Abstract

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study for the transpiration through perforated plates. Water was used as the coolant to absorb heat by vaporization as it is drawn along the surface by the hot mainstream air. The experiments were performed in a wind tunnel with test plates mounted at the center line of the test section. The rate of mass transfer during a data run was determined by direct weightings of the test elements before and after the run. The object of this study was to provide a better understanding for the transpiration cooling and to set up a computer program in FORTRAN language encompassing the analytical treatment of transpiration cooling to help the researches in this field.
