Operating characteristics of a high radius pre-swirl cooling system

An experimental investigation into pre-swirl effectiveness and receiver hole discharge coefficient characteristics for a high radius injection pre-swirl cooling systems was carried out on a physically representative experimental rig with a 450 mm diameter rotor.The receiver holes and pre-swirl nozzle were located at a radius of 181 mm and 180 mm respectively.The experimental work was mainly conducted at 5 000～12 000 r/min,4 bar absolute pressure and 1.132 kg/s air supply.The maximum air supply temperature was 190 ℃.Pressure and temperature distributions in the pre-swirl system were examined with an emphasis on the velocity effectiveness of the pre-swirl system as a whole and on the discharge coefficients of the rotating 'receiver holes' in the rotor.The results showed that the velocity effectiveness increased with increasing swirl ratio resulting in reduced blade cooling flow temperature.Different seal flow configurations caused very different effectiveness at different speeds,but outflow through the inner and outer seals always gave the highest effectiveness compared other configurations.Increasing the seal flow rate reduced the effectiveness.For the coefficient of discharge,except for the low speed range,it increased with increase in swirl ratio for most speeds.      

Error Measures for Normal Random Variables

Four commonly used measures of error are the root mean square error (RMSE), the geometric mean error (GME), the mean radial error (MRE), and the circular or spherical error probable (CEP, SEP). Exact or approximate closed form expressions are given. for each for zero mean, normal random variables in two and three dimensions. Numerical comparison of the measures suggests the relationship GME ? SEP(CEP) < MRE ? RMSE.     

使用液态化学循环的高热效率动力研究(英文)

要使碳氢燃油在常规燃烧循环中高效燃烧,需要非常高的温度,化学循环燃烧可以为大型动力装置提供一个可行的方法。在化学循环燃烧中,使用含氧介质分子来传输两个氧化还原反应之间的氧气,含氧介质在一个反应中被氧化,在另一个与燃油的反应中被减少。从燃烧残余物中分离出含氧介质可以借助于不同的物态,如果介质用钠、钾或锌,这是液态化学循环燃烧的显著优点。液态化学循环燃烧的原理是能量和熵的循环,在考虑用于分离氮和二氧化碳零部件效率、结合水燃气交换、以及用空气作为氧气源的情况下,高的热效率(35Pa下约75%)在理论上可以达到。     

The effect of inlet conditions on the flow and heat transfer in multiple rotating cavity with axial throughflow

This paper discusses experimental results from two different build configurations of a heated multiple rotating cavity test rig.Measurements of heat transfer from the discs and tangential velocities are presented.The test rig is a 70% full scale version of a high pressure compressor stack of an axial gas turbine engine.Of particular interest are the internal cylindrical cavities formed by adjacent discs and the interaction of these with a central axial throughflow of cooling air.Tests were carried out for a range of non-dimensional parameters representative of high pressure compressor internal air system flows(Re up to 5×106 and Rez up to 2×105).Two different builds have been tested.The most significant difference between these two build configurations is the size of the annular gap between the(non-rotating) drive shaft and the bores of the discs.The heat transfer data were obtained from thermocouple measurements of surface temperature and a conduction solution method.The velocity measurements were made using a two component,LDA system.The heat transfer results from the discs show differences between the two builds.This is attributed to the wider annular gap allowing more of the throughflow to penetrate into the cavity.There are also significant differences between the radial distributions of tangential velocity in the two builds of the test rig.For the narrow annular gap,there is an increase of non-dimensional tangential velocity V/Ωr with radial location to solid body rotation V/Ωr=1.For the wider annular gap,the non-dimensional velocities show a decrease with radial location to solid body rotation.
