This book was released on 1990 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After compressor discharge air has initially been used to cool the heat shields of the hot gas inlet casing, it can subsequently be employed for film cooling of the first-stage vane shrouds. Since the flow field near these shrouds is three-dimensional, the film cooling effectiveness cannot be predicted correctly by common two-dimensional codes. The secondary flow transports the film from the pressure side to the suction side where it can even climb up the airfoil to cool its trailing section. Such film cooling effectiveness was first investigated experimentally in a linear vane cascade at atmospheric pressure. The temperatures and static pressure levels at the adiabatic shrouds, as well as the temperature measurements within the vane cascade, are reported for different cooling film blowing rates. In addition, the secondary flow was analysed numerically using a partially-parabolic computer code for 3D viscous flows. It involves mutual interaction of the boundary layer with the mainstream. The secondary flow can also be modelled with this algorithm, which requires less numerical effort than solving the fully 3D elliptic flow equations. The numerical results of the experiment and numerical predictions are compared. In addition, the application of these results to a high-temperature gas turbine is presented.

Download or read book Influence of In Hole Roughness and High Freestream Turbulence on Film Cooling From a Shaped Hole written by Robert Schroeder and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas turbines are heavily used for electricity generation and aircraft propulsion with a strong desire in both uses to maximize thermal efficiency while maintaining reasonable power output. As a consequence, gas turbines run at high turbine inlet temperatures that require sophisticated cooling technologies to ensure survival of turbine components. One such technology is film cooling with shaped holes, where air is withdrawn from latter stages of the compressor, is bypassed around the combustor, and is eventually ejected out holes in turbine component surfaces. Air ejected from these shaped holes helps maintain components at temperatures lower than flow from the combustor. Many studies have investigated different factors that influence shaped hole performance. However, no studies in open literature have investigated how cooling performance is affected by roughness along interior walls of the shaped hole. The effect of in-hole roughness on shaped hole film cooling was the focus of this research. Investigation of in-hole roughness effects first required the determination of behavior for a shaped hole with smooth walls. A public shaped hole, now used by other investigators as well, was designed with a diffused outlet having 7 degree expansion angles and an area ratio of 2.5. At low freestream turbulence intensity of 0.5%, film cooling adiabatic effectiveness for this smooth hole was found to peak at a blowing ratio of 1.5. Measurements of flowfields and thermal fields revealed causes of this behavior. Blowing ratio increases above 1.5 caused the jet from the smooth hole to penetrate higher into the surrounding mainstream, exhibit a stronger counter-rotating vortex pair, and have narrower contact with the wall than at lower blowing ratios. Experiments performed at high freestream turbulence intensity of 13% revealed dynamics of how freestream turbulence both diluted and laterally spread coolant. At the high blowing ratio of 3 the dilution and spreading were competing effects, such that elevated freestream turbulence did not cause a decrease in area-averaged effectiveness. At the blowing ratio of 1.5, high freestream turbulence caused area-averaged effectiveness to decrease 17% relative to the low freestream turbulence case. Film cooling performance was measured for the shaped hole geometry with several different configurations of in-hole roughness. At low freestream turbulence intensity, in-hole roughness caused decreases in area-averaged adiabatic effectiveness up to 61% relative to the smooth hole performance. These percent decreases in adiabatic effectiveness were more severe with increasing roughness levels and with increasing blowing ratios. Flowfield and thermal field measurements for the configuration with largest roughness size showed that the decrease in adiabatic effectiveness for rough holes as compared to smooth holes was due to thicker boundary layers along the interior walls of the cooling holes. The thicker boundary layers resulted in faster jet core flow, which in turn caused increased penetration of coolant into the mainstream and increased turbulence intensity inside the jet, with both leading to reduced adiabatic effectiveness. Detrimental effects of in-hole roughness persisted at the high freestream turbulence conditions as well.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing 3-stage turbine research facility at the Turbomachinery Performance and Flow Research Laboratory (TPFL), Texas A and M University, is re-designed and newly installed to enable coolant gas injection on the first stage rotor platform to study the effects of rotation on film cooling and heat transfer. Pressure and temperature sensitive paint techniques are used to measure film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer on the rotor platform respectively. Experiments are conducted at three turbine rotational speeds namely, 2400rpm, 2550rpm and 3000rpm. Interstage aerodynamic measurements with miniature five hole probes are also acquired at these speeds. The aerodynamic data characterizes the flow along the first stage rotor exit, second stage stator exit and second stage rotor exit. For each rotor speed, film cooling effectiveness is determined on the first stage rotor platform for upstream stator-rotor gap