3.3.29 · D3 · Physics › Rocket Propulsion › Film cooling — effectiveness, coverage fraction
Parent note Film cooling ne tumhe do formulas di thi. Yeh page unhe har us situation ke against stress-test karta hai jo ek real chamber (ya exam) tumhare saamne phenk sakta hai: normal case, do extremes (η = 0 aur η = 1 ), "film already dead" case, weird inputs (zero coolant, bahut zyada coolant), ek real word problem, aur ek exam twist jo ek variable chhupaata hai. Agar tum yeh sab walk kar sako, toh film cooling ke baare mein kuch bhi tumhe surprise nahi kar sakta.
Shuru karne se pehle, woh do tools jo hum baar baar use karte rahenge, simple words mein restate kiye gaye hain taaki koi bhi symbol unexplained na rahe:
Definition Protected length
x p r o t
Injection slot se woh distance jahan tak film abhi bhi design floor η min meet karti hai — yaani, sabse bada x jiske liye η ( x ) ≥ η min . Decay law mein η ( x p r o t ) = η min set karke aur exponential ko ln se unwrap karke:
x p r o t = h g m ˙ c c p ln η min 1
Words mein: yeh figure ke middle panel par shaded orange band ki width hai. x p r o t ke baad film floor se neeche gir chuki hai aur ek nayi slot ko zimmedaari leni padti hai. Coverage fraction sirf yeh length divided by chamber length hai, f = x p r o t / L .
Definition Usi effectiveness ko padhne ke do tarike
Blend formula ko invert karke η ko temperatures se padhaa ja sakta hai. Blend se shuru karo aur η ke liye solve karo:
T a w = ( 1 − η ) T h o t + η T coo l = T h o t − η ( T h o t − T coo l )
T h o t ko move karo aur ( T h o t − T coo l ) se divide karo:
η = T h o t − T coo l T h o t − T a w
Words mein: η yeh hai ki wall ko hot gas se kitna pull down kiya gaya hai, poore hot-to-cool gap ke fraction ke roop mein . Yeh bilkul wahi equation hai jaise blend — bas rearrange ki gayi hai — isliye ek ke baare mein jo bhi sach hai woh doosre ke baare mein bhi sach hai. Hum is inverted form ko Ex 8 mein use karte hain.
Har film-cooling problem inhi cells mein se ek hai. Neeche ke examples us cell ke saath tagged hain jo woh cover karte hain.

Koi bhi numbers se pehle, master figure dekho. Yeh teeno ideas ek saath visually dikhata hai, aur har worked example uske ek piece ki taraf point karta hai.
Left panel (the blend): T coo l (neeche) se T h o t (upar) tak ka ek vertical thermometer. Magenta dot T a w hai; jaise η 0 se 1 tak slide karta hai, woh dot hot top se neeche cool bottom ki taraf slide karta hai. Yeh Ex 1 aur Ex 2 hai — wall temperature sirf yeh hai ki dot kahan baitha hai.
Middle panel (the decay): magenta curve η ( x ) = e − h g x / ( m ˙ c c p ) jo 1 se shuru hoti hai aur 0 ki taraf sagging karti hai. Violet dashed line floor η min hai; jahan curve use cross karti hai (orange line) woh x p r o t hai; shaded orange area protected stretch hai. Yeh Ex 3–6 hai.
Right panel (coverage cost): coverage f ko floor η min ke against plot kiya gaya hai. Notice karo ki yeh plunge karta hai jab tum stricter floor demand karte ho — log curvature. Yeh Ex 7 hai.
Worked example Example 1 — Cell A: normal blend, wall temperature nikalo
T h o t = 3200 K, T coo l = 800 K, aur kisi station par η = 0.35 . T a w nikalo.
Forecast: guess karo — kya wall 800 ke kareeb hogi ya 3200 ke? (Sirf 35% protected, isliye hot ki taraf lean karo.)
Blend likho. T a w = ( 1 − η ) T h o t + η T coo l .
Yeh step kyun? η define kiya gaya hai "hot se cool ki taraf fraction", isliye yeh cool stream par weight ke roop mein appear hona chahiye — yeh figure ke left panel par magenta dot hai.
