Film Cooling from a Single Row of Compound Angle Holes at High Blowing Ratios by Phillip M. Ligrani, Joon Sik Lee

“…Experimental results are presented which describe the development and structure of flow downstream of a single row of holes with compound angle orientations producing film cooling at high blowing ratios. This film cooling configuration is important because similar arrangements are frequently employed on the first stage of rotating blades of operating gas turbine engines. …”

Comparative study of packaging materials developed from fish and legume protein concentrates by Evmorfia Athanasopoulou, Angeliki Katsiroumpa, Chrysavgi Gardeli, Theofania Tsironi

“…The composite film of pectin and concentrated lentil protein exhibited hydrophobic behavior (contact angle 98.63 ± 3.78°), whereas for gelatin and concentrated fish protein films, the contact angle was determined as 57.37 ± 4.00°, indicating hydrophilic behavior. All produced films biodegraded in <20 days during burial test in soil with high relative humidity (80 %). …”
