A major objective in advancing gas turbine technologies is to increase the temperature limit associated with operation
of the turbine blades. For example, it is common to use internal cooling by including flow channels within the blades
and routing air through the channels. We wish to assess the effect of such a scheme by approximating the blade as a
rectangular solid with rectangular channels. The blade, which has a thermal conductivity of k = 25 W /m · K, is 6 mm
thick, and each channel has a 2 mm × 6 mm rectangular cross section, with a 4-mm spacing between adjoining
channels. Under operating conditions for which ho = 1000 W/m2 · K, T0,0 = 1700 K, hi = 200 W/m² · K, and To,i =
400 K, determine the temperature field in the turbine blade and the rate of heat transfer per unit length to the
channel. At what location is the temperature a maximum?
