Abstract
Wedged latticework is a competitive cooling scheme to resolve the ultra-high thermal load in the trailing edge of modern gas turbine blade. Its performance is closely related to numerous structural parameters, making heat transfer prediction a complicated issue. This paper built a GA-BP neural network for the purpose of fast predicting heat transfer coefficient of wedged latticework cooling channel. Upon analyzing the influence of wedge angle (α), rib-cross angle (β), rib-to-spacing ratio (t/Wt) and height of channel entrance (H1) on heat transfer coefficient h, an orthogonal design database is established which is then used as the training set to optimize the BP network based on genetic algorithm (GA). The network is validated by experimental measurement on a wind tunnel test facility. The results indicated that GA-BP network can reach an accuracy of 91.200 %, better than the 87.689 % accuracy of BP network. Furthermore, the proposed GA-BP network owns superior model stability and generalization, making faster heat transfer prediction and more convenient cooling design.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
