Industrial and aeroderivative gas turbines when used in CHP and CCPP applications typically experience an increased exhaust back pressure due to pressure losses from the downstream balance-of-plant systems. This increased back pressure on the power turbine results not only in decreased thermodynamic performance but also changes power turbine secondary flow characteristics thus impacting lives of rotating and stationary components of the power turbine. This Paper discusses the Impact to Fatigue and Creep life of free power turbine disks subjected to high back pressure applications using Siemens Energy approach. Steady State and Transient stress fields have been calculated using finite element method. New Lifing Correlation [1] Criteria has been used to estimate Predicted Safe Cyclic Life (PSCL) of the disks. Walker Strain Initiation model [1] is utilized to predict cycles to crack initiation and a fracture mechanics based approach is used to estimate propagation life. Hyperbolic Tangent Model [2] has been used to estimate creep damage of the disks. Steady state and transient temperature fields in the disks are highly dependent on the secondary air flows and cavity dynamics thus directly impacting the Predicted Safe Cyclic Life and Overall Creep Damage. A System-level power turbine secondary flow analyses was carried out with and without high back pressure. In addition, numerical simulations were performed to understand the cavity flow dynamics. These results have been used to perform a sensitivity study on disk temperature distribution and understand the impact of various back pressure levels on turbine disk lives. The Steady Sate and Transient Thermal predictions were validated using full-scale engine test and have been found to correlate well with the test results. The Life Prediction Study shows that the impact on PSCL and Overall Creep damage for high back pressure applications meets the product design standards.

Abstract The regional aircraft with a turbofan gas turbine engine, created in Russia, is successfully operated in the world market. Further increase of the life and reduction of the cost of the life cycle are necessary to ensure the competitive advantages of the engine. One of the units limiting the engine life is the compressor rotor. The cyclic life of the rotor depends on many factors: the stress-strain state in critical zones, the life of the material under low-cycle loading, the regime of engine operation, production deviations (within tolerances), etc. In order to verify the influence of geometry deviations, the calculations of the model with nominal dimensions and the model with the most unfavorable geometric dimensions (worst cases) have been carried out. The obtained influence coefficients for geometric and weight tolerances are then used for probabilistic modeling of stresses in the critical zone. Rotor speed and gas loads on the blades for different flight missions and engine wear are determined from the corresponding aerodynamic calculations taking into account the actual flight cycles (takeoff, reduction, reverse) and are also used for stress recalculations. The subsequent calculation of the rotor cyclic life and the resource assessment is carried out taking into account the spread of the material low-cycle fatigue by probabilistic modeling of the rotor geometry and weight loads. A preliminary assessment of the coefficients of tolerances influence on stress in the critical zone can be used to select the optimal (in terms of life) tolerances at the design stage. Taking into account the actual geometric and weight parameters can allow estimating the stress and expected life of each manufactured rotor.
