Investigation of turbines suitable for use in a turbojet engine with high compressor pressure ratio and low compressor-tip speed I : turbine-design requirements for several engine operating conditions

In order to insure satisfactory turbine performance under five turbojet-engine operating conditions, turbine design requirements were determined for the following operating conditions: take-off, maximum thrust at altitude, altitude cruising at rated rotative speed, altitude cruising with maximum-thrust exhaust nozzle area, and engine acceleration at 80 percent equivalent design rotative speed. If cruising is to be at rated engine speed, both cruising and take-off should be considered in turbine design. Design requirements for the other conditions are nearly identical. Without compressor-exit bleed, a turbine cannot accelerate this compressor at 80 percent of rated speed; with 28.6-percent bleed, the design requirements are within those for take-off.

Investigation of Turbines Suitable for Use in a Turbojet Engine Wtih High Compressor Pressure Ratio and Low Compressor-tip Speed V : Experimental Performance of Two-stage Turbine with Downstream Stator

An experimental investigation of a highly loaded two-stage turbine with a downstream stator revealed that (1) at equivalent design work and speed the brake internal efficiency was 0.81 and the maximum efficiency obtained was 0.85, and (2) the downstream stator left very little energy in the form of tangential velocity in the gas and, in general, performed well with 0.78 recovery being obtained at equivalent design work and speed.

Investigation of Turbines Suitable for Use in a Turbojet Engine with High Compressor Pressure Ratio and Low Compressor-tip Speed VI: Experimental Performance of Two-stage Turbine

The brake internal efficiency of the highly loaded two-stage turbine was 0.79 equivalent design work and speed. The maximum brake internal efficiency was 0.84. A radial survey revealed these major defects: (1) the first-rotor throat area was too large, and a large area of underturned flow existed near the tip;(2) considerable underturning existed at the second-stator outlet; and (3) tangential components of velocity at the turbine outlet amounted to 2.5 points in turbine efficiency.

Investigation of Turbines Suitable for Use in a Turbojet Engine with High Compressor Pressure Ratio and Low Compressor-tip Speed VII : Experimental Performance of Modified Two-stage Turbine

Modifying the original turbine by closing down the first-rotor throat area and shrouding the first and second rotors resulted in an over-all increase in in efficiency of 3.5 percentage points. At equivalent design work and speed the rating and aerodynamic efficiences of the modified turbine were 0.825 and 0.846, respectively. The maximum rating and erodynamic efficiencies were 0.875 and 0.906, respectively. A radial survey indicated improved firstively. A radial survey indicated improved first and second-stage efficiencies but showed that the effective throat areas of the second stator and rotor were too large.
