An experimental model for simulating the local primary flow field near the front of outer liner of annular slinger combustor was designed to study the effusion cooling performance. The surface temperature distribution on the perforated plate was measured by the infrared camera
and the effects of blowing ratio
effusion holes-array arrangement
hole diameter and perforated percentage on the overall cooling effectiveness were then compared. Three effusion holes-array arrangements including square-diamond mode
long-diamond mode and super-long-diamond mode were adopted. The hole diameter varied from 0.6mm to 1.0mm
the perforated percentage varied from 3% to 6% and the blowing ratio varied from 1 to 6. The results show that the overall cooling effectiveness increases firstly along the streamwise direction and then decreases downstream due to the existence of recirculation zone in the front of outer liner. The blowing ratio of 2 results in the highest overall cooling effectiveness and the long-diamond holes-array arrangement seems to be advantageous. The decrease of hole diameter is helpful for improving the overall cooling effectiveness under the same perforated percentage. When the perforated percentage increases from 3% to 4.8%
the overall cooling effectiveness is significantly enhanced.
