Water spray spatial distribution by novel optical measurement for cooling suction air of gas turbine and its influence on cooling performance

Air cooling performance and water spray characteristics are experimentally evaluated to obtain the basic knowledge for the suction air cooling of power plant. Novel optical measurement technique is proposed for measuring spatial number density of water droplet and water quantity in the air flow. The...
