Abstract: A novel test facility has been designed and setup for the investigation of the influence of stationary temperature, and thus thermally induced stress gradients with respect to the damage evolution of cooled gas turbine ...

Abstract: Today's and future parameters of stationary gas turbines and aircraft engines require intensive and highly efficient cooling of hot gas path components. High temperature and thermally induced stress gradients with impact ...

Abstract: Gas turbines and aircraft engines are dominated by cyclic operating modes with fatigue-related loads. This may result in the acceleration of damage development on the components. Critical components of turbine blades and ...

Abstract: Solar gas turbine (GT) systems provide the opportunity to utilize solar heat at a much higher temperature than solar thermal power plants based on steam turbine cycles. Therefore, GT technology has the potential to improve ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first experimental results of the systematic investigation of forced convection heat transfer in scaled generic models of steam turbine casing side spaces with varied geometric dimensions under fully ...
