This could represent a model of a turbine blade with internal cooling. Figure 17.6 shows the
configuration.
which is the heat transfer per unit area to the fluid. The heat transfer in fluid 2 is similarly given
by
The quantity
is the same in all of these expressions. Putting them all together to write the
known overall temperature drop yields a relation between heat transfer and overall temperature
drop,

Equation (17.21) is the thermal resistance for a solid wall with convection heat transfer on each
side.
For a turbine blade in a gas turbine engine, cooling is a critical consideration. In terms of

Using the expression for the thermal resistance, the wall temperatures can be expressed in terms
of heat transfer coefficients and wall properties as

Equation (17.23) provides some basic design guidelines. The goal is to have a low value of

low (for example, to flow cooling air out as in Figure 17.1 to shield the surface).
A second example of combined conduction and convection is given by a cylinder exposed to a
flowing fluid. The geometry is shown in Figure 17.7.
The boundary condition at the inner surface could be either a heat flux condition or a temperature
specification; we use the latter to simplify the algebra. Thus,

If is less than this, we can add insulation and increase heat loss. To understand why this
occurs, consider Figure 17.8, which shows a schematic of the thermal resistance and the heat
transfer. As increases from a value less than
, two effects take place. First, the
thickness of the insulation increases, tending to drop the heat transfer because the temperature
gradient decreases. Secondly, the area of the outside surface of the insulation increases, tending
to increase the heat transfer. The second of these is (loosely) associated with the
first with the

That is, with increasing flow rate , the amount of hot fluid power efficiency will also decrease .