Plug in karo. T a w = ( 0.65 ) ( 3200 ) + ( 0.35 ) ( 800 ) = 2080 + 280 = 2360 K.
Yeh step kyun? Weights 0.65 aur 0.35 ka sum 1 hai — ek true weighted average, kabhi bhi [ 800 , 3200 ] ke bahar nahi. Thermometer par dot top se 35% neeche baitha hai.
Verify: 2360 lies between 800 aur 3200 ke beech ✓, aur yeh midpoint (2000 ) ke hot side par hai, hamara forecast match karta hai kyunki η < 0.5 . Units: sab Kelvin ✓.
Worked example Example 2 — Cells B & C: ek saath do extremes
Same T h o t = 3200 K, T coo l = 800 K. T a w nikalo jab (B) η = 1 aur (C) η = 0 .
Forecast: sabse thandi aur sabse garam walls jo film de sakti hai.
Case B, η = 1 : T a w = ( 0 ) ( 3200 ) + ( 1 ) ( 800 ) = 800 K.
Yeh step kyun? η = 1 ek perfect film hai — wall sirf coolant "dekhti" hai. T coo l par full weight; figure ke left panel par dot bilkul neeche baitha hai.
Case C, η = 0 : T a w = ( 1 ) ( 3200 ) + ( 0 ) ( 800 ) = 3200 K.
Yeh step kyun? η = 0 matlab film khatam ho gayi; wall full hot gas feel karti hai — dot bilkul upar baitha hai.
Verify: Yeh exactly interval [ T coo l , T h o t ] ke endpoints hain. Kisi bhi η ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] ka koi bhi valid answer inhi do ke beech land karna chahiye — har doosre example ke liye ek permanent bracket. ✓
Worked example Example 3 — Cell D: ek downstream station par effectiveness
h g = 1200 W/m 2 K , m ˙ c = 0.06 kg/(m⋅s) , c p = 2000 J/kgK , station x = 0.20 m. η nikalo, phir T h o t = 3200 K, T coo l = 800 K use karke T a w nikalo.
Forecast: exponent ek chhota-sa number hoga, isliye guess karo η kahin half ke aas paas hogi?
Dimensionless group banao. m ˙ c c p h g x = 0.06 × 2000 1200 × 0.20 = 120 240 = 2.0 .
Yeh step kyun? Yeh exponent hi woh ek cheez hai jis par η depend karti hai — bada group ⇒ dead film, chhota group ⇒ fresh film. Figure ke middle panel par yeh hai ki tum sagging curve ke kitna right tak travel kar chuke ho.
Exponentiate karo. η = e − 2.0 = 0.135 .
Yeh step kyun? Decay law kehta hai effectiveness e − ( group ) ki tarah girती hai; 2 ka group pehle hi hume ~14% tak giraa deta hai — us station par curve ki height padhna.
Temperature blend karo. T a w = ( 1 − 0.135 ) ( 3200 ) + ( 0.135 ) ( 800 ) = 2768 + 108 = 2876 K.
Yeh step kyun? Abstract η ko physical quantity mein convert karo jo ek engineer ko care karna chahiye — metal temperature (left panel ke dot par wapas, ab top ke paas).
Verify: Group dimensionless hai: ( kg/m⋅s ) ( J/kgK ) ( W/m 2 K ) ( m ) = W/m⋅K W/m⋅K = 1 ✓ (kyunki J/s = W ). η = 0.135 ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] ✓. T a w = 2876 800 aur 3200 ke beech hai ✓.
Worked example Example 4 — Cells E & F: degenerate coolant flow
h g = 1200 , c p = 2000 , x = 0.20 m rakho. Poochho: (E) m ˙ c → 0 aur (F) m ˙ c → ∞ mein η ka kya hota hai?
Forecast: koi coolant nahi vs. wall ko dabaana — tum pehle se physics jaante ho, ab formula ko agree hote dekho.
Case E, m ˙ c → 0 : exponent m ˙ c c p h g x → + ∞ , isliye η = e − ∞ → 0 .
