Unique High-Resolution Temperature Mapping of Stage 1 Turbine Vane in a Long-Term Engine Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, surface temperature maps resulting from a long-term engine test were evaluated on a stage 1 turbine vane using thermal history coatings (THCs). THCs are ceramic-type sensor coatings doped with a lanthanide ...
High-Resolution Thermal Profiling of a Combustor in a Non-Dedicated Test Using Thermal History Coatings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The requirement for reduced emissions and the growing demand for gas turbine efficiency are in part met through increasing firing temperatures. However, development budgets leave only limited time for dedicated thermal ...
Validation of Surface Temperature Measurements on a Combustor Liner Under Full-Load Conditions Using a Novel Thermal History Paint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ever-increasing requirements on gas turbine efficiency and the simultaneous demand for reduced emissions, necessitate much more accurate calculations of the combustion process and combustor wall temperatures. Thermal ...
Validation of Thermal History Coating Technology on Two Stage-One Turbine Blades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Small and midsize gas turbines for distributed power generation have been widely used in recent years, with designers constantly seeking to improve efficiency by increasing operating temperatures. Therefore, accurate thermal ...
Thermal Profiling of Automotive Turbochargers in Durability Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A major portion of the development of an automotive powertrain system is devoted to robustness and durability testing to ascertain the viability of the design. For turbochargers, thermo-mechanical fatigue is often considered ...
