Heat transfer coefficients are shown as functions of downstream and transverse plate coordinates as determined experimentally for different blowing ratios near one and for levels of free stream turbulence from 1 percent to 17 percent of the free stream velocity. Heat transfer between the plate and the free stream is reduced by the film cooling at higher levels of free stream turbulence. Heat transfer is increased on the plate in the region between the film cooling jets at all levels of blowing ratio for one percent free stream turbulence. This undesirable augmentation of the heat transfer is modeled analytically and related to the axial vortices generated near the film cooling jet inlets. The strength of these vortices and the subsequent heat transfer increases are related to the blowing ration. 1, record 6, English, - film%20cooling

A projection used to evaluate the elbow joint. The patient is seated at the side of the radiographic table, with the forearm resting on its ulnar side, the elbow joint flexed 90°, and the thumb pointing upward. The central beam is directed toward the radial head at a 45° angle to the forearm. The film in this projection shows the radial head projected ventral, free of overlap by the coronoid process, which is also well demonstrated. This projection is also effective in evaluating the capitellum and humeroradial and humeroulnar articulations.

Incidence de profil du coude. Le sujet est assis, coude fléchi à 90° sur la table, pouce en l'air. L'épaule et le coude sont sur le même plan horizontal.
