ABSTRACT

A heat transfer analysis was made of acomposite wall shroud consisting of a ceram-ic thermal barrier layer bonded to a porousmetal layer which, in turn, is bondeO to ametal base. The porous metal layer servesto mitigate the strain differences betweenthe ceramic and the metal base. Variouscombinations of ceramic and porous metallayer thicknesses and of porous metal densi-ties and thermal conductivities were inves-tigated to determine the layer thicknessesrequired to maintain a limiting temperaturein the porous metal layer. Analysis showeothat the composite wall offered significantair cooling flow reductions compared to anall-impingement air-cooled all-metal shroud.

THE WALLSHROUDSabove high pressure turbineblades of current aircraft gas turbine en-gines are metallic structures and need to becooled to reduce thermal distortions, crack-ing, and oxidation. This cooling is ob-tained by air bled from the engine compres-sor. Since the bleeding of the air from thecompressor reduces engine cycle efficiency,reduction of the cooling air requirement isdesired.

The use of a layer of ceramic on thehot gas-side of the shroud structure, asstudied in references (i to 3)* can signifi-cantly reduce the coolant flow requirementand/or reduce the shroud metal tempera-tures. Wear measurement of conventionalshrouds of large, high bypass turbofan en-gines indicate that local metal removalcaused by turbine blade rub is generally inthe range of 0.76 mm(0.030 in.) deep;therefore, in a composite shroud, the ceram-ic layer thickness must be at least 0.76 mm(0.030 in.) to preclude exposure of themetal support structure by blade rubs.

Several approaches have been investiga-ted in regard to adherence of thermallysprayed ceramics to the metal support struc-ture. The simplest approach is to thermallyspray ceramics directly on the solid metalsupport structure. However, data in refer-ence (3) indicate that the adherence of ce-ramics is poor when thick ceramic layers inthe range of 22 mm(0.08 in.) are sprayeddirectly on the metal substrate. Two possi-ble reasons for poor adherence are (1) largethermal stresses through the thick ceramiclayers under transient operation and (2)high stress due to abrupt change in materialthermal expansion at the ceramic/metal in-terface. These effects are mitigated andthe adherence of a thick ceramic layer isenhanced by employing graded ceramic/metallayers (4) in which the thermal expansioncoefficient is tailored by changing the per-centage of metal in the intermediate lay-ers. However, reference (4) reports thatexcessive stresses exist in the ceramic toplayer and a means to build in beneficialresidual stresses is needed. Another ap-

proach, the one of concern in this paper, is Stepka and Ludwigto use a compliant, generally low densityand low modulus, interlayer between the ce-ramic and metal base. In this composite 2wall concept, the compliant layer acts tomitigate the strain difference between the

ceramic layer and the metal base. Possibleinterlayer materials are various types ofporous metals such as felt, woven and foammetals. Thermal shock studies (5) revealedthat this compliant concept is more effec­tive in reducing thermal stresses than thegraded layer concept.

The objective of the study reportedherein was to analytically examine the vari­ables that affect the design of a compositewall shroud consisting of a metal base, aninterlayer of porous metal and an outerlayer of yttria stabilized zirconia.

Based on considerations of low oxida­tion and long life, the maximum allowabletemperatures of the porous metal of the com­posite shroud, and the all-metal shroud wereset at 1144 K (16000 F) for current mate­ri~ls and 1200 K (17000 F) for advancedmaterials. Both the composite and all~metal

shrouds were assumed to only be impingementair cooled. The gas and coolant conditionsassumed were those of an advanced gas tur­bine.

The overall thickness of the compositewall shroud was kept the same as on typicalall-metal shroud (5.59 mm (0.220 in.)). Thesolid metal wall thickness of the compositeshroud was held constant at 2.03 mm (0.080in.) to maintain structural integrity. Thevariables investigated for the compositeshroud were (1) ceramic thicknesses from 0.5to 3.06 mm (0.02 to 0.12 in.), (2) corre­sponding porous-metal thicknesses from 3.06to 0.5 mm (0.12 to 0.02 in.), (3) porous­metal density from 10 to 50 percent of afully dense material, and (4) two porousmetals with thermal conductivities that dif­fered by a factor as much as 6, and (5) ra­tios of cooling airflow to turbine gas flowfrom near zero to 0.03.

The data are presented as curves oftemperatures through the composite shroudfor various coolant- to gas-flow ratios forselected thicknesses of layers and for vari­ous porous-metal densities. Comparisons aremade between the various composite shroudcombinations and the all- metal shroud.

