Abstract:
Current improvements in gas turbine engine performance have arisen primarily due to increases in turbine inlet temperature and compressor pressure ratios. However, a maximum possible turbine inlet temperature exits in the form of the adiabatic combustion temperature of the fuel. In addition, thermal limits of turbine blade materials also places an upper bound on turbine inlet temperatures. Thus, the current strategy for improving gas turbine efficiency is inherently limited.

As the research into the improvement of gas turbine performance progresses, the combustor-turbine interface becomes of increasing importance. In new engine designs components come closer together and the study of the combustor and turbine interactions can prove to be valuable for the improvement of the aerothermal performance of the vane. This thesis presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the aerodynamic and heat transfer aspect of the interactions between the combustor and the nozzle guide vane.

A possible shaft failure event can trigger a number of mechanisms affecting the mechanical integrity particular of turbine discs and blades. A predominant aim in engine design and development is to satisfy that passenger lives are not to be endangered by the release of high energy debris. In a typical Intermediate Pressure shaft failure scenario of a 3-spool high bypass ratio turbofan engine, a potential mechanism to limit the terminal speed of the free running turbine, within acceptable values, is proven to be the impact of the free running turbine with the following stationary arrangement.

Certain types of fuel used for combustion in land-based gas turbines can contain traces of ash when introduced into a gas turbine. Examples include synfuel, from the gasification of coal, and heavy fuel oil. When these ash particles travel through the hot gas path of the gas turbine they can deposit on turbine vanes and blades. As deposits grow, they can reduce turbine efficiency and damage turbine hardware.

Within a gas turbine engine, the turbine nozzle guide vanes are subjected to very harsh conditions from the highly turbulent and hot gases exiting the combustor.

To better understand these effects, the goal of this work was to develop an adjustable combustor exit profile simulator for the Turbine Research Facility (TRF) at the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Abstract:
The successful design of cooling systems for gas turbine engines is a key factor to feasibility of new projects, as the trend for increasing turbine entry temperatures implies requirements for more sophisticated cooling methods. This work focuses on the prediction of cooling performance of turbines, starting from local heat transfer effects at the surface of blades and vanes and expanding to performance simulation of cooled high pressure turbines and engines. In this context, this thesis establishes a new method that investigates the following topics: • The connection between the gas flow fiel
