In a joint project between the Institute of Aircraft Propulsion Systems (ILA) and MTU Aero Engines, a two-stage low pressure turbine is tested at design and strong off-design conditions. The experimental data taken in the Altitude Test Facility (ATF) aims to study the effect of positive and...
A failure case of the low pressure blades of steam turbine is presented in this paper. The suction side of blades has been quenched to improve the erosion resistance. Cracks with different lengths were found in the quenched region of final stage blades after about 13,200 h service. The failu...
A short summary of the CAESES® turbomachinery design capabilities can be found in this tech brief (PDF). There is also another tech brief (PDF) for the radial turbine design at MTU. For more details including pictures and explanations, please take a look at the presentation “Parametric...
Vertical-axis wind turbines are great candidates to enable wind power extraction in urban and off-shore applications. Currently, concerns around turbine efficiency and structural integrity limit their industrial deployment. Flow control can mitigate thes
<div p-id="p-0001">A turbine blade having an airfoil and a fir tree root is disclosed. The fir tree root has a lengthwise direction, a crosswise direction extending between two lateral sides of the fi
The effects of blade-tip leakage in a turbine are investigated by modeling the stage as an incomplete actuator disk. It is found that the spanwise flow redistribution due to the gap is such as to produce a uniform unloading of the blades, despite the very concentrated leakage. Partial lift ...
