On the conjugate heat transfer method: Numerical study and an application case of optimization for a gas turbine transition piece cooling

Gas turbines (GT) play a crucial role in the transition to fully sustainable energy. Conversely, the expected growth of the GT market is met with more stringent regulatory requirements. Clearly, an increasing turbine inlet temperature (TIT) is beneficial for the efficiency of GT cycles. With increasing TIT, however, the magnitude of the thermal...
