Abstract
Increasing demands placed on biogas plants call for a more rigorous examination of gas turbine blade cooling. To this end, finite element method is used in conjunction with standard laboratory procedures. Convergence to the required tolerance is obtained within 6 iterations in all of the cases examined. Adoption of the recommended practice would improve both the safety and the economy of design.
