Effect of Flow Exit Angle and Blade Height on the Temperature Distribution of a Typical Gas Turbine Rotor Blade

Article Preview

Abstract:

One of the major factors which have important effects in turbine blade designing is temperature distribution and its heat transfer rate. The temperature distribution in blades depends on many factors; one of the most important ones is the geometry of the blades. In this paper by continuing some previous findings about the geometry[1], an optimized blade and a real one are compared from the thermally aspect view. Flow exit angle of the rotor blade and the blade height are two parameters which have direct effect on the heat transfer rate. The presented temperature distribution is solved based on the new flow exit angle of rotor blade. By optimizing the flow exit angle for the first time, the blade height is computed. By solving mathematically and thermodynamically relations and writing a solving code based on the finite volume method, the temperature and the heat transfer rate are computed numerically. These results shows the direct effect of flow exit angle on temperature distribution which can be used for upgrading the turbine efficiency.
