In this paper, the effect of cavity geometry of a squealer blade tip on its thermal performance is investigated. Numerical analyses were performed for three depth-to-width ratios for a cooled squealer tip. Also investigated is the effect of cooling introduction into the flow tip and the effect of rotation via the comparison of stationary and rotational domains where the latter was simulated by rotating the blade. The rotational speed and boundary conditions used in the numerical study are chosen to represent the turbine operating environment. The blade tip used had a cooling configuration consisting of seven holes of the same size located on the tip near the blade pressure side. The study presents a discussion on the flow physics within the tip gap and heat transfer on the blade tip. Film-cooling performance of the considered blade tip geometries is demonstrated using distributions of film-cooling effectiveness. It is observed that both the rotation and the addition of cooling at the tip significantly alter the tip gap flow, which is found to have a strong effect on the blade tip heat transfer. The addition of cooling increased the heat transfer coefficient on the blade tip, while an increase in the rim height resulted in higher film effectiveness since the amount of leakage flow entering the cavity floor was reduced.

Effects of camberwise varying tip injection on loss and wake characteristics of a low pressure turbine blade
Mercan, Bayram; Dogan, Eda; Ostovan, Yashar; Uzol, Oğuz (2015-08-01)
This paper presents the results of an experimental study that investigates the effects of camberwise varying tip injection on the total pressure loss and wake flow characteristics downstream of a row of Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) blades. This injection technique involves spanwise jets at the tip that are issued from a series of holes distributed along the camber line. The injection from each hole is individually and separately controlled using a computer driven solenoid valve and therefore the flow injectio...
The effect of magnisium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology of graphite cast iron produced at differrent section thicknesses
ELMABROUK, Omar; ERFAN, Osama M.; Kalkanlı, Ali (2011-09-18)
This paper is concerned with the investigation of the effect of magnesium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology and estimation of the ranges of this ratio use to produce graphite cast iron at different section sections. The main factors affecting shape of graphite cast iron are the metallurgical structures and the section thicknesses. Cast iron of different shapes of graphite particles directly affect its thermo-mechanical properties. The nodular shape of these graphite particles such as in ductile cas...
Effects of tip injection on the performance and near wake characteristics of a model wind turbine rotor
Abdulrahim, Anas; Anik, Ezgi; Ostovan, Yashar; Uzol, Oğuz (2016-04-01)
This paper presents an investigation of the effects of tip injection on the performance and near wake characteristics of a model wind turbine rotor. Experiments are conducted by placing a three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine rotor at the exit of an open-jet wind tunnel. The rotor blades are non linearly twisted and tapered with NREL 5826 airfoil profile. The nacelle, hub and the blades are specifically designed to allow pressurized air to pass through and get injected from the blade tips while the roto...
Effect of expandable graphite on flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane composites filled with huntite&hydromagnesite mineral
Guler, Turkan; Tayfun, Umit; Bayramlı, Erdal; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-10)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) was studied on the flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) containing huntite&hydromagnesite (HH). According to the flammability tests results, the synergistic interaction was observed between HH and EG. The maximum limiting oxygen index (LOI value was observed at a ratio of 1:1 (HH:EG) and the highest vertical burning test (UL-94) rating of V0 was observed at a ratios of 4:1, 3:2 and 1:1. The synergistic interaction betwe...
Effect of Turbine Blade Tip Cooling Configuration on Tip Leakage Flow and Heat Transfer
Sakaoğlu, Sergen; Kahveci, Harika Senem (2019-06-21)
The pressure difference between suction and pressure sides of a turbine blade leads to the so-called phenomenon, the tip leakage flow, which most adversely affects the first-stage high-pressure (HP) turbine blade tip aerodynamics. In modern gas turbines, HP turbine blade tips are also exposed to extreme thermal conditions requiring the use of tip cooling. If the coolant jet directed into the blade tip gap cannot counter the leakage flow, it will simply add up to the pressure losses due to this leakage flow....