Yeh step kyun? Koi cold "stuff" inject nahi kiya, hot gas turant jeet jaati hai — wall full flame feel karti hai. Formula deta hai T a w → T h o t = 3200 K. Middle panel par curve turant floor par collapse ho jaati hai. Sane.
Case F, m ˙ c → ∞ : exponent → 0 , isliye η = e 0 = 1 .
Yeh step kyun? Coolant ka infinite parda kabhi nahi khaata — har x par perfect protection. Formula deta hai T a w → T coo l = 800 K. Middle-panel curve 1 par flat line ban jaati hai. Sane.
Middle check, m ˙ c = 0.06 : hume Ex 3 mein pehle se η = 0.135 mila, jo do limits 0 aur 1 ke beech hai.
Yeh step kyun? Confirm karta hai ki function monotone hai: zyada coolant ⇒ zyada η , koi reversal nahi.
Verify: Dono limits Ex 2 ke endpoints reproduce karte hain (T coo l aur T h o t ). Physical picture ("no towel" vs "infinite towel") math se exactly match karti hai. ✓
Worked example Example 5 — Cell G: word problem — kitne injection slots chahiye?
Ek chamber L = 0.90 m lamba hai. Ek slot deliver karta hai m ˙ c = 0.05 kg/(m⋅s) , c p = 2000 , aur gas side mein h g = 1500 W/m 2 K hai. Design rule: kahin bhi η η min = 0.25 se neeche nahi girni chahiye. Kitne slots chahiye?
Forecast: compute karne se pehle slots ki number guess karo — 2? 5? 10?
Ek slot ki protected length. Page ke top se x p r o t ki boxed definition use karo: x p r o t = h g m ˙ c c p ln η min 1 = 1500 0.05 × 2000 ln 0.25 1 = 1500 100 ln 4 .
Yeh step kyun? x p r o t exactly woh length hai jis par ek slot η ≥ η min maintain karta hai; usse aage film floor se neeche gir chuki hai (middle panel par orange line) aur ek fresh slot ko lena padhta hai.
Evaluate karo. 1500 100 = 0.06667 ; ln 4 = 1.3863 ; x p r o t = 0.06667 × 1.3863 = 0.09242 m.
Yeh step kyun? Symbolic length ko metres mein turn karo taaki L se compare kar sakein; yeh shaded orange band ki width hai.
Slots count karo. slots = ⌈ L / x p r o t ⌉ = ⌈ 0.90/0.09242 ⌉ = ⌈ 9.74 ⌉ = 10 .
Yeh step kyun? Har slot x p r o t protected wall khareedata hai; hume poore 0.90 m cover karne hain, isliye hum round up karte hain. (Ceiling ⌈ y ⌉ bas matlab hai "y ko agle whole number par round up karo" — e.g. ⌈ 9.74 ⌉ = 10 — kyunki tum fractional slot install nahi kar sakte aur bare strip nahi chhod sakte.)
Verify: Ek slot ka coverage fraction f = x p r o t / L = 0.09242/0.90 = 0.1027 (~10%). Das slots dete hain 10 × 0.1027 = 1.027 ≥ 1 ✓ — kaafi hai. Nau slots dete 0.924 < 1 , ek hot gap chhodte, isliye 10 sahi hai. ✓
Worked example Example 6 — Cell H: exam twist, hidden coolant flow ke liye solve karo
Design requirement: ek single slot ko x = 0.15 m ke pehle η ≥ 0.30 maintain karna hai, h g = 1500 , c p = 2000 ke saath. Minimum m ˙ c kitna chahiye?
Forecast: hum decay law ko ulta chala rahe hain — kya tumhe m ˙ c 0.05 ke aas paas lagta hai ya 0.5 ke?
Target station par effectiveness ko floor set karo. exp ( − m ˙ c c p h g x ) = 0.30 .
Yeh step kyun? Sabse bura spot far edge x = 0.15 hai; agar wahan exactly η = 0.30 hai, toh upstream sab kuch safer hai. Middle panel par, hum curve ko point ( 0.15 , 0.30 ) se pass hone par force kar rahe hain.
