INFLUENCE OF AXIAL AND RADIAL CLEARANCES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A TURBINE STAGE WITH BLUNT EDGE NON-TWISTED BLADES.
Abstract
The thesis was undertaken to determine the effects of axial and radial clearances on the performance of a single stage turbine with blunt leading edges and non-twisted blades. A series of tests was conducted on the so-called Mod II Turbine. The results of these tests are presented together with a comparison of the experimental results and results predicted by a three-dimensional turbine performance calculating method. In addition, measured flow conditions upstream of the stator, between the stator and the rotor, and at the rotor discharge are presented and compared with predicted values. (Author)
