This paper aims at the structures of heavy gas turbine rotor’s support, the analyze method of fluid-solid couple and that of thermal-solid couple is adopted to simulate by ANSYS CFX, by compared with the deformation of the different structures of their support, it sums up that the tangential support is the best structure. Furthermore, the deformation of the tangential support under different conditions is analyzed, such as the different temperature of gas and the ultimate load of shaft, that supports the research of the working mechanism of the sliding bearing and the dynamic characterization, and finally the research achievements are expanded to apply the study of the stability of shaft power, providing a basis for the study and development of the future’s gas turbine technology.

Based on modular modeling idea, the modular model of marine generation system was set by the technology of systematic simulation. One set of simulation models of marine gas turbine generation system was generated. Results show that flywheel energy storage device can enhance the stability of power grid and play a better role in making marine gas turbine generation system stable under heavy load fluctuations.

This paper describes the aerodynamic design and analysis of a high-pressure, single-stage axial flow turbine suitable for small gas turbine engine application using computational methods. The specifications of turbine were based on the need of a typical high-pressure compressor and geometric restrictions of small gas turbine engine. Baseline design parameters such as flow coefficient, stage loading coefficient are close to 0.23 and 1.22 respectively with maximum flow expansion in the NGV rows. In the preliminary design mode, the meanline approach is used to generate the turbine flow path and the design point performance is achieved by considering three blade sections at hub, mean and tip using the AMDC+KO+MK+BSM loss models to meet the design constraints. An average exit swirl angle of less than 5 degrees is achieved leading to minimum losses in the stage. Also, NGV and rotor blade numbers were chosen based on the optimum blade solidity. Blade profile is redesigned using the results from blade-to-blade analysis and through-flow analysis based on an enhanced Dawes BTOB3D flow solver. Using PbCFD (Pushbutton CFD) and commercially available CFD software ANSYS-CFX, aero-thermodynamic parameters like pressure ratios, aerodynamic power, and efficiencies are computed and these results are compared with one another. The boundary conditions, convergence criterion, and turbulence model used in CFD computations are set uniform for comparison with 8 per cent turbulence intensity. Grid independence study is performed at design point to optimize the grid density for off-design performance predictions. ANSYS-CFX and PbCFD have predicted higher efficiency of 3.4% and 1.2% respectively with respect to targeted efficiency of 89 per cent.

Reverse flow combustors were widely used in small and micro gas turbine engines. The wall area of this type of combustors was quite large. And there were two flow turning points in their flow-path. Thus the wall cooling and main flow dilution were two intrinsic problems for them. Apart from that, their high pressure losses and heavy weight were also two problems which seriously deteriorate the performance of the engines. Moreover, their primary hole jets on opposite walls were non-symmetrical, which would affect the stability and intensity of the recirculation flows. In order to improve the combustion performance, a new conceptual Z-flowpath combustor was proposed. The new combustor consisted of two 45 degree yawing instead of returning in the main flow-path. The flowfield of the new combustor was predicted by the commercial code FLUENT, after a validation for the flowfield in a model reverse flow combustor with previous experimental results. The prediction showed that the flowfield of the primary zone in the Z-flowpath combustor was highly symmetrical, the size and the intensity of the recirculation zone were about 10 and 2 times greater than the normal reverse flow combustor, respectively, while the pressure loss and the total area of the flame tube wall of the Z-flowpath combustor were decreased dramatically to be 69.4% and 51% of that in the reverse flow combustor, respectively.

Appropriate maintenance of Cu(I) homeostasis is an essential requirement for proper cell function because its misregulation induces the onset of major human diseases and mortality. For this reason, several research efforts have been devoted to dissecting the inner working mechanism of Cu(I)-binding proteins and transporters. A commonly adopted strategy relies on mutations of cysteine residues, for which Cu(I) has an exquisite complementarity, to serines. Nevertheless, in spite of the similarity between these two amino acids, the structural and functional impact of serine mutations on Cu(I)-binding biomolecules remains unclear. Here, we applied various biochemical and biophysical methods, together with all-atom simulations, to investigate the effect of these mutations on the stability, structure, and aggregation propensity of Cu(I)-binding proteins, as well as their interaction with specific partner proteins. Among Cu(I)-binding biomolecules, we focused on the eukaryotic Atox1-ATP7B system, and the prokaryotic CueR metalloregulator. Our results reveal that proteins containing cysteine-to-serine mutations can still bind Cu(I) ions; however, this alters their stability and aggregation propensity. These results contribute to deciphering the critical biological principles underlying the regulatory mechanism of the in-cell Cu(I) concentration, and provide a basis for interpreting future studies that will take advantage of cysteine-to-serine mutations in Cu(I)-binding systems.

We discuss the results of experiments that illustrate some features of a turbulent mixing zone (TMZ) structure at a gas–liquid interface (Rayleigh–Taylor instability) and at a gas–gas interface accelerated by shock waves (Richtmyer–Meshkov instability). The important feature is the existence of a heavier substance concentration (density) jump at the interface between the heavy medium and the TMZ. It is found that the existence of this jump is a generic feature of any developed TMZ and is the necessary condition for its continuous development. In the case of a gas–liquid interface, the stable existence of this jump is connected with the stability of the cupola of gas bubbles penetrating into the liquid in a TMZ. The important feature of the development of interface instability accelerated by an unsteady shock is the decaying ability (up to full suppression) of the interface instability in the case when a decaying wave passes through the interface in the direction from light gas to heavy gas.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. developed the M501H gas turbine to improve the efficiency and power of G series using closed steam cooling of stage 1 and 2 blades and vanes following the firm’s experience in the construction of the D, F and G series. Development included elementary tests for pre-verification and trial operation using a combined plant verification plant to reach 220MW in May 1999 and to verify the stability of the steam cooling rotor, cooling properties of blades and vanes, and the efficiency of major components. The few remaining items can be easily taken care of. The next operation is planned to complete verification.
