Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often there is a distinction between the design of turbomachinery airfoils for aerodynamic performance and durability. However, future aero-engine systems require ever increasing levels of turbine inlet temperature causing the durability and reliability of components to be an ever more important design concern. As a result, the need to incorporate heat transfer predictions into traditional aerodynamic design and optimization systems presents itself. Here, an effort to design an airfoil with both acceptable aerodynamics and minimized heat load is reported. First, a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) flow solver was validated over different flow regimes as well as varying boundary conditions against extensive data available in literature. Next, a nominal turbine inlet vane was tested experimentally for unsteady heat load measurements in a linear cascade. The tests were performed in a reflected shock tunnel to validate the flow solver further at the current experimental conditions, and special attention was paid to leading edge and suction side heat-flux characteristics. The nominal airfoil geometry was then redesigned for minimum heat load by means of both design practice and two types of optimization algorithms. Finally, the new airfoil was tested experimentally and unsteady heat load trends were compared to design levels as well as the nominal vane counterpart. Results indicate an appreciable reduction in heat load relative to the original vane. Thus, it is a credible proposition to design turbine airfoils for aero-performance and durability concurrently.

Download or read book Gas Turbine Blade Cooling written by Chaitanya D Ghodke and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 238 pages. 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.
