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.

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.

Download or read book Advanced Multistage Turbine Blade Aerodynamics Performance Cooling and Heat Transfer written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gas turbine has the potential for power production at the highest possible efficiency. The challenge is to ensure that gas turbines operate at the optimum efficiency so as to use the least fuel and produce minimum emissions. A key component to meeting this challenge is the turbine. Turbine performance, both aerodynamics and heat transfer, is one of the barrier advanced gas turbine development technologies. This is a result of the complex, highly three-dimensional and unsteady flow phenomena in the turbine. Improved turbine aerodynamic performance has been achieved with three-dimensional highly-loaded airfoil designs, accomplished utilizing Euler or Navier-Stokes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes. These design codes consider steady flow through isolated blade rows. Thus they do not account for unsteady flow effects. However, unsteady flow effects have a significant impact on performance. Also, CFD codes predict the complete flow field. The experimental verification of these codes has traditionally been accomplished with point data - not corresponding plane field measurements. Thus, although advanced CFD predictions of the highly complex and three-dimensional turbine flow fields are available, corresponding data are not. To improve the design capability for high temperature turbines, a detailed understanding of the highly unsteady and three-dimensional flow through multi-stage turbines is necessary. Thus, unique data are required which quantify the unsteady three-dimensional flow through multi-stage turbine blade rows, including the effect of the film coolant flow. Also, as design CFD codes do not account for unsteady flow effects, the next logical challenge and the current thrust in CFD code development is multiple-stage analyses that account for the interactions between neighboring blade rows. Again, to verify and or direct the development of these advanced codes, complete three-dimensional unsteady flow field data are needed.

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 Effect of Chord Size on Weight and Cooling Characteristics of Air cooled Turbine Blades written by Jack B. Esgar and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis has been made to determine the effect of chord size on the weight and cooling characteristics of shell-supported, air-cooled gas-turbine blades. In uncooled turbines with solid blades, the general practice has been to design turbines with high aspect ratio (small blade chord) to achieve substantial turbine weight reduction. With air-cooled blades, this study shows that turbine blade weight is affected to a much smaller degree by the size of the blade chord.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research work presents an adjoint approach to optimize the aero-thermalproperties of gas turbine blades. The flow solver is a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes code applicable to structured grids. The flow governing equations are discretizedusing a second-order finite-volume scheme and for artificial dissipation, theJameson-Schmidt-Turkel (JST) scheme is applied in order to accurately capture theflow discontinuities. The code uses a five-stage modified Runge-Kutta explicit temporaldiscretisation and utilizes the multigrid method, residual smoothing and thelocal time stepping for convergence acceleration.A loosely coupled conjugate heat transfer (CHT) method is applied to considerthe effect of the internal convective cooling and obtain the fluid-solid interface temperatureat the blade surface. A finite-element solver is developed to solve the energyequation in the solid domain and the governing equation is solved by implementingthe weak-Galerkin finite-element discretization scheme where an unstructured lineartriangular mesh is adopted for the solution domain. The temperature at the solid andfluid interface is computed through an iterative exchange of the boundary conditionsacross the interface using the Flux Forward Temperature Back (FFTB) method. Forexternally cooled blades, a source term injection model is implemented to model theeffect of external cooling on the blade surface heat transfer.The optimization procedure is gradient-based and the blade shape optimizationis accomplished through SNOPT, a sequential-quadratic programming package thatis capable of automatically handling the linear and/or non-linear flow and geometric constraints. To efficiently calculate the gradients, a continuous adjoint method isemployed and in order to be consistent with the flow boundary condition, a characteristicbased approach is utilized in developing the adjoint boundary conditions.The flow solver is validated for several benchmark turbomachinery cascades.The optimization procedure is applied to several inviscid and viscous turbine andcompressor blades to enhance the aerodynamic and/or thermal performance. Thedeveloped optimization algorithm is demonstrated to be efficient in terms of computationaltime and accuracy for the optimization of two-dimensional turbomachinerycases where it provides promising results in reducing the desired objective functionswhile respecting the imposed flow and geometric constraints." --

Download or read book Heat Transfer Measurements and Predictions on a Power Generation Gas Turbine Blade written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed heat transfer measurements and predictions are given for a power generation turbine rotor with 129 deg of nominal turning and an axial chord of 137 mm. Data were obtained for a set of four exit Reynolds numbers comprised of the design point of 628,000, -20%, +20%, and +40%. Three ideal exit pressure ratios were examined including the design point of 1.378, -10%, and +10%. Inlet incidence angles of 0 deg and +/-2 deg were also examined. Measurements were made in a linear cascade with highly three-dimensional blade passage flows that resulted from the high flow turning and thick inlet boundary layers. Inlet turbulence was generated with a blown square bar grid. The purpose of the work is the extension of three-dimensional predictive modeling capability for airfoil external heat transfer to engine specific conditions including blade shape, Reynolds numbers, and Mach numbers. Data were obtained by a steady-state technique using a thin-foil heater wrapped around a low thermal conductivity blade. Surface temperatures were measured using calibrated liquid crystals. The results show the effects of strong secondary vortical flows, laminar-to-turbulent transition, and also show good detail in the stagnation region.