Dono sides ka ln lo. − m ˙ c c p h g x = ln 0.30 = − 1.204 , isliye m ˙ c c p h g x = 1.204 .
Yeh step kyun? ln exp ka exact inverse hai — yeh exponent ko "unwrap" karta hai taaki hum m ˙ c isolate kar sakein.
m ˙ c ke liye solve karo. m ˙ c = c p × 1.204 h g x = 2000 × 1.204 1500 × 0.15 = 2408 225 = 0.0934 kg/(m⋅s) .
Yeh step kyun? Algebraic rearrangement us unknown ko isolate karti hai jo hum se maanga gaya tha.
Verify: m ˙ c = 0.0934 ko forward law mein wapas daalo: exponent = 0.0934 × 2000 1500 × 0.15 = 186.8 225 = 1.204 , aur e − 1.204 = 0.300 ✓ — requirement se exactly match karta hai.
Worked example Example 7 — Cell I: threshold sensitivity (super-linear cost)
h g = 1500 , c p = 2000 , m ˙ c = 0.05 , L = 0.50 m ke saath, η min = 0.10 aur stricter η min = 0.50 ke liye coverage fraction compare karo.
Forecast: zyada minimum effectiveness demand karna — kya coverage upar ya neeche jaati hai, aur kitna?
Loose floor η min = 0.10 . f = h g L m ˙ c c p ln 0.10 1 = 750 100 ln 10 = 0.1333 × 2.3026 = 0.3070 (~31%).
Yeh step kyun? Low bar clear karna aasaan hai, isliye film "protect karna count karta hai" zyada der tak — right panel curve ka sabse baayaan, tall part.
Strict floor η min = 0.50 . f = 750 100 ln 0.50 1 = 0.1333 × 0.6931 = 0.0924 (~9%).
Yeh step kyun? Har jagah half-strength protection par insist karna qualifying region ko dramatically shrink kar deta hai — right panel curve plunge ho gayi hai.
Compare karo. Ratio = 0.3070/0.0924 = 3.32 : floor ko 0.10 se 0.50 tak badhane se coverage 3 se zyada factor se kut gayi.
Yeh step kyun? Kyunki coverage ln ( 1/ η min ) par ride karti hai, aur ln 10/ ln 2 = 3.32 — log strict thresholds ko punishingly expensive banata hai.
Verify: 750 100 = 0.13 3 ✓; dono f values [ 0 , 1 ] mein hain ✓; ratio ln 10/ ln 2 = 3.322 coverage ratio se match karta hai ✓. Yeh "diminishing returns / super-linear cost" behaviour hai: floor ko upar push karna coolant ko linearly se kahin zyada fast khaata hai.
Worked example Example 8 — Cell J: sign / sanity trap (do red flags +
T coo l > T h o t edge case)
Ek intern report karta hai: "Maine T h o t = 2800 K, T coo l = 1000 K measure kiya, aur η = 1.4 compute kiya, jo T a w = 280 K wall deta hai." Dono red flags nikalo, phir related edge case explain karo jahan T coo l > T h o t .
Forecast: intern ke numbers mein do red flags chhupe hain — aage padhne se pehle unhe dhundho.
Red flag #1 — η [ 0 , 1 ] se bahar hai. Upar derive kiya hua inverted form use karo, η = T h o t − T coo l T h o t − T a w , jo hot se cool ki taraf fraction of the way hai, isliye physically [ 0 , 1 ] se bounded hai. η = 1.4 > 1 matlab "wall coolant se thandi hai" — ek film ke liye impossible jo sirf do streams ko blend kar sakti hai, kabhi bhi sabse thande se neeche refrigerate nahi kar sakti.
Yeh step kyun? Koi bhi η > 1 ya η < 0 ek instant "ruko, tumne galti ki" signal hai. (Yeh inverted formula bas blend rearranged hai — top ke paas definition callout dekho.)
