Finite Element Analysis of A Gas Turbine Rotor Blade

The document summarizes a finite element analysis of the rotor blades of a two-stage gas turbine. The analysis used ANSYS 15.0 software to evaluate the temperature distribution and resulting thermal stresses on the first stage rotor blade, as previous designs had only considered mechanical stresses. The software was used to analyze mechanical and radial elongations from forces and then determine the temperature distribution by inputting convective heat transfer coefficients calculated from empirical relations. Finally, the combined mechanical and thermal stresses on the rotor blade were analyzed along with radial elongations.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF A

GAS TURBINE ROTOR BLADE


ABSTRACT

In the present work the first stage rotor blade of a two-stage gas turbine has been analyzed for
structural, thermal using ANSYS 15.0, which is a powerful Finite Element Software. In the
process of getting the thermal stresses, the temperature distribution in the rotor blade has been
evaluated using this software.

The design features of the turbine segment of the gas turbine have been taken from the
preliminary design of a power turbine for maximization of an existing turbojet engine. It was
observed that in the above design, the rotor blades after being designed were analyzed only for
the mechanical stresses but no evaluation of thermal stress was carried out. As the temperature
has a significant effect on the overall stress on the rotor blades, it has been felt that a detail study
can be carried out on the temperature effects to have a clear understanding of the combined
mechanical and thermal stresses.

In the present work, the first stage rotor blade of the gas turbine has been analyzed using ANSYS
15.0 for the mechanical and radial elongations resulting from the tangential, axial and centrifugal
forces. The gas forces namely tangential, axial were determined by constructing velocity
triangles at inlet and exist of rotor blades. The rotor blade was then analyzed using ANSYS 15.0
for the temperature distribution. For obtaining temperature distribution, the convective heat
transfer coefficients on the blade surface exposed to the gas have to feed to the software. The
convective heat transfer coefficients were calculated using the heat transfer empirical relations
taken from the heat transfer design dada book. After containing the temperature distribution, the
rotor blade was then analyzed using ANSYS 15.0 for the combined mechanical and thermal
stresses. The radial elongations in the blade were also evaluated.
