Turbomachinery Design Considerations EGR 4347 Analysis and Design of Propulsion Systems
Important Parameters • Compressor Efficiency, c • Stage Efficiency, s • Polytropic Efficiency, ec • Stage Pressure Ratio, s • Overall Pressure Ratio, c
Degree of Reaction • Desirable value around 0.5
Diffusion Factor • Quantifies the correlation between total pressure loss and deceleration (diffusion) on the upper (suction) surface of blade (rotor and stator) • is the solidity – the ratio of airfoil chord to spacing
Parameters Affecting Turbine Blade Design Vibration Environment Number of Blades Tip Shroud Airfoil Shape Inlet Temperature Trailing-Edge Thickness Blade Cooling Allowable Stress Levels (AN2) (N = Speed, RPM) Material Service Life Requirements

Turbine Mechanical Detailed Design • Detailed Design Accomplishes Two Functions: • Verify Assumptions/Choices Made in Preliminary Design • Provide Detailed Geometry Required to Achieve Preliminary Design Goals • Detail Mechanical Design Disciplines: • Materials Selection - satisfy life/performance goals • Secondary Flow Analysis - define/control nonflowpath air (e.g. cooling) • Heat Transfer - component temperature definition • Stress Analysis - component stresses • Vibration Analysis - design to avoid natural frequencies • Life Analysis - define component life for all failure modes

Turbine Mechanical Design • AN2: Rotor Exit Annulus Area x [Max Physical Speed]2 • Units: in2 x RPM2 x 1010, typical values: 0.5<AN2<10 x1010 • Typical Limits: • Cooled Blade < 5 x 1010 • Advanced Technology < 6.5 x 1010 • Uncooled Solid Blade < 10 x 1010 • LPT < 7 x 1010 • Use max physical speed; not design point or TO speed • Blade Airfoil Stress is Primarily Driven by AN2 • Blade Pull Load Driven by AN2
Turbine Mechanical Design – Hub and Tip Speed Limits • rhw2: Hub radius x 2p/60 x Max Physical RPM • Units: ft/s • Typical Values: • HPT - 1000 ft/s < rhw2< 1500 ft/s • LPT - 500 ft/s < rhw2< 1000 ft/s • Use max physical RPM; not design point or TO speed • Disk Stress is Driven Primarily by rhw2 • Disk and Blade Attachment Stresses are a function of rhw2 and AN2
