Abstract:

This experimental study contains two points; part1 turbine blade heat transfer under low Reynolds number flow conditions, and part 2 trailing edge cooling and heat transfer. The effect of unsteady wake and free stream turbulence on heat transfer and pressure coefficients of a turbine blade was investigated in low Reynolds number flows. The experiments were performed on a five blade linear cascade in a low speed wind tunnel. A spoked wheel type wake generator and two different turbulence grids were employed to generate different levels of the Strouhal number and turbulence intensity, respec

Abstract:

In recent years, the demand for wind energy has dramatically increased as well as the number and size of commercial wind turbines. These large turbines are loud and can cause annoyance to nearby communities. Therefore, the prediction of large wind turbine noise over long distances is critical. The wind turbine noise prediction is a very complex problem since it has to account for atmospheric conditions (wind and temperature), ground absorption, un-even terrain, turbine wake, and blade deformation. In these large turbines, the blade deflection is significant and it can potentially influence the

Turbine stages are exposed to a variety of excitation sources in the power industry. The resulting forced vibration excitation of the blades may occur near a blade’s natural frequency. Blade vibration is an inevitable, inherent characteristic of turbines as the rotor blades travel through the trailing wakes of the upstream stator blades. Blade vibration can be worsened by other mechanisms such as pitting, corrosion fatigue and stress corrosion cracking commonly experienced in the power industry. Measuring turbine blade vibration allows for condition monitoring of the blades for damage. This i

Abstract:

Wind turbines become more cost effective as they grow larger; however the blade mass increases at a greater rate than the power. For a continued size increase, reducing the mass of the blades is necessary. Additionally, lighter blades lower overall turbine costs because the loads on the rest of the structure are decreased. Therefore, the use of lightweight blades can have a significant impact on the cost of wind energy. To achieve blade mass reductions, an alternative structural layout is generated using topology optimisation. The result is a topology which varies along the blade length, trans

Abstract:

In modern gas turbine engines, film cooling is extensively used to cool the components exposed to the hot mainstream gas path. In implementing film cooling on modern gas turbine engines, the trailing edge film poses a particularly challenging design problem. From an aerodynamic point of view, the trailing edge of a blade is designed to be as thin as possible. However, this conflicts with the implementation of the cooling design. The most common method of film cooling the trailing edge is via late pressure surface discrete film cooling holes. Another method of cooling the trailing edge is by us

In the current gas turbine market, the traditional design-test-redesign loop is not a viable solution to deploy new products within short timeframes. Hence, to keep the amount of testing to an absolute minimum, theoretical simulation tools like Finite Element Modelling (FEM) have become a driving force in the design of blades to predict the dynamic behaviour of compressor and turbine assemblies in high-speed and unsteady flows. The predictions from these simulation tools need to be supported and validated by measurements. For the past five years, Rolls-Royce Blade Tip Timing (BTT) technology h

Abstract:

Clearances between gas turbine casings and rotating blades is of quite importance on turbo machines since a significant loss of efficiency can occur if the clearances are not predicted accordingly. The radial thermal growths of the blade may be over or under predicted if poor assumptions are made on calculating the metal temperatures of the surfaces exposed to the fluid. The external surface of the blade is exposed to hot gas temperatures and it is internally cooled with air coming from the compressor. This cold air enters the radial channels at the root of the blade and then exists at the tip

The power output from a wind turbine is proportional to rotor swept area and as a result in the past 30 years continuous effort has been made to design larger blades.

With the longest blade currently measuring more than 100m in length, wind turbine blade designers and manufacturers face enormous challenges to encounter the effect of increased weight and other loads on fatigue durability of the blade. Wind turbine blades are mainly made from glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite. materials.

Large wind turbines are subjected to the harmful loads that arise from the spatially uneven and temporally unsteady oncoming wind.

The development of aero-gas turbines is moving towards more efficient engines with higher pressure ratios and increased Turbine Entry Temperatures. This leads to increases in overall turbine blades temperatures which has resulted in the widescale development of turbine blades with film cooling and Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) which reduce the metal temperature of the blade. The air used for film cooling is directed around the blade by internal passages within the blade, current engines are experiencing hot corrosion in areas of these internal passages, even with internal aluminide coatings.
