Cold Air Performance of a 12.766-Centimeter-Tip-Diameter Axial-Flow Cooled Turbine. 2: Effect of Air Ejection on Turbine Performance

摘要

An air cooled version of a single-stage, axial-flow turbine was investigated to determine aerodynamic performance with and without air ejection from the stator and rotor blades surfaces to simulate the effect of cooling air discharge. Air ejection rate was varied from 0 to 10 percent of turbine mass flow for both the stator and the rotor. A primary-to-air ejection temperature ratio of about 1 was maintained.
