ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses primarily on the heat-and mass transfer issues as they are applied to cooling of turbomachinery components, and the reader is expected to be familiar with fundamentals in these fields. A number of excellent books [1-7] can be recommended in reviewing these fundamentals, including Streeter, Fluid Dynamics, Eckert and Drake, Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer, Incropera and DeWitt, Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, Rohsenow and Hartnett, Handbook of Heat Transfer, Kays, Convective Heat and Mass Transfer, Schlichting, Boundary Layer Theory, and Shapiro, The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow.
