Pure copper was subjected to high-pressure surface rolling (HPSR) to obtain a surface gradient layer. Effects of HPSR parameters on the surface microstructure and microhardness of Cu were investigated by using optical microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and the microhardness test. The HPSR surface layer has a gradient microstructure consisting of increasingly refined grains with decreasing depth from the treated surface (DFS). The thicknesses of the refined surface layer can be up to ~1.8 mm, and the grain size of the topmost surface is down to ~88 nm, depending on the HPSR parameters including pressure, time, and temperature. Microhardness of HPSR samples increases with decreasing DFS, with a maximum of ~2.4 times that of the undeformed matrix. The present results indicated that HPSR could be an effective method for the production of a mm-thick surface layer on Cu with gradient microstructure and property.

Abstract Conjugate heat transfer analysis method has been highlighted for predicting heat exchange between fluid domain and solid domain inside high-pressure turbines, which are exposed to very harsh operating conditions. Then it is able to assess the overall cooling effectiveness considering both internal cooling and external film cooling at the cooled turbine design step. In this study, high-pressure turbine nozzles, which have three different film cooling holes arrangements, were numerically simulated with conjugate heat transfer analysis method for predicting overall cooling effectiveness. The film cooling holes distributed over the nozzle pressure surface were optimized by minimizing the peak temperature, temperature deviation. Additional internal cooling components such as pedestals and rectangular rib turbulators were modeled inside the cooling passages for more efficient heat transfer. The real engine conditions were given for boundary conditions to fluid and solid domains for conjugate heat transfer analysis. Hot combustion gas properties such as specific heat at constant pressure and other transport properties were given as functions of temperature. Also, the conductivity of Inconel 718 was also given as a function of temperature to solve the heat equation in the nozzle solid domain. Conjugate heat transfer analysis results showed that optimized designs showed better cooling performance, especially on the pressure surface due to proper staggering and spacing hole-rows compared to the baseline design. The overall cooling performances were offset from the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness. Locally concentrated heat transfer and corresponding high cooling effectiveness region appeared where internal cooling effects were overlapped in the optimized designs. Also, conjugate heat transfer analysis results for the optimized designs showed more uniform contours of the overall cooling effectiveness compared to the baseline design. By varying the coolant mass flow rate, it was observed that pressure surface was more sensitive to the coolant mass flow rate than nozzle leading edge stagnation region and suction surface. The CHT results showed that optimized designs to improve the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness also have better overall cooling effectiveness.

In this paper, three-dimensional multiblade row unsteady Navier–Stokes simulations at a hot streak temperature ratio of 2.0 have been performed to reveal the effects of rotor tip clearance on the inlet hot streak migration characteristics in high pressure stage of a vaneless counter-rotating turbine. The numerical results indicate that the migration characteristics of the hot streak in the high pressure turbine rotor are dominated by the combined effects of secondary flow, buoyancy, and leakage flow in the rotor tip clearance. The leakage flow trends to drive the hotter fluid toward the blade tip on the pressure surface and to the hub on the suction surface. Under the effect of the leakage flow, even partial hotter fluid near the pressure surface is also driven to the rotor suction surface through the tip clearance. Compared with the case without rotor tip clearance, the heat load of the high pressure turbine rotor is intensified due to the effects of the leakage flow. And the results indicate that the leakage flow effects trend to increase the low pressure turbine rotor inlet temperature at the tip region. The air flow with higher temperature at the tip region of the low pressure turbine rotor inlet will affect the flow and heat transfer characteristics in the downstream low pressure turbine.

In this paper, three-dimensional multiblade row unsteady Navier-Stokes simulations at a hot streak temperature ratio of 2.0 have been performed to reveal the effects of rotor tip clearance on the inlet hot streak migration characteristics in high pressure stage of a Vaneless Counter-Rotating Turbine. The hot streak is circular in shape with a diameter equal to 25% of the high pressure turbine stator span. The hot streak center is located at 50% of the span and the leading edge of the high pressure turbine stator. The tip clearance size studied in this paper is 2.0mm (2.594% high pressure turbine rotor height). The numerical results indicate that the hot streak mixes with the high pressure turbine stator wake and convects towards the high pressure turbine rotor blade surface. Most of hotter fluid migrates to the pressure surface of the high pressure turbine rotor. Only a few of hotter fluid rounds the leading edge of the high pressure turbine rotor and migrates to the suction surface. The migration characteristics of the hot streak in the high pressure turbine rotor are dominated by the combined effects of secondary flow, buoyancy and leakage flow in the rotor tip clearance. The leakage flow trends to drive the hotter fluid towards the blade tip on the pressure surface and to the hub on the suction surface. Under the effect of the leakage flow, even partial hotter fluid near the pressure surface is also driven to the rotor suction surface through the tip clearance. Compared with the case without rotor tip clearance, the heat load of the high pressure turbine rotor is intensified due to the effects of the leakage flow. And the results indicate that the leakage flow effects trend to increase the low pressure turbine rotor inlet temperature at the tip region. The air flow with higher temperature at the tip region of the low pressure turbine rotor inlet will affect the flow and heat transfer characteristics in the downstream low pressure turbine.

This paper investigates the vane airfoil and inner endwall heat transfer for a full-scale turbine stage operating at design corrected conditions under the influence of different vane inlet temperature profiles and vane cooling flow rates. The turbine stage is a modern 3D design consisting of a cooled high-pressure vane, an un-cooled high-pressure rotor, and a low-pressure vane. Inlet temperature profiles (uniform, radial, and hot streaks) are created by a passive heat exchanger and can be made circumferentially uniform to within ±5% of the bulk average inlet temperature when desired. The high-pressure vane has full cooling coverage on both the airfoil surface and the inner and outer endwalls. Two circuits supply coolant to the vane, and a third circuit supplies coolant to the rotor purge cavity. All of the cooling circuits are independently controlled. Measurements are performed using double-sided heat-flux gauges located at four spans of the vane airfoil surface and throughout the inner endwall region. Analysis of the heat transfer measured for the uncooled downstream blade row has been reported previously. Part I of this paper describes the operating conditions and data reduction techniques utilized in this analysis, including a novel application of a traditional statistical method to assign confidence limits to measurements in the absence of repeat runs. The impact of Stanton number definition is discussed while analyzing inlet temperature profile shape effects. Comparison of the present data (Build 2) to the data obtained for an uncooled vane (Build 1) clearly illustrates the impact of the cooling flow and its relative effects on both the endwall and airfoils. Measurements obtained for the cooled hardware without cooling applied agree well with the solid airfoil for the airfoil pressure surface but not for the suction surface. Differences on the suction surface are due to flow being ingested on the pressure surface and reinjected on the suction surface when coolant is not supplied for Build 2. Part II of the paper continues this discussion by describing the influence of overall cooling level variation and the influence of the vane trailing edge cooling on the vane heat transfer measurements.
