Engine Component

In the past three decades, it is very challenging for the researchers to design and development a best gas turbine engine component. Engine component has to face different operating conditions at different working environments. Nickel based superalloys are the best material to design turbine components. Inconel 718, Inconel 617, Hastelloy, Monel and Udimet are the common material used for turbine components. Directional solidification is one of the conventional casting routes followed to develop turbine blades. It is also reported that the raw materials are heat treated / age hardened to enrich the desired properties of the material implementation. Accordingly they are highly susceptible to mechanical and thermal stresses while operating. The hot section of the turbine components will experience repeated thermal stress. The halides in the combination of sulfur, chlorides and vanadate are deposited as molten salt on the surface of the turbine blade. On prolonged exposure the surface of the turbine blade starts to peel as an oxide scale. Microscopic images are the supportive results to compare the surface morphology after complete oxidation / corrosion studies. The spectroscopic results are useful to identify the elemental analysis over oxides formed. The predominant oxides observed are NiO, Cr2O3, Fe2O3 and NiCr2O4. These oxides are vulnerable on prolonged exposure and according to PB ratio the passivation are very less. In recent research, the invention on nickel based superalloys turbine blades produced through other advanced manufacturing process is also compared. A summary was made through comparing the conventional material and advanced materials performance of turbine blade material for high temperature performance.

The CGT301 ceramic gas turbine has been developed under a contract from NEDO as a part of the New Sunshine Program of MITI since 1988 to 1998. The CGT301 is a recuperated, single-shaft ceramic gas turbine. Ceramic parts are used in the hot section of the engine, such as turbine blades, nozzle vanes, combustion liners and so on. As a primary feature of this turbine, the rotors are composed of ceramic blades inserted into metallic disks (“hybrid rotor”) for the future applicability to the large gas turbine. The R & D program consists of three phases, the model metal gas turbine, the primary type ceramic gas turbine and the pilot ceramic gas turbine. The pilot ceramic gas turbine showed etable operation at TIT of 1,350°C. This paper presents the progress in the development of the pilot ceramic gas turbine of CGT301.

Micro Heat Exchanger

Nickel micro pin fin heat exchangers can be electroplated directly onto planar or non-planar metal surfaces using a derivative of the LIGA micromachining process. These heat exchangers offer the potential to more effectively control the temperature of surfaces in high heat flux applications. Of particular interest is the temperature control of gas turbine engine components. The components in the gas turbine engine that require efficient, improved cooling schemes include the gas turbine blades, the stator vanes, the turbine disk, and the combustor liner. Efficient heating of component surfaces may also be required (i.e., surfaces near the compressor inlet to prevent deicing). In all cases, correlations providing the Nusselt number and the friction factor are needed for such micro pin fin heat exchangers. Heat transfer and pressure loss experimental results are reported for a flat parallel plate pin fin micro heat exchanger with a staggered pin fin array, with height-to-diameter ratios of 1.0, with spacing-to-diameter ratios of 2.5 and for Reynolds numbers (based on the hydraulic diameter of the channel) from 4000 to 20,000. The results are compared to studies of larger scale, but geometrically similar, pin fin heat exchangers. To motivate further research, an analytic model is described which uses the empirical results from the pin fin heat exchanger experiments to predict a cooling effectiveness exceeding 0.82 in a gas turbine blade cooling application. As a final point, the feasibility of fabricating a relatively complex micro heat exchanger on a simple airfoil (a cylinder) is demonstrated.