ejection, downstream discrete hole ejection and a combination of upstream gap and downstream hole ejection. Upstream coolant ejection experiments are conducted for coolant to mainstream mass flow ratios of MFR=0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% and downstream discrete hole injection tests corresponding to average hole blowing ratios of M = 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and 2.0 for each turbine speed. To provide a complete picture of hub cooling under rotating conditions, experiments with simultaneous injection of coolant gas through upstream and downstream injection are conducted for an of MFR=1% and Mholes=0.75, 1.0 and 1.25 for the three turbine speeds. Heat transfer coefficients are determined on the rotor platform for similar upstream and downstream coolant injection. Rotation is found to significantly affect the distribution of coolant on the platform. The measured effectiveness magnitudes are lower than that obtained with numerical simulations. Coolant streams from both upstream and downstream injection orient themselves towards the blade suction side. Passage vortex cuts-off the coolant film for the lower MFR for upstream injection. As the MFR increases, the passage vortex effects are diminished. Effectiveness was maximum when Mholes was closer to one as the coolant ejection velocity is approximately equal to the mainstream relative velocity for this blowing ratio. Heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness increase with increasing rotational speed for upstream rotor stator gap injection while for downstream hole injection the maximum effectiveness and heat transfer coefficients occur at the reference speed of 2550rpm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated adiabatic wall cooling effectiveness of a single row of film cooling holes injecting into a turbulent flat plate boundary layer below a turbulent, zero pressure gradient freestream. Levels of freestream turbulence (Tu) up to 17.4% were generated using a method which simulates conditions at a gas turbine combustor exit. Film cooling was injected from a single row of five 35 degree slant-hole injectors (length/diameter = 3.5. pitch/diameter = 3.0) at blowing ratios from 0.55 to 1185 and at a nearly constant density ratio (coolant density/freestream density) of 0.95. Film cooling effectiveness data is presented for Tu levels ranging from 0.9% to 17% at a constant freestream Reynolds number based on injection hole diameter of 19000. Results show that elevated levels of freestream turbulence reduce film cooling effectiveness by up to 70% in the region directly downstream of the injection hole due to enhanced mixing. At the same time, high freestream turbulence also produces a 50-100% increase in film cooling effectiveness in the region between injection holds. This is due to accelerated spanwise diffusion of the cooling fluid, which also produces an earlier merger of the coolant jets from adjacent holes.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was focused on measurements of adiabatic effectiveness on a scaled turbine vane which made use of a contoured endwall to match engine conditions. The vane model featured a full coverage film-cooling configuration with five rows of cylindrical holes in the showerhead and ten rows of laidback fanshaped holes distributed on the pressure and suction sides. The vane model was tested across a wide range of blowing ratios in several different coolant configurations including: individual rows on the pressure and suction side, full coverage tests with and without showerhead cooling, and full coverage tests at low and high mainstream turbulence levels. Comparisons between these configurations were made in order to assess the effects of local curvature, showerhead cooling, and mainstream turbulence levels. Single row tests measured in areas of high convex curvature tended to have an improved performance relative to flat plate predictions, while the opposite was true for rows in areas of concave curvature. Overall, showerhead cooling did not provide any significant improvements in effectiveness far downstream on both the pressure and suction side. Increasing mainstream turbulence levels tended to diminish the film cooling effectiveness. The negative effect of higher mainstream turbulence was most significant at low blowing ratios, but became negligible at higher flow rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this experiment, measurements of the overall cooling effectiveness for a film cooled turbine vane airfoil in a high-speed cascade were obtained using infrared thermography. The vane used was the NASA C3X with impingement holes (showerhead cooling) and convective cooling holes on both the suction and pressure side. This work was done in the Mechanical Engineering Department's Experimental and Computational Convection Lab and used the high-speed cascade capability of the lab. The rationale for conducting this work was to obtain experimental data on film cooling effectiveness in a turbine vane in engine-like conditions at transonic speeds. Previous work has been done at subsonic speeds, but few pieces of literature examine this parameter at transonic speeds. The data can then be used to validate or compare to CFD models and to better understand what happens to the vane temperature distribution during engine operation. This understanding could inform the design of film cooling holes to reduce thermal strain "hot spots" which lead to failure of the vane. The results showed that trends for values of overall film effectiveness were as expected in this experiment, such as increases in blowing ratio correlating to increases in overall film effectiveness. However, the blowing ratios used in this study were not as high as values studied previously, indicating a need for more data on overall film effectiveness at transonic speeds.
