A thermodynamic process of power generation has been developed for a gas turbine, a steam turbine, and a compressor, supported by adiabatic expansion or compression processes. Recently, the possible inlet temperature of gas turbines has been increased to 1500°C or more, and the inlet temperature of steam turbines also has been increased to 650°C. At these high-temperature conditions, turbine no...

Wall-modeled large-eddy simulation is applied to a transonic axial compressor rotor (NASA Rotor 37). The simulation results show a significant improvement over fully turbulent RANS in the prediction of the overall performance, mainly by capturing boundary layer transition on the blade. Sensitivity of the result to the end-wall boundary conditions (isothermal/adiabatic walls) and the inflow prof...

Design optimization of transonic airfoils for rotary blades is a challenging subject that remarkably affects the stage and overall performance axial-flow compressors. This paper describes surrogate-based multi-objective process over blade. blade works in first high-pressure pre-designed industrial axial compressor. It experiences massive separation behind an impinging shock wave its suction sid...

Power generation using waste-gas is an effective and green way to reduce the emission of the harmful blast furnace gas (BFG) in pig-iron producing industry. Condition monitoring of mechanical structures in the BFG power plant is of vital importance to guarantee their safety and efficient operations. In this paper, we describe the detection of crack growth of bladed machinery in the BFG power pl...

The throughflow level of approximation still remains an important tool for designing turbomachines [2] even though 3-D calculations are used more and more early in the design process. The throughflow models heavily rely on empirical inputs such as 2-D correlations or end-wall loss models. This feature has shown to be efficient but lack of generality. Two-dimensional empirical correlations are a...

Aeroelasticity is a critical consideration in the design of gas turbine engines, both for stability and forced response. Current aeroelastic models cannot provide highdelity aerodynamics in a form suitable for design or control applications. In this thesis low-order, highdelity aerodynamic models are developed using systematic model order reduction from computational uid dynamic (CFD) methods. ...

Fouling is an important performance degradation factor of axial flow compressor. Proper fouling sensitive parameter is crucial to more effectively monitor the fouling severity. Currently fouling level and cleaning necessity are judged by the decrease degree of thermodynamic performance parameter from macro point. But simulation research of NASA rotor 37 finds that tip clearance increase also ca...
