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.
