The ingestion and deposition of solid particulates within gas turbine engines has become a very significant concern for both designers and operators in recent times. Frequently aircraft are operated in environments where sand, ash, dust, and salt are present, which can drive damage mechanisms from long term component degradation to in-flight flame-out. Experiments are presented to assess deposition characteristics of sodium chloride (NaCl) at gas turbine secondary air system temperature conditions in horizontal pipe flow. Monodisperse NaCl particles were generated in the size range 2.0–6.5 µm, with gas temperatures 390–480 °C, and metal temperatures 355–730 °C. Two engine-representative surface roughnesses were assessed. An experimental technique for the measurement of deposited NaCl based on solution conductivity was developed and validated. Experiments were carried out under isothermal and nonisothermal/thermophoretic conditions. An initial experimental campaign was conducted under ambient and isothermal conditions; high temperature isothermal results showed good similarity. Under thermophoretic conditions, deposition rates varied by up to several orders of magnitude compared to isothermal rates.

New light super-heat-resistant powder Ni3Al and NiAl-based alloys (of the Ni-Al-Mo-B, Ni-Al-Fe-La, and Ni-Al-Y2O3 systems), as well as a new technology for preparing and processing them have been developed. The density of the alloys was 7.3-7.5 and ~6 g/cm 3, respectively. The Ni3Al sheets were used to prepare shields for combustion chambers in gas-turbine engines by roomtemperature deformation; the shields are intended for the long-term operation at 1100-1200°C and for the short-term use at 1300°C. The activated NiAl powders alloyed with Fe+La were used to produce sintered complex-shape articles, such as combustion stabilizers in a jet unit of combustion chamber of the gas-turbine installation, heat sources, etc. capable of operating at t≤1500°C under low mechanical stresses. At 1100, 1300, and 1500°C, the 100-h strength of the heat-resistant NiAl- (2-7.5) vol. % Y2O3 alloys subjected to directional recrystallization is 70, 35 and ≥10 MPa, respectively. The vanes, in which the length of recrystallized grain is smaller than the vane length by a factor of 1.5-2, were manufactured from these alloys.

Ever increasing demands for lower gas turbine operating costs have led to the need for longer lasting components. This in turn, requires the availability of alloys which are reliable to such long lifetimes. In the mill produced condition, most alloys have desirable microstructures and mechanical properties. However, after exposure to the harsh temperatures found in gas turbine engines, the microstructures of most alloys will begin to change. The effects on the mechanical properties of such microstructural changes can range from mild deterioration to significant degradation. In this paper, the effects of thermal exposures at temperatures from 1200 to 1600°F for durations up to one year on the mechanical properties of three wrought gas turbine alloys will be reported. The alloys will include HAYNES® 188 alloy (Co-Ni-Cr-W), HAYNES 230® alloy (Ni-Cr-W), and HAYNES HR-120® alloy (Fe-Ni-Cr-Nb-N).

The paper considers selected features of the protective ion-plasma coating deposition onto large-sized gas turbine components using vacuum-arc method by means of the MESh-50 and MAP-R pilot plants. The units have been developed based on the long-term operating experience of MAP-1 (MAP-1M) serial production. These plants are widely used in Russian and international aircraft-building complexes enabling all basic ion-plasma technological processes using standard cathodes made of nickel, cobalt, aluminum alloys and pure metals (Cu, Ti, Cr, Zr, etc.). The increased dimensions of the deposition chamber and the simultaneous use of several evaporators with pipe cathodes 180 mm in diameter and 540 mm high make it possible to apply coatings to large-sized components of gas turbine engines and plants, including such complex parts as “blisk” and “blink”.

From an operational availability stand point, the U.S. Navy is interested in the short term reliability of its ship based LM2500 gas turbine engines. That is the likelihood that an engine will operate successfully through a six-month deployment (usually 1500 to 2000 operational hours). From a maintenance and cost of ownership standpoint both the short-term and long-term reliability are of concern. Long-term reliability is a measure in time (in operating hours) between engine removals. To address these requirements U.S. Navy Fleet support maintenance activities employ a system of tests and evaluations to determine the likelihood that an LM2500 will meet its short and long-term goals. The lowest level inspection is the predeployment inspection, which attempts to identify primarily mechanical faults with the engine. Gas Turbine Bulletin inspections are used to determine if predefined wear out modes exists. Performance evaluations can be performed which determine the ability of the LM2500 and its control system to meet expected power requirements. Lube oil system data can be analyzed to determine if excessive leakage or excessive scavenge temperatures exist. Engine vibration characteristics can be reviewed to identify the source of both synchronous and nonsynchronous vibration and determine if corrective measures need to be taken. This paper will discuss how the lowest level inspections feed the more sophisticated analysis and how these inspections and evaluations work to provide a systematic method of insuring both short and long-term LM2500 reliability.

Gas turbine engines are constructed of components with excellent strength and stiffness, a minimum density, a high temperature capability for long times, and at affordable cost. Metallic materials are the centrepiece in fulfilling these requirements. Future gas turbine engines will have to have higher thrust-to-weight ratios, better fuel efficiencies and still lower costs. This will require new and advanced lightweight materials with higher temperature capabilities. This paper discusses some of the presently applied materials in the fan, compressor and turbine sections of gas turbines, and reviews the material developments that are occurring and will be necessary for the near and long term futures.

This paper details the on-going effort of NAVSEA Philadelphia to provide a command and control technology upgrade to the Model 139 Gas Turbine Generator Set, while deploying a novel approach to this process using Open System Architecture Condition Based Maintenance (OSA-CBM) archetype. The long-term goal of the process being implemented is to serve as the foundation for a communication and interfacing standardization for the marine gas turbine (GT) community. The topics to be discussed in this essay span from investigation to a proposed design, which includes physical measurement of parameters, sensor-Full Authority Digital Controller (FADC) interfacing, and overall system architecture.

Abstract Advances in thermal science force us to develop more efficient systems. The efficiency of widely-used gas turbine engines, is highly dependent on turbine inlet temperature. However, a high turbine inlet temperature yields material deterioration and long term degradation of turbines. To prevent material deterioration, cooling the hot zones of gas turbine engines, particularly turbine components and blades, is a priority. In this way, long term degradation of the turbine is prevented, while the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine engine is boosted. In the current paper, a flow field within a rib roughed blade internal cooling channel is discussed. Within this scope, a computational fluid dynamics analysis is conducted using a Standard k-ω turbulence model. After this, the same case is experimentally investigated. Experimental results obtained from particle image velocimetry measurements are used to validate the results of the computational fluid dynamics analysis. At the end of the study, the flow field is fully mapped with the recirculation and separation zones being clearly pinpointed.