ANALYSIS AND CONDITIONS

HEAT BALANCE - An element of the com­posite turbine shroud, shown in Fig. 1, wasanalyzed for the assumed engine conditionsand geometry shown in Table 1. Radiationwas neglected and heat flow was assumed one­dimensional through the ceramic thermalbarrier, the porous-metal interlayer, andthe metal wall. The effective gas and cool­ing air temperature Tg and Tc wereassumed equal to their respective total tem­peratures. For these assumptions the heatflow equations are

hg(Tg - Tbo) = Rb(Tbo - Tbi) = Rp(Tpo - Tpi)

= Rw(Two - Twi) = hc(Twi - Tc) (1)

This set of equations was used in a computerprogram to calculate the desired surface andinterface temperatures. Equations (1)required gas- to-surface and surface-to-

coolant heat transfer coefficients. Thegas-to-surface heat transfer coefficient wasobtained from the equation of heat transferreported in reference (6). This equation,developed from experimental heat transferstudies on a turbine shroud, is

NUg = hgC/Kg = 0.052 RegO.8(l - 20°. 8) (2)

where 6 is the tip-clearance to blade-spanratio. The gas-side Reynolds number Rewas evaluated at an assumed average gas ~achnumber of 0.8, the characteristic dimensionof the blade chord, and the gas propertiesnear the shroud surface. The transport gasproperties were obtained from the data ofreference (7).

Impingement cooling of the metal wallwas assumed. For this cooling method, thecoolant-side heat transfer coefficient wasobtained from the correlation from reference(8), which in the notation of this report is

Nu = h D /K = AS Rem PrO•33(Z/D )0.091 (3)c . c c c c c cwhere, for an assumed 3000 < Re c < 30 000,

A = eXP[0.026(Xc/Dc)2 - 0.8259(Xc/Dc) - 0.398~

B = 1{1 + 0.4696(WxI/WcDdo.965] (5)

m= -0.00252(Xc/Dc)2 + 0.06849(Xc/Dc ) + 0.50699

(6 )

The following fixed geometry values wereassumed for the previous equations: ratioof jet-to-wall distance to hole diameterIIDc = 15, a ratio of hole spacing-to­diameter (Xc/Dc) = 10, a ratio of crossflowto jet-flow (Wx/Wc) = 1.0, and a hole di­ameter Dc = 0.51 mm (0.02 in.). Substitu­ting these values into equations (4) to (6)and then into equation (3) along with appro­priate coolant properties values from refer­ence (7) results in

The coolant Reynolds number was determinedfrom the following equation:

This equation is then substituted into equa­tion (7), which for assumed turbine gas flowrate and values of coolant- to gas-flowratio Rc, and provides the needed valuesof coolant-side heat transfer coefficients.

COMPOSITE SHROUD CONFIGURATIONS ANDMATERIALS - Fig. 1 depicts the compositeshroud configuration consisting of a metalsupport, an interlayer of porous metal, anda sprayed ceramic layer which is exposed tothe turbine gas flow. The overall radialthickness of the shroud was 5.59 mm (0.220in.) and was based on the consideration ofreplacing a specified all-metal shroud withceramic composite shrouds. Analysis of therelative structural strengths of the shroudswas not made since it was considered outsidethe scope of the present paper. The raaialthickness of the metal support base was se­lected to be 2.03 mm (0.080 in.) for allconfigurations. Therefore the combined ra­dial thickness of the ceramic and porous­metal layers was 3.56 mm (0.140 in.) for allconfigurations. The thicknesses of the ce­ramic and porous-metal layers were variedand the temperatures and cooling flow re­quirements were determined. The porous­metal thickness was varied from 0.5 to 3.06mm (0.02 to 0.12 in.) which corresponds to aceramic thickness variation of 3.06 to 0.5mm (0.12 to 0.02 in.) (see Table 2). Thedensity of the porous-metal interlayer wasalso an independent variable in the studyand was varied from 0.1 to 0.5 of solidmetal.

The values of thermal conductivityneeded for the conductance terms in equation(1) for the metal wall (MAR-M-509) and theceramics (yttria stabilized zirconia) wereobtained from references (9) and (10), re­spectively. Two different porous metalscomposed of the same materials (FeNiCrA1Y)were considered; they differed in structureand thermal conductivity. Porous-metal 1was a felt-type material and porous-metal 2was an open-cell foam-type material. The

thermal conductivity for porous-metal type 1was obtained from the following equationwhich was fitted to the data of reference(11) for various relative densities dpand average temperatures Tp:

-41 (5.4x10 T)

Kpl = 4.5 dp•38 e P W/m/K (10)

since there was no empirical data for thethermal conductivity for porous metal 2, itwas assumed that the thermal conductivitywas a linear function of material density.The published thermal conductivity data for100 percent dense FeNiCrA1Y alloy (12} wasadjusted for density by the following equa­tion:

Kp2 = dp(6.38 + 0.018 Tp) W/m/K (11)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results of the heat transfer analy­sis of composite shroud designs and compari­sons with an all-metal shroud (where bothshrouds were impingement air-cooled) arepresented in Figs. 2 to 4. The compositeshroud is illustrated in Fig. 1, and theassumed engine conditions and geometry aregiven in Table 1.

