Turbine Overview
• Configurations (axial, radial, mixed), analysis and other issues similar to compressors
• Compared to compressors
– higher loading ho/U2 (or specific work) and pressure
ratio per stage - why?
• favorable pressure gradient
– usually much higher temperature inlet
• higher temperature materials (strength) and/or blade cooling

Axial Turbine Maps
• Larger stage pressure ratios and efficiencies then compressors
• Peak efficiency on-design
• For fixed RPM, larger pressure change (drop) at higher mass flowrate
– more work extracted per unit mass
• At high (corrected) mass flowrate, nozzle becomes choked

Blade Design: Degree of Reaction
• We have TWO blade
parameters to design
– rotor trailing edge (match 3)
– nozzle trailing edge (match 2)
• How to do this?

– allows us to distribute load (static pressure
change) between rotor and nozzle (or stator)
– how to relate static enthalpy change to
azimuthal velocity changes?

Compressor-Turbine Matching

• Need to “match” compressor and turbine stages on same spool

Turbine Stresses/Operational Limits
• Turbine blades experience large stresses: bending, thermal and centrifugal (rotor: 104-105 g)
• Materials exhibit significant loss of strength and enhanced creep at high T
– low strength at modern engine To4 (high ST, th) To4 >1400C (2500F)

• Consider a simplified version of a (half) turbine blade
• Inner cooling only
– neglect film and tip cooling for now
– hot gas (combustor products) flows over outer surface
– “cold” gas (bleed air) flowing over inner surface
– turbine blade “wall” in between
• How to analyze this “heat transfer” problem?

Conduction Heat Transfer
• Start with description of (conduction) heat transfer through the wall
– assume one-dimensional
– top side of wall uniform temp. (Touter)
– bottom side of wall uniform temp. (Tinner)
• Look at energy equation
– differential CV
– steady
• Need model for
– Fourier’s Law (1d)

Conduction and Thermal Conductivity
• For steady, uniform material
– T gradient is a constant
– so T varies linearly through wall
• Thermal conductivity
– insulators like ceramics have much lower conductivities than metals
• so TBC will produce much lower heat flux for same temperature gradient

Convective Heat Transfer
• Examine heat transfer between gas flow and blade wall
• Convective heat transfer
– due to fluid moving over surface
– thermal boundary layer develops, like momentum boundary layer
• Model
– so Twall varies downstream
– e.g., for laminar flow over flat plate

• In pipe/channel flow can’t assume infinite flow
– boundary layers meet and central flow changes with axial distance
• Now
• New expressions for h, e.g., for round tubes
– turbulent flow, profile still developing
