Thermal and Stress Field Analysis in Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Exhaust System

Abstract:

Heavy-duty gas turbine is used widely in power generation industry for many advantages. Gas turbine exhaust system is an important component of the gas turbine. The work to study the exhaust system was less in the past. In fact, structure design of the exhaust system has important influence on performance and life of the gas turbine. In this paper, the three-dimensional structural model of gas turbine exhaust system is built, the thermal field and stress field for the exhaust system are analyzed by using finite element method (FEM). The maximum stress and distribution characteristics of stress field, the highest temperature and distribution characteristics of thermal field in the exhaust system are computed. These provide a reliable basis for reasonable design and safety evaluation of the exhaust system in gas turbine.
