The heat transfer analysis of gas turbine blades using air or steam as coolants is investigated under various operating conditions. A general model of the combined system is developed and is used to compare the performance of three main schemes of the blade cooling, namely air-cooling, open-circuit steam cooling (OCSC) and closed-loop steam cooling (CLSC). The heat transfer model permitted the calculations...
