Cooling optimization theory - Part I: Optimum wall temperature, coolant exit temperature, and the effect of wall/film properties on performance

Gas turbine cooling system design is constrained by a maximum allowable wall temperature (dictated by the material and the life requirements of the component), minimum coolant mass flow rate (the requirement to minimize cycle-efficiency cost), and uniform wall temperature (to reduce thermal stresses...
