@Roh I don't understand the last part of the sentence, but I would rewrite the beginning of it as:
> No study has investigated such a configuration so far. Certainly film cooling will be one of the first suggestions to cool the parts of the ODWE in the future and the present study will be essential...
It's better in my opinion to try to end a sentence at a complete thought instead of joining them with "and"

Interesting question:
2
Q: Why is it correct to say "She hadn't been used to being treated like that" and not "She hadn't been used to be treated like that"?

ZhaoI know that we use "To be+used to+gerund" for expressing something that's happening at the moment of speaking. But I don't know how to apply the rule with the sentence above. Do we always use gerund when "used to" is preceded by "to be" ? Thank you by advance.

@Araucaria I like how you say "the to we find in to-infinitive constructions" without quite opening the defective auxiliary can of worms.

@snailcar He he. Yep!
I was wondering if someone was going to mention that (or the idea that infinitival to actually is a preposition)
How's tricks?
