About this title

About the Author

Dr. Je-Chin Han is currently University Distinguished Professor and Marcus Easterling Endowed Chair Professor at Texas A&M University. He has been working on turbine blade cooling, film cooling, and rotating coolant-passage heat transfer research for the past 40 years. He is the co-author of 243 journal papers, lead author of the book "Gas Turbine Heat Transfer and Cooling Technology", and author of the book "Analytical Heat Transfer". He has served as editor, associate editor, and honorary board member for eight heat transfer related journals. He received the 2002 ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award; the 2004 International Rotating Machinery Award; the 2004 AIAA Thermophysics Award; the 2013 ASME Heat Transfer Division 75th Anniversary Medal; the 2016 ASME IGTI Aircraft Engine Technology Award; and the 2016 ASME and AICHE Max Jakob Memorial Award. He is a Fellow of ASME and AIAA.

Dr. Lesley Wright is Associate Professor and Jana & Quentin A. Baker ’78 Faculty Fellow at Texas A&M University. Currently, she is investigating enhanced convective cooling technology, including heat transfer enhancement for gas turbine cooling applications. In addition, Dr. Wright investigates the effect of rotation on the thermal performance of rotor blade cooling passages. Her research interests have also led to the development of novel experimental methods for the acquisition of detailed surface and flow measurements in highly turbulent flows.