COMPARISON OF COMPOSITE AND ALL-METALSHROUDS - The calculated results for theall-metal shroud for coolant- to gas flow­ratios as high as 0.06 are shown in Fig.2(a). The figure shows little reduction inmetal temperature with increasing coolantflow ratio. The calculations showed thatthe specified maximum metal temperature of1144 K (16000 F) could not be obtainedeven with a coolant- to gas-flow ratio ashigh as 0.10. Therefore, for the conditionsof the analysis, impingement cooling aloneis not suffic~ent or practical for the all­metal shroud. The impingement cooling wouldneed to be supplemented by film-cooling, orthe shroud would require low thermal conduc­tivity rub material on the gas side to re­duce the heat flux, metal temperatures, andcooling flow ratio.

By way of comparison, Fig. 2(b) showsthe temperatures in the composite shroud.The composite shroud in Fig. 2(b) consistedof 1.78 mm thickness of ceramic and a 1.78mm thickness of porous-metal 2 with a 0.2density. The metal temperatures for thecomposite shroud are significantly lowerthan for the all-metal shroud at the same or

lower coolantflow ratios. Data in Fig.2(b) for the compositeshroud indicatethatthe maximum allowablemetal temperatureisreachedat a coolant- to gas-flowratio of0.02. The data in Fig. 2(b) show the verylarge insulativeeffect of the ceramic. Forexample, at a coolant-to gas-flowratio of0.02 the temperaturedrop throughthe ceram-ic layer is 426 K (7660 F). Another ob-servationis that the combined insulativeeffect of the ceramic layer and porous-metallayer causes the gas-sideceramicsurfacetemperatureto be very near the gas tempera-ture.

EFFECTSOF POROUS-METALDENSITYANDTHERMALCONDUCTIVITY- Fig. 3 shows the tem-peraturesof compositeshrouds (ceramicandporous-metallayerseach 1.78 mm thick) as afunctionof coolingflow ratio for porous-metal types I and 2 (with differentdensitiesand with inherentdifferencesin

thermalconductivities). For the two densi-ties and for the range of porous-metaltem-peraturesin Fig. 3, it can be determinedfrom equations(10) and (11) that porous-metal 2 has a thermalconductivityfour tosix times higher than porous-metal1. For adensityof 0.2 and a temperatureof 1144 K(16000F), porous-metal2 has a thermalconductivity5.9 higher than porous-metal1.

Fig. 3 shows the effect of increasingthe densitiesof the porousmaterialsfrom0.2 to 0.5. As density is increased,theporous-metalgas-sidetemperatureis re-duced; this occurs becausethermalconduc-tivity increaseswith density,thus result-ing in increasedheat transferfrom the por-ous metal. The beneficialeffect of thegreaterthermalconductivityof porous-metal2 compared to porous-metal1 is apparentwhen comparingFig. 3. Fig. 3 also showsthat the coolant- to gas-flowratio requiredto obtain the 1144 K (16000F) maximumporous-metaltemperatureis 0.02 for porous-metal 2 with a 0.2 density. However,porous-metalI with a 0.2 densitycould notbe cooled to this temperatureeven with veryhigh coolantflows, if the densityofporous-metal1 was increasedto 0.5, the

maximum allowableporous-metaltemperature Stepka and Ludwigcould be obtainedat a coolantflow ratio of0.024.

In the design of a compositeshroud, 8the configurationparametersincludethelayer thicknessesas well as the porousmetal densityand thermalconductivity. Theporous-metaldensity,layer thickness,andstructure(felt,foam, or woven), in addi-

tion to their effect on heat flow and shroudtemperatures,are factorswhich will affectthe stress,adherence,and durabilityof thecompositewall. Although stress analysisisnot addressedin this paper, a genera]ob-servationfrom thermalstress and cycliclife considerationsis that lower porous-metal densitieswith their associatedlowermodulus of elasticityare desired. Fromaconsiderationof handlingand structuralintegrity,a lower limit on the densityofthe porouswall is assumedto be about 0.2.

EFFECTSOF LAYER THICKNESS- Fig. 4presentsthe resultsof the analysisin aform which shows how porous-metaltempera-ture varieswith changes in thicknessesofthe ceramicand porousmetal layersfor agiven coolantflow ratio.

