Abstract: The life of a downstream part (20) disposed in a hot gas stream having a
cooling medium injected into the stream through multiple orifices in a first
upstream part (18) is enhanced by changing the location, configuration or
direction of flow of the cooling medium through the orifices. This change
alters the temperature distribution of the flow field, affecting the second
downstream part thereby enhancing its life. Properties of the cooling medium
may also be changed, i.e., temperature and/or mass flow, to alter the
temperature distribution of the flow field affecting the second downstream part
to enhance its part life.
