How to Evaluate Cooling Effectiveness?

Cooling Effectiveness evaluator uses Cooling Effectiveness = (Temperature of Hot Gas Stream-Temperature of Metal)/(Temperature of Hot Gas Stream-Temperature of Cooling Air) to evaluate the Cooling Effectiveness, Cooling Effectiveness in simple terms is the efficiency of the engine's cooling system. Increased value of Cooling Effectiveness enables greater firing temperatures, resulting in a net increase in gas turbine power production and efficiency. Cooling Effectiveness is denoted by ε symbol.

How to evaluate Cooling Effectiveness using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Cooling Effectiveness, enter Temperature of Hot Gas Stream (Tg), Temperature of Metal (Tm) & Temperature of Cooling Air (Tc) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Cooling Effectiveness

What is the formula to find Cooling Effectiveness?
The formula of Cooling Effectiveness is expressed as Cooling Effectiveness = (Temperature of Hot Gas Stream-Temperature of Metal)/(Temperature of Hot Gas Stream-Temperature of Cooling Air). Here is an example- 0.649351 = (1400-900)/(1400-630).
How to calculate Cooling Effectiveness?
With Temperature of Hot Gas Stream (Tg), Temperature of Metal (Tm) & Temperature of Cooling Air (Tc) we can find Cooling Effectiveness using the formula - Cooling Effectiveness = (Temperature of Hot Gas Stream-Temperature of Metal)/(Temperature of Hot Gas Stream-Temperature of Cooling Air).
