Abstract:
Efficiency investigations were made on the two-stage turbine from a Mark 25 aerial torpedo to determine the performance of the unit with five different turbine nozzles. The output of the turbine blades was computed by analyzing the windage and mechanical-friction losses of the unit. A method was developed for measuring the change in turbine clearances with changed operating conditions. The turbine was found to be most efficient with a cast nozzle having a sharp-edged inlet to the nine nozzle ports.Keywords:

본 연구는 보조동력장치에 적용되는 구심터빈의 공력성능시험을 한국항공우주연구원의 고온 터빈 시험리그에서 수행한 결과이다. 리그시험을 위하여 터빈의 형상은 동일하되 팽창비, 마하수 및 유량계수는 실제 엔진과 동일한 값이 되도록 상사법칙을 적용하여 시험하였다. 설계 팽창비는 3.096이며, 상사된 설계회전수는 34909 rpm 이고 상사된 터빈 입구온도는 160℃이다. 터빈의 입구에는 익형 형상의 노즐이 설치되었으며 터빈 휠의 직경은 175.74㎜ 이다. 시험을 통하여 터빈의 성능지도가 생성되었으며 터빈 입구에서의 상세 유동이 측정되었다. 노즐의 허브면에서 측정한 압력과 노즐의 쉬라우드 면과 터빈 휠 케이싱에서 측정한 압력 분포를 볼 때 터빈 내부에서의 팽창과정이 적절함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Modern high performance gas turbine engines utilize film cooling to reduce the heat load on high-pressure turbine stage components, thereby increasing the maximum turbine inlet temperature at which the cycle can operate. However, increased turbine inlet temperature comes at the expense of a reduction in turbine efficiency. The objective of this research is to measure the aerodynamic performance of a film cooled turbine stage and to quantify the loss caused by film cooling. An un-cooled turbine stage was first fabricated with solid blading and tested using a newly developed short duration measurement technique. The stage was then modified to incorporate vane, blade and rotor casing film cooling. The film-cooled stage was then tested over a range of coolant-to-mainstream mass flow and temperature ratios for the same range of operating conditions (pressure ratios and corrected speeds) as the un-cooled turbine. This paper presents the experimental results for these two series of tests.

Abstract : The report gives the results of an investigation of three small sized turbine stages with various angles of fixation of the nozzle vanes. Factors are examined which influence the efficiency of the stage during the rotation of the nozzle vanes. A comparison is made with data of similar experiments on stages of large size. (Author)

A turbopump system composed of two pumps and one turbine is considered. The turbine composed of a nozzle and a rotor is used to drive the pumps while gas passes through the nozzle and potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which forces the rotor blades to spin. In this study, an aerodynamic design of turbine system is investigated with some pre-determined design requirements (i.e., pressure ratio, rotational speed, required power, etc.) following Liquid Rocket Engine (L.R.E) system specifications. For simplicity of turbine system, impulse-type rotor blades for open-type L.R.E. have been chosen. Usually, the open-type turbine system requires low mass flow-rate compared to close-type system. In this study, a partial admission nozzle is adopted to maximize the efficiency of the open-type turbine system. A design methodology of turbine system was introduced. Especially, partial admission nozzle was designed by means of simple empirical correlations between efficiency and configuration of the nozzle. Finally, a turbine system design is presented for a 10 ton thrust level of L.R.E.

Attributing to the large flow rate,high efficiency level reaction turbine is adoptive in staged combustion cycle liquid rocket engine.As both turbine inlet and outlet pressures are extremely high,but the pressure ratio is small the turbine load coefficient is great.To ensure the high level of turbine efficiency,optimum pneumatic design of turbine channel was employed.Given the turbine inlet temperature and pressure,rotate speed and power,based on AMDC/KQ formulae for turbine cascade losses,the correlating structure parameters of turbine meridional channel,cascade channel and blade form were optimized by one dimensional average-diameter pneumatic performance calculation.By this means,the influences of turbine cascade average diameter,blade height,cascade blade denseness,match between the stationary and rotor blade throats and rotor inlet structure angle were investigated,and the highest level of turbine efficiency was obtained.

This paper presents the results of an experimental cascade investigation of the aerodynamic performance of a 1.524-cm (0.6-in.) blade height, low aspect ratio, highly loaded, cooled turbine. The experimental program was performed with a cold flow annual sector cascade with various geometric and aerodynamic perturbations. The perturbation included nozzle endwall contour, inlet turbulence and velocity distortion, stator and rotor solidity, rotor loading and nozzle cooling flow and point of injection. The turbine design evolved through a parametric analysis considering a turboshaft engine configuration required to have a 750-hr life at design power output and satisfy realistic mechanical constraints. The gas generator turbine configuration selected for investigation was a single-stage turbine with a turbine inlet temperature of 1316 C (2400 F) and an actual work output of 418.68 kJ/kg, (180 Btu/lb). The baseline turbine was sized for a stage work coefficient of 5.0 at the hub radius and an average flow coefficient of 0.675 for a best mechanical-aerothermodynamic compromise to meet realistic engine constraints.

Investigations were made of the turbine from a Mark 25 torpedo to determine the performance of the unit with three different turbine nozzles at various axial nozzle-wheel clearances. Turbine efficiency with a reamed nondivergent nozzle that uses the axial clearance space for gas expansion was little affected by increasing the axial running clearance from 0.030 to 0.150 inch. Turbine efficiency with cast nozzles that expanded the gas inside the nozzle passage was found to be sensitive to increased axial nozzle-wheel clearance. A cast nozzle giving a turbine brake efficiency of 0.525 at an axial running clearance of 0.035 inch gave a brake efficiency of 0.475 when the clearance was increased to 0.095 inch for the same inlet-gas conditions and blade-jet speed ratio. If the basis for computing the isentropic power available to the turbine is the temperature inside the nozzle rather then the temperature in the inlet-gas pipe, an increase in turbine efficiency of about 0.01 is indicated.
