurements. The onset of transition, which is downstream of predictions for the higher Reynolds numbers but accords with the trends of existing correlations, is little influenced by turbulence intensity variations in the above range. Over the pressure surface the heat transfer is less than for a fully-turbulent boundary layer. Com...
