It is desirable to further increase the efficiency of turbo machines. In axial flow gas turbine, imprecise axial gap and tip clearance are two significant sources of inefficiency. This work investigates the effect of change in parameters such as axial gap and tip clearance on axial flow gas turbine used in power generation. Different combinations of axial gap and tip clearance have been tested ...

The results from two numerical simulations of the unsteady flow in a 1-1/2 stage axial-flow turbine are presented and compared with experimental data to show both the effect of blade count on the solution accuracy and the time-averaged and unsteady flow physics present. The TFLO three-dimensional, multi-block, massively parallel turbomachinery flow solution procedure is used to simulate the flo...

design models of multi- stage, axial flow compressor are developed for gas turbine engines. axial flow compressor is one of the most important parts of gas turbine units. therefore, its design and performance prediction are very important. one-dimensional modeling is a simple, fast and accurate method for performance prediction of any type of compressors with different geometries. in this appro...

flow in the first two-stage of v 94.2 gas turbine is simulated numerically. in this turbine, the second stator is clocked relative to the first stator to different positions. steady-state analysis was carried out by varying the circumferential relative position of the consecutive stator vanes to study the effects of the clocking on turbine performance. a density based compressible inviscid flow...

in high-pressure axial turbines, when the fluid mass flow is low, the supersonic blades are being used to obtain a high specific work output. to prevent losses due to low blade aspect ratio, the turbine is used in partial admission conditions. the turbine stator is a group of convergence-divergence nozzles that provides the supersonic flow. the design of these nozzles is important, because ther...