Red flag #2 — T a w [ T coo l , T h o t ] bracket se bahar girti hai. Intern ke η se imply kiya hua blend check karo: T a w = ( 1 − 1.4 ) ( 2800 ) + ( 1.4 ) ( 1000 ) = ( − 0.4 ) ( 2800 ) + 1400 = − 1120 + 1400 = 280 K. Lekin Ex 2 ka bracket rule kehta hai ek real wall ko T coo l ≤ T a w ≤ T h o t satisfy karna chahiye, yaani 1000 ≤ T a w ≤ 2800 . 280 K ki value T coo l = 1000 K se neeche hai.
Yeh step kyun? Negative weight ( 1 − η ) = − 0.4 ne "average" ko dono inputs se neeche push kar diya — negative weight wala weighted average average hota hi nahi. Figure ke left panel par dot thermometer ke bilkul neeche se gir jaayega. Yeh wahi error ka doosra independent tarika hai: flag #1 η mein hai, flag #2 T a w mein hai, aur dono usi bure data ki taraf point karte hain.
Related edge case — T coo l > T h o t . Suppose karo "coolant" core gas se garam hai, jaise T coo l = 2000 K jabki T h o t = 1500 K. Tab denominator T h o t − T coo l = 1500 − 2000 = − 500 negative hai, isliye η ki definition sign flip karti hai matlab: "cooling" ab wall ko heat karti hai. Blend abhi bhi kaam karta hai — e.g. η = 0.35 deta hai T a w = ( 0.65 ) ( 1500 ) + ( 0.35 ) ( 2000 ) = 975 + 700 = 1675 K — lekin notice karo 1675 K ab 1500 aur 2000 ke beech hai, yaani bracket sirf reorder ho gayi hai [ T h o t , T coo l ] mein. Film wall temperature badhati hai; yeh ab coolant nahi rahi.
Yeh step kyun? Yeh har pehle example ke peeche chhupa hua assumption expose karta hai — T coo l < T h o t . Use todo aur physics ulta ho jaata hai: tumhari "film" heater ban jaati hai, isliye η ko "effectiveness" kehne se pehle hamesha confirm karo ki inject kiya hua stream genuinely core gas se thanda hai.
Verify: Flag #1: η = 1.4 ∈ / [ 0 , 1 ] ✓ impossible. Flag #2: T a w = 280 K < T coo l = 1000 K, [ 1000 , 2800 ] ke bahar ✓ impossible. Edge case: T coo l = 2000 > T h o t = 1500 aur η = 0.35 ke saath, T a w = 1675 K reordered bracket [ 1500 , 2000 ] ke andar ✓ — ek consistent (lekin non-cooling) blend. Kisi bhi physical film ke liye T coo l < T h o t aur η ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] zaroori hai; koi bhi violate karo aur dono brackets mein se ek toot jaata hai.
Recall Har trap kis matrix cell se belong karta hai?
"Wall coolant se thandi" ::: Cell J — impossible, η [ 0 , 1 ] se bahar gaya aur T a w apna bracket chhhod gaya.
"Koi coolant inject nahi kiya" ::: Cell E — m ˙ c → 0 , η → 0 , T a w → T h o t .
"Ek full chamber ke liye kitne slots?" ::: Cell G — L / x p r o t ko upar round karo (ceiling).
"Target η given, coolant flow ke liye solve karo" ::: Cell H — ln se invert karo.
"Coolant core gas se garam hai" ::: Cell J edge case — denominator sign flip karta hai, film heater ban jaati hai.
Recall Quick numeric checks
Ex1 T a w ? ::: 2360 K
Ex3 η ? ::: e − 2 = 0.135
Ex5 slot count? ::: 10 slots (x p r o t = 0.0924 m)
Ex6 minimum m ˙ c ? ::: 0.0934 kg/(m·s)
Ex7 coverage ratio? ::: 3.32× (yaani ln 10/ ln 2 )
Ex8 edge-case T a w (T coo l = 2000 , T h o t = 1500 , η = 0.35 )? ::: 1675 K
"BRACKET pehle." Kisi bhi T a w par trust karne se pehle, check karo ki woh T coo l aur T h o t ke beech hai; kisi bhi η par trust karne se pehle, check karo ki woh [ 0 , 1 ] mein hai. Har Cell-J disaster inhi do brackets mein se ek fail karta hai.
