Research problems linked to this topic
- Unsteady effects impact the aerothermal performance of the turbine blade rows, originating noise, mechanical and thermal fatigue.
- Last blades of heavy-duty gas and steam turbines have shrouds to avoid dangerous resonance frequency.
- Understanding of the tip leakage flow (TLF) in turbine rotors is one key aspect in the design for improving the efficiency of turbines.
- Reasonable methods for determining the optimum number of blades in a low specific speed centrifugal pump with closed-type impeller with splitters, i.e. compound impeller have been rather rare in the literature so far.
- prerequisite for the introduction of a new high strength steel blade in steam turbines is to ensure that its resistance to environment assisted cracking is at least no worse than that of existing materials.
- Aircraft gas turbines contain various sheet metal fabrications, such as combustion chambers, exhaust units, jet pipes, and reheat liners, which operate for long periods under arduous conditions.
- The flow field inside a modern internal cooling channel specifically designed for the trailing edge of gas turbine blades has been experimentally investigated under static and rotating conditions.
- The blade tip region encounters high thermal loads because of the hot gas leakage flows, and it must therefore be cooled to ensure a long durability and safe operation.
