Scientific paper

This paper describes a combined theoretical and experimental investigation into the heat transfer from a disk rotating close to a stator with a radial outflow of coolant. Experimental results are obtained from a 762 mm diameter disk, rotating up to 4000 rev/min at axial clearances from 2 to 230 mm from a stator of the same diameter, with coolant flow rates up to 0.7 kg/s. Mean Nusselt numbers are presented for the free disk, the disk rotating close to an unshrouded stator with no coolant outflow, the disk rotating close to a shrouded and unshrouded stator with coolant outflow, and for the unshrouded stator itself. Numerical solutions of the turbulent boundary layer equations are in satisfactory agreement with the experimentally determined mean Nusselt numbers for the air-cooled disk over a wide range of conditions. At large ratios of mass flow rate/rotational speed the mean Nusselt numbers for the air-cooled disk are independent of rotation, and both the numerical solutions and experimental results become asymptotic to an approximate solution of the boundary layer equations.
