This paper lists the steps in the development chain of air cooling for gas turbine components, and represents transpiration cooling as the ultimate method. The three modes of heat transfer involved in transpiration cooling, gas side heat transfer, coolant side heat transfer and interstitial heat transfer, are discussed separately. Finally, consideration is given to the practical problems of transpiration cooling in advanced gas turbines.
