Stagnation Enthalpy

This paper provides a physical interpretation of the mechanism of stagnation enthalpy and stagnation pressure changes in turbomachines due to unsteady flow, the agency for all work transfer between a turbomachine and an inviscid fluid. Examples are first given to illustrate the direct link between the time variation of static pressure seen by a given fluid particle and the rate of change of stagnation enthalpy for that particle. These include absolute stagnation temperature rises in turbine rotor tip leakage flow, wake transport through downstream blade rows, and effects of wake phasing on compressor work input. Fluid dynamic situations are then constructed to explain the effect of unsteadiness, including a physical interpretation of how stagnation pressure variations are created by temporal variations in static pressure; in this it is shown that the unsteady static pressure plays the role of a time-dependent body force potential. It is further shown that when the unsteadiness is due to a spatial nonuniformity translating at constant speed, as in a turbomachine, the unsteady pressure variation can be viewed as a local power input per unit mass from this body force to the fluid particle instantaneously at that point.

This paper describes a new conceptual framework for three-dimensional turbomachinery flow analysis and its use to assess fan stage attributes for mitigating adverse effects of inlet distortion due to boundary layer ingestion (BLI). A nonaxisymmetric throughflow analysis has been developed to define fan flow with inlet distortion. The turbomachinery is modeled using momentum and energy source distributions that are determined as a function of local flow conditions and specified blade camber surface geometry. Comparison with higher-fidelity computational and experimental results shows the analysis captures the principal flow redistribution and distortion transfer effects associated with BLI. Distortion response is assessed for a range of (i) design flow and stagnation enthalpy rise coefficients, (ii) rotor spanwise work profiles, (iii) rotor–stator spacings, and (iv) nonaxisymmetric stator geometries. Of the approaches examined, nonaxisymmetric stator geometry and increased stage flow and stagnation enthalpy rise coefficients provide the greatest reductions in rotor flow nonuniformity, and may offer the most potential for mitigating performance loss due to BLI inlet distortion.

Stagnation Enthalpy

This paper describes the problems encountered in the design, operation, and calibration of a small momentum balance fitted within an isokinetic sampling probe located in the test section of a wet steam ‘wind’ tunnel. The probe is suitable for use in air, dry steam, or wet steam. It has an opening of ½ in diameter, a maximum diameter of 1¼ in, and a length of 4½ in, and will detect momentum forces greater than 0·001 lbf. The signal is transmitted by causing the impulse cage to compress a bellows. Turpentine enclosed therein raises the level of its meniscus in a capillary tube and the change in level is observed with a micrometer microscope. An electrical superheating calorimeter is employed in series with the impulse-measuring probe to determine the stagnation enthalpy of the sample. Results are reported for air and steam. For steam the ranges of the respective variables are: pressure, 20–25 inHg vacuum; velocity, 200–500 ft/s; and wetness, 0–10 per cent by weight. Owing to the small size of the momentum cage it was not possible to isolate the contribution to the total momentum made by the entrained liquid.
