In this paper, the effects of shroud movement on transonic flow and heat transfer in the vicinity of turbine tip was studied by using three-dimensional simulation of GE-E3 first-stage HPT. Aerothermal performance and flow structure were analyzed with and without turbine shroud moving, respectively. Based on the distribution of limiting streamlines and the vortex structures, the influential characteristics between the leakage flow and the secondary flow generated by shroud movement were studied. Moreover, the coefficient of heat transfer at the wall were investigated. Results show that the flow structure is changing with the movement of turbine shroud, and the location of the separation line changes significantly by the influence of the secondary flow. The leakage vortex initial location delayed in axial direction and its breakdown point located at 65% cross section. This accelerates the mixing loss and increase the perturbation. In addition, it is observed that the coefficient of average heat transfer is increased obviously by 54.8% in the region of shroud surface. However, this coefficient in the region of suction surface decreased by 11.9%.

Calculation Code

The present work is a contribution to the development of a calculation code that determines the temperature field on fins having rectangular geometry for any bi-dimensional or three-dimensional simulation conditions. Different cases of simulations are presented. An implicit finite volume method, unconditionally stable, is extended in this study for the discretization of the governing equations. The representative results, validated by the Ansys code, show that the fin temperature increases with the increase of the temperature values selected as the boundary conditions, with the addition of a heat flow or any additional heat source. The numerical results are very consistent with the theory and the results obtained from commercialized codes. By increasing the diffusivity one converge more quickly towards the stationary solution. Upon reducing the fin size a very drastic shift occurs from the transient regime to a permanent one. In the case of a refinement of the mesh, the use of a very small epsilon ensures the convergence. Therefore, the results obtained in this study serve as basis of comparison with any other study on heat transfer on rectangular fins.

Dimensional Simulation

The NH3 uniformity and conversion rate produced by the urea–water solution spray system is an essential factor affecting de-NOx efficiency. In this work, a three-dimensional simulation model was developed with the CFD software and was employed to investigate the effects of two typical injection methods (wall injection and center injection) and three distribution strategies (pre-mixer, post-mixer, pre-mixer, and post-mixer) of two typical mixers on the urea conversion rate and uniformity. The field synergy principle was employed to analyze the heat transfer of different mixer flow fields. The results show that the single mixer has instability in optimizing different injection positions due to different injection methods and injection positions. The dual-mixer is stable in the optimization of the flow field under different conditions. The conclusion of the field synergy theory of the single mixer accords with the simulation result. The Fc of the dual-mixer cases is low, but the NH3 conversion and uniformity index rate are also improved due to the increase in the residence time of UWS.

A three-dimensional mathematic model is developed for a 100kw single-end recuperative radiant tube and the simulation is performed with the CFD software FLUENT. Also it is used to investigate the effect of distance between combustion chamber exit and inner tube on heat transfer process. The results suggest that the peak value of combustion flame temperature drops along with the increasing of distance, which leads to low NOX discharging. Also radiant tube surface bulk temperature decreases, which causes radiant tube heating performance losses.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the flow field and heat transfer performance of the Cross-Wavy Primary Surface (CWPS) recuperators for microturbines. Using high-effective compact recuperators to achieve high thermal efficiency is one of the key techniques in the development of microturbine in recent years. Recuperators need to have minimum volume and weight, high reliability and durability. Most important of all, they need to have high thermal-effectiveness and low pressure-losses so that the gas turbine system can achieve high thermal performances. These requirements have attracted some research efforts in designing and implementing low-cost and compact recuperators for gas turbine engines recently. One of the promising techniques to achieve this goal is the so-called primary surface channels with small hydraulic dimensions. In this paper, we conducted a three-dimensional numerical study of flow and heat transfer for the Cross-Wavy Primary Surface (CWPS) channels with two different geometries. In the CWPS configurations the secondary flow is created by means of curved and interrupted surfaces, which may disturb the thermal boundary layers and thus improve the thermal performances of the channels. To facilitate comparison, we chose the identical hydraulic diameters for the above four CWPS channels. Since our experiments on real recuperators showed that the Reynolds number ranges from 150 to 500 under the operating conditions, we implemented all the simulations under laminar flow situations. By analyzing the correlations of Nusselt numbers and friction factors vs. Reynolds numbers of the four CWPS channels, we found that the CWPS channels have superior and comprehensive thermal performance with high compactness, i.e., high heat transfer area to volume ratio, indicating excellent commercialized application in the compact recuperators.
