Spanwise Flow

This paper describes the design and development of a 15-stage axial flow compressor for a −6MW industrial gas turbine. Detailed aspects of the aerodynamic design are presented together with rig test data for the complete characteristic including stage data. Predictions of spanwise flow distributions are compared with measured values for the front stages of the compressor. Variable stagger stator blading is used to control the position of the low speed surge line and the effects of the stagger changes are discussed.

Solid Form

This paper discusses key design and development issues in utilizing coal and other solid fuels in gas turbines. These fuels may be burned in raw form or processed to produce liquids or gases in more or less refined forms. The use of such fuels in gas turbines requires resolution of technology issues which are of little or no consequence for conventional natural gas and refined oil fuels. For coal, these issues are primarily related to the solid form in which coal is naturally found and its high ash and contaminant levels. Biomass presents another set of issues similar to those of coal. Among the key areas discussed are effects of ash and contaminant level on deposition, corrosion, and erosion of turbine hot parts, with particular emphasis on deposition effects.

Regenerative Cycle

The Orenda OT-4 is a gas turbine which uses a simple regenerative cycle and is being developed as a multipurpose, continuous or emergency unit which will be competitive with the diesel engine and will retain the inherent advantages of the gas turbine. This development program is now in its fourth year. The design and development philosophies used in this engine are discussed briefly. The problems still facing the engine are indicated. Some of the experience and lessons learned from this program are discussed.

This paper describes the design and development of the CW182 two shaft variable geometry industrial gas turbine. This gas turbine is a scaled down version of the existing CW352 gas turbine. The methods used to scale the gas turbine are explained together with a detailed description of those areas that were not scaled but were completely redesigned. In addition, details of the testing carried out on the new design components are described.

Performance Results

The major considerations in the selection, design and development of a rotary regenerator for a vehicular gas turbine are discussed. The performance results, such as effectiveness, pressure loss and leakage of the regenerator in the General Motors Research GT-305 gas-turbine engine are presented in detail. A method for evaluating new heat-exchanger surfaces and the techniques used in developing the regenerator are also included.

Epicyclic Gear

The new epicyclic gear unit for the large Centaur gas turbine at 4600 hp employs the proven design features of the smaller epicyclic gear unit for the Saturn gas turbine. Hundreds of the Saturn units (at 1100 hp, 22,300–1800 rpm) are now in service. The reliability has been exceptionally good. Many units have now run more than 20,000 hr. The new gear unit is a “star compound” arrangement instead of the star first stage, planetary second stage used with the Saturn. The star compound arrangement is new to the gas turbine power field. Certain unique arrangement details are involved. The resulting design has fewer parts and is easier to assemble and disassemble than more conventional high-ratio epicyclic gear designs used in steam and gas turbine applications. Perhaps more important, the new design is very compact and it facilitates a much more integrated package of gas turbine, gear unit, and generator than has been seen so far in the gas turbine industry at this power rating. The testing of this unit reveals new insights into the internal dynamics of an epicyclic gear system.
