Abstract: Replacing natural gas fuels with coalderived syngas in industrial gas turbines can lead to molten particle deposition on the turbine components. The deposition of the particles, which originate from impurities in the syngas ...

Abstract: Endwall contouring is a technique used to reduce the strength and development of threedimensional secondary flows in a turbine vane or blade passage in a gas turbine. The secondary flows locally affect the external heat ...

Abstract: Everincreasing thermal loads on gas turbine components require improved cooling schemes to extend component life. Engine designers often rely on multiple thermal protection techniques, including internal cooling and external ...

Abstract: Multiple thermal protection techniques, including thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), internal cooling and external cooling, are employed for gas turbine components to reduce metal temperatures and extend component life. ...
