Engine Component

In the past three decades, it is very challenging for the researchers to design and development a best gas turbine engine component. Engine component has to face different operating conditions at different working environments. Nickel based superalloys are the best material to design turbine components. Inconel 718, Inconel 617, Hastelloy, Monel and Udimet are the common material used for turbine components. Directional solidification is one of the conventional casting routes followed to develop turbine blades. It is also reported that the raw materials are heat treated / age hardened to enrich the desired properties of the material implementation. Accordingly they are highly susceptible to mechanical and thermal stresses while operating. The hot section of the turbine components will experience repeated thermal stress. The halides in the combination of sulfur, chlorides and vanadate are deposited as molten salt on the surface of the turbine blade. On prolonged exposure the surface of the turbine blade starts to peel as an oxide scale. Microscopic images are the supportive results to compare the surface morphology after complete oxidation / corrosion studies. The spectroscopic results are useful to identify the elemental analysis over oxides formed. The predominant oxides observed are NiO, Cr2O3, Fe2O3 and NiCr2O4. These oxides are vulnerable on prolonged exposure and according to PB ratio the passivation are very less. In recent research, the invention on nickel based superalloys turbine blades produced through other advanced manufacturing process is also compared. A summary was made through comparing the conventional material and advanced materials performance of turbine blade material for high temperature performance.

Abstract The static and transient performance of a gas turbine engine is determined by both the characteristics of the engine components and their interactions. This paper presents a generalized simulation framework that enables the integration of different component and system simulation codes. The concept of engine simulation integration and its implementation model is described. The model is designed as an object-oriented system, in which various simulation tasks are assigned to individual software components that interact with each other. A new design rationale called “message-based modeling” and its resulting class structure is presented and analyzed. The object model is implemented within a heterogeneous network environment. To demonstrate its flexibility, the codes that deal with different engine components are separately programmed on different computers running various operating systems. These components communicate with each other via a CORBA compliant ORB, which simulates the overall performance of an engine system. The resulting system has been tested on a Local Area Network (LAN) to simulate the transient response of a three-shaft gas turbine engine, subject to small fuel step perturbations. The simulation results for various network configurations are presented. It is evident that in contrast to a standalone computer simulation, the distributed implementation requires much longer simulation time. This difference of simulation efficiency is analyzed and explained. The limitations of this endeavor, along with some future research topics, are also reported in this paper.
