HEAT-TRANSFER IN A ROTOR-STATOR SYSTEM WITH A RADIAL INFLOW

The present work examines the turbulent flow in a rotor-stator system subjected to a radial inflow and heat transfer effects. In the scope o f this study, compressibility can be neglected which leads us to disso ciate the heat transfer process from the dynamical effects. A method f or making simultaneous temperature and velocity measurements is used t o provide qualitative and quantitative data. An analysis of the result s and comparisons with a theoretical prediction issued from an asympto tical formulation brings typical properties of the flow to light.
