Gas turbine is an important functional part of many applications. Cooling of blades has been a major concern since they are in a high temperature environment. Various techniques have been proposed for the cooling of blades and one such technique is to have axial holes along the blade span. Finite element analysis is used to analyze thermal and structural performance due to the loading condition, with material properties of Titanium- Aluminum Alloy. Six different models with different number of holes (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) were analyzed in this paper to find out the optimum number of holes for good performance. In Finite element analysis, first thermal analysis followed by structural analysis is carried out. Graphs are plotted for temperature distribution for existing design (12 holes) and for 8 holes against time. 2D and 3D model of the blade with cooling passages are shown. Using ANSYS, bending stress, deflection, temperature distribution for number of holes are analyzed. It is found that when the numbers of holes are increased in the blade, the temperature distribution falls down. For the blade configuration with 8 holes, the temperature near to the required value i.e., 800ºC is obtained. Thus a turbine blade with 8 holes configuration is found to be the optimum solution. Keywords: Gas turbine blade; Stress; Deflection; Temperature distribution. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/sw.v9i9.5514 SW 2011; 9(9): 29-33

In this paper, the finite element analysis for stress/deformation/modes of vibration for the centrifugal fan impeller with constant thickness backward-curved blades using CATIA software will be presented. The principal steps of the finite element analysis procedure using CATIA/Generative Structural Analysis environment will be presented: creating the 3D model; configuring the mesh; applying the restraints; applying the loads; running the numerical static analysis and the numerical frequency analysis; interpreting the results and observing the modes of vibration correlating with the impeller mode shape. This procedure will be used for 4 different centrifugal fan impellers according with the 4 blade design methods and the results will be comparatively analyzed. For each design method, two materials will be used: steel with density of 7860 kg/m3 and aluminium with density of 2710 kg/m3. Two important results have been obtained after the structural analysis: under the working conditions considered for the analysis, all 4 blade design methods leads to impellers with very good mechanical behaviour; any frequency of the main modes of vibrations for all blade design methods and for both materials is not in phase with the impeller speed, thus the possibility of resonance being eliminated.

A semi-analytical solution for plane velocity fields describing steady-state incompressible flow of nonlinearly viscous fluid into an elliptical opening is presented. The flow is driven by hydrostatic pressure applied at infinity. The solution is obtained by minimizing the rate of energy dissipation on a sufficiently flexible incompressible velocity field in elliptical coordinates. The medium is described by a power creep law and solutions are obtained for a range of exponents and ellipse eccentricites. The obtained solutions compare favorably with results of finite element analysis.
