1. CFD Based External Heat Transfer Coefficient Predictions on a Transonic Film-Cooled Gas Turbine Guide Vane : A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study on the Von Karman Institute LS94 Test Case
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningsläraAbstract : The turbine inlet guide vanes of a gas-turbine are subjected to extreme hot gas temperatures which increases the risk of mechanical failure and overall reduces the component lifespan. Hence, it is of great interest for gas-turbine manufacturers to establish methods for accurately estimating the temperature distribution along the vane surface. READ MORE

3. Numerical simulations of the pressure time method in a full-scale turbine
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Efficiency measurements are an important part of operating and maintaining a hydroelectric turbine. In order to calculate the efficiency, one need a method to accurately measure the flow rate. The pressure time method is a way to calculate the flow rate from pressure measurements, which are done during a transient. READ MORE

4. Effect of Surface roughness for Hydro Turbine Step-up Efficiency
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : The energy produced by the flow of water is known as hydropower. It is an easily accessible and available source of energy in large quantity in the form of, rivers, lakes, streams and runoffs around the world. Hydropower is dependent upon hydrological cycle hence; this beneficial characteristic of hydropower makes it a renewable source of energy. READ MORE

5. CFD calculations and comparison with measured data in a film cooled 1.5 stage high pressure test turbine : With two configurations of swirlers clocking
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)Abstract : The gas turbine has an important role for the energy distribution due to its stability and flexibility. By increasing turbine inlet temperature (TIT) an increased thermal efficiency of the turbine can be achieved. The biggest limitation of the TIT is the material of the turbine components. READ MORE