The effect of the differentthermalconductivitiesof the two differentporousmaterialsis apparentfrom Fig. 4. A gener-al observationis that, as the ceramic layerthicknessdecreases,the porous-metalden-sity must increaseto maintain a given tem-perature. This is due to the fact that ahigher thermalconductivityin the porous-metal,is requiredto accommodatethe in-creasedheat flux and to maintain the allow-able temperaturelimitson the porousmetalat 1144 K (1600° F) for currentmaterialsor 1200 K (17000F) for advancedmaterials.

Fig. 4 shows that the higher theallowableporous-metaltemperature(1200 K(17000F)) is, the lower the porous-metaldensitiesat a given ceramiclporous-metalthicknessratio can be. InspectionofFig. 4 also revealsthat the porous layertemperaturedecreaseswith decreasingporouslayer thicknessand increasingceramiclayerthicknessfor a constantporous layer den-sity. As the porous-metaldensity is in-creased,the porous-metaltemperatureisdecreasedfor given ceramicand porous-metalthicknesses. As an example,for a 0.2 den-sity and a 1144 K (1600° F) temperaturelimit,porous-metalI would need to be about0.91 mm (0.036 in.) thick with a layer ofceramic2.64 mm (0.104 in.) thick to satisfythe heat load and coolingconditionsselec-

ted. On the other hand, porous-metal2 with Stepka and Ludwigthe same densitywould be 1.78 mm (0.07 in.)thick with a 1.78 mm (0.07 in.) thick layerof ceramic. The choice,as stated in theprevioussection,would be influencedby 9thermalstress considerationswhich dictatea selectionof the lowermodulusporouslayer,that is, porous-metal 2 with

the thickerporousmetal layersand thecorrespondinglythinnerceramic layer.

SUMMARYOF RESULTS

The analysisprovideda basis for eval-uating the effects of variableson the de-sign of compositeturbineshroudswhich con-sisted of the metal case wall, an interlayerof a porousmetal, and an outer layer ofceramic (yttriastabilizedzirconia). Theresultswere as follows:

1. Significantreductionsin the cool-ing-airto gas-flowratio are indicatedforthe compositeshroudscomparedto an all-metal shroud that was only impingementaircooled. This is based on the same maximumallowabletemperaturefor the all-metalshroud and for the porousmetal interlayerof the compositeshroud.

2. The good insulatingpropertiesofthe ceramicsignificantlyreducedthe tem-peraturesof the porousmetal and supportwall, but also caused the gas-sidesurfacetemperatureof the ceramicto be essentiallyat the gas temperature.

3. For a given porous metal densityandcoolant-to gas-flowratio, decreasingthethicknessof the porous-metaland in-creasingceramicthicknessresulted in lowersupportwall temperatures.

4. To maintain given allowableinter-layer temperaturesand coolant- to gas-flowratios,porous-metaldensityor thermalconductivitymust increaseas the ratio ofthe thicknessof the ceramic-to-porousmetaldecreases.

CONCLUDINGREMARKS

In general,thermalcycle lifeconsid-erations (refs.5 and 13) would indicatemore compliant,lower densitiesof porousmetal for the compositewall designs. Alsothe porous layer thicknessmust be largeenough to providethe needed strain isola-tion betweenthe ceramic layer and the metalbase. Thereforea high thermalconductivityat a low densityin the porous layer isneeded. Based on the foregoingand an as-sumed lower limiton porous-metaldensity Stepkaand Ludwig(consideringthe compositewall handlingandstructureintegrity)a 1.78 mm (0.07 in.)thicknessof porousmaterial2 with a den- 10sity of 0.2 and a 1.78 mm (0.07 in.) thick-ness of ceramicappearsto be a good compos- \

ite wall configurationsfor the assumedcon-ditions.

The insulatingpropertyof the ceramiclayer causes the ceramicsurfacetemperatureto be almostequal to the engine gas temper-ature. A detrimentalresult of the highsurfacetemperaturewould be an increaseinradiationto turbineparts. This may re-quire supplementalcoolingof these parts.

16. Abstract

A heat transfer analysis was made of a composite wall shroud consisting of a ceramic thermal

barrier layer bonded to a porous metal layer which, in turn, is bonded to a metal base. The

porous metal layer serves to mitigate the strain differences between the ceramic and the metalbase. Various combinations of ceramic and porous metal layer thicknesses and of porous metal

densities and thermal conductivities were investigated to determine the layer thicknesses re-

quired to maintain a limiting temperature in the porous metal layer. Analysis showed that the

composite wall offered significant air cooling flow reductions compared to an all-impingement

air-cooled all-metal shroud.
