Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas turbines play an extremely important role in fulfilling a variety of power needs and are mainly used for power generation and propulsion applications. The performance and efficiency of gas turbine engines are to a large extent dependent on turbine rotor inlet temperatures: typically, the hotter the better. In gas turbines, the combustion temperature and the fuel efficiency are limited by the heat transfer properties of the turbine blades. However, in pushing the limits of hot gas temperatures while preventing the melting of blade components in high-pressure turbines, the use of effective cooling technologies is critical. Increasing the turbine inlet temperature also increases heat transferred to the turbine blade, and it is possible that the operating temperature could reach far above permissible metal temperature. In such cases, insufficient cooling of turbine blades results in excessive thermal stress on the blades causing premature blade failure. This may bring hazards to the engine's safe operation. Gas Turbine Blade Cooling, edited by Dr. Chaitanya D. Ghodke, offers 10 handpicked SAE International's technical papers, which identify key aspects of turbine blade cooling and help readers understand how this process can improve the performance of turbine hardware.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present treatise reports on theoretical investigations and test-stand measurements which were carried out in the BMW Flugmotoren GMbH in developing the hollow blade for exhaust gas turbines. As an introduction the temperature variation and the stress on a turbine blade for a gas temperature of 900 degrees and circumferential velocities of 600 meters per second are discussed. The assumptions onthe heat transfer coefficients at the blade profile are supported by tests on an electrically heated blade model. The temperature distribution in the cross section of a blade Is thoroughly investigated and the temperature field determined for a special case. A method for calculation of the thermal stresses in turbine blades for a given temperature distribution is indicated. The effect of the heat radiation on the blade temperature also is dealt with. Test-stand experiments on turbine blades are evaluated, particularly with respect to temperature distribution in the cross section; maximum and minimum temperature in the cross section are ascertained. Finally, the application of the hollow blade for a stationary gas turbine is investigated. Starting from a setup for 550 C gas temperature the improvement of the thermal efficiency and the fuel consumption are considered as well as the increase of the useful power by use of high temperatures. The power required for blade cooling is taken into account.
Download or read book Numerical Simulation of a Film Cooled Turbine Blade Leading Edge Including Heat Transfer Effects written by Laurene D. Dobrowolski and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computations and experiments were run to study heat transfer and overall effectiveness for a simulated turbine blade leading edge. Computational predictions were run for a film cooled leading edge model using a conjugate numerical method to predict the normalized "metal" temperatures for the model. This computational study was done in conjunction with a parallel effort to experimentally determine normalized metal temperatures, i.e. overall effectiveness, using a specially designed high conductivity model. Predictions of overall effectiveness were higher than experimentally measured values in the stagnation region, but lower along the downstream section of the leading edge. Reasons for the differences between computational predictions and experimental measurements were examined. Also of interest was the validity of Taw as the driving temperature for heat transfer into the blade, and this was examined via computations. Overall, this assumption gave reasonable results except near the stagnation line. Experiments were also conducted on a leading edge with no film cooling to gain a better understanding of the additional cooling provided by film cooling. Heat flux was also measured and external and internal heat transfer coefficients were determined. The results showed roughly constant overall effectiveness on the external surface.
Download or read book Numerical Simulation of Turbine Blade Heat Transfer Using Two equation Turbulence Models written by Abdul Hafid M. Elfaghi and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of high performance gas turbines requires high turbine inlet temperatures that can lead to severe thermal stresses in the turbine blades, particularly in the first stages of the turbine. Therefore, the major objective of gas- turbine designers is to determine the thermal and aero-dynamical characteristics of the turbulent flow in the turbine cascade. This work is a numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in the turbine blade using different two-equation turbulence models. The turbulence models used here were based on the eddy viscosity concept, which determined the turbulent viscosity through time-averaged Navier-Stokes differential equations. The most widely accepted turbulence models are the two-equation models, which involves the solution of two transport equations for the turbulent kinetic energy, k, and its rate of dissipation, & or In the present simulation, four two-equation turbulence models were used, the standard k-& model, the modified Chen-Kim k-& model, RNG model and Wilcox standard k - OJ turbulence model. A comparison between the turbulence models and their predictions of the heat flux on the blade were carried out. The results were also compared with the available experimental results obtained from a research carried out by Arts et at. (1990) at the von Karman Institute of Fluid Dynamics (VKI). The simulation was performed using the general-purpose computational fluid dynamics code, PHOENICS, which solved the governing fluid flow and heat transfer equations. An H-type, body-fitted-co-ordinate (BFC) grid was used and upstream and downstream periodic conditions were specified. The grid system used was, sufficiently fine and the results were grid independent. All models demonstrated good heat transfer predictions for the pressure side except close to the leading edge. On the suction side, standard model over-predicted the heat transfer, whereas Chen-Kim, RNG and k - OJ models captured the overall behaviour quite well. Unlike k - OJ model, all k - & models generated very high turbulence levels in the stagnation point regions, which gave rise to the heat transfer rates close to the leading edge.
Download or read book Procedure for Calculating Turbine Blade Temperatures and Comparison of Calculated with Observed Values for Two Stationary Air cooled Blades written by W. Byron Brown and published by . This book was released on 1952 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Local and average blade temperatures were calculated for two stationary air-cooled turbine blades with 10 tubes and 13 fins forming the internal heat-transfer surfaces. These temperatures were calculated using previously published NACA temperature-distribution equations and the most recent theories for determining heat-transfer coefficients, including for the first time the allowance for effects of variable wall temperature on gas-to-blade heat-transfer coefficients at the leading and trailing sections of turbine blades. Comparison of calculated and experimental blade temperatures, for gas temperatures of 300° and 1000°F, resulted in good agreement.

This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computational study has been performed to predict the distribution of convective heat transfer coefficient on a simulated blade tip with cooling holes. The purpose of the examination was to assess the ability of a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver to predict the rate of tip heat transfer and the distribution of cooling effectiveness. To this end, the simulation of tip clearance flow with blowing of Kim and Metzger was used. The agreement of the computed effectiveness with the data was quite good. The agreement with the heat transfer coefficient was not as good but improved away from the cooling holes. Numerical flow visualization showed that the uniformity of wetting of the surface by the film cooling jet is helped by the reverse flow due to edge separation of the main flow. Ameri, A.

Download or read book Measurements of Heat Transfer Flow and Pressures in a Simulated Turbine Blade Internal Cooling Passage written by Louis M. Russell and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study was made to obtain quantitative information on heat transfer, flow, and pressure distribution in a branched duct test section that had several significant features of an internal cooling passage of a turbine blade. The objective of this study was to generate a set of experimental data that could be used for validation of computer codes that would be used to model internal cooling. Surface heat transfer coefficients and entrance flow conditions were measured at nominal entrance Reynolds numbers of 45 000, 335 000, and 726 000. Heat transfer data were obtained by using a steady-state technique in which an Inconel heater sheet is attached to the surface and coated with liquid crystals. Visual and quantitative flow-field data from particle image velocimetry measurements for a plane at midchannel height for a Reynolds number of 45 000 were also obtained. The flow was seeded with polystyrene particles and illuminated by a laser light sheet. Pressure distribution measurements were made both on the surface with discrete holes and in the flow field with a total pressure probe. The flow-field measurements yielded flow-field velocities at selected locations. A relatively new method, pressure sensitive paint, was also used to measure surface pressure distribution. The pressure paint data obtained at Reynolds numbers of 335 000 and 726 000 compared well with the more standard method of measuring pressures by using discrete holes.
