An Experimental Investigation of Simultaneous Heat-Flux And AIRFOIL, PLATFORM, AND COOLING PASSAGE MEASUREMENTS ON A ROTATING TRANSONIC HIGH-PRESSURE TURBINE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeremy B. Nickol, M.S. Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Randall M. Mathison, Advisor Professor Michael G. Dunn, Co-Advisor Professor Sandip Mazumder Professor Jeffrey P. Bons Copyright by Jeremy B Nickol 2016 ABSTRACT An experiment was performed at The Ohio State University Gas Turbine Laboratory for a film-cooled high-pressure turbine stage operating at design-corrected conditions, with variable rotor and aft purge cooling flow rates. Several distinct experimental programs are combined into one experiment and their results are presented. Pressure and temperature measurements in the internal cooling passages that feed the airfoil film cooling are used as boundary conditions in a model that calculates cooling flow rates and blowing ratio out of each individual film cooling hole. The cooling holes on the suction side choke at even the lowest levels of film cooling, ejecting more than twice the coolant as the holes on the pressure side. However, the blowing ratios are very close due to the freestream massflux on the suction side also being almost twice as great. The highest local blowing ratios actually occur close to the airfoil stagnation point as a result of the low freestream massflux conditions. The choking of suction side cooling holes also results in the majority of any additional coolant added to the blade flowing out through the leading edge and pressure side rows. A second focus of this dissertation is the heat transfer on the rotor airfoil, which features uncooled blades and blades with three different shapes of film cooling hole: cylindrical, diffusing fan shape, and a new advanced shape. Shaped cooling holes have ii previously shown immense promise on simpler geometries, but experimental results for a rotating turbine have not previously been published in the open literature. Significant improvement from the uncooled case is observed for all shapes of cooling holes, but the improvement from the round to more advanced shapes is seen to be relatively minor. The reduction in relative effectiveness is likely due to the engine-representative secondary flow field interfering with the cooling flow mechanics in the freestream, and may also be caused by shocks and other compressibility effects within the cooling holes which are not present in low speed experiments. Another major focus of this work is on the forward purge cavity and rotor and stator inner endwalls. Pressure and heat transfer measurements are taken at several locations, and compared as both forward and aft purge flow rates are varied. It is seen that increases in forward purge rates result in a flow blockage and greater pressure on the endwalls both up and downstream of the cavity. Thus, even in locations where the coolant does not directly cover the metal surface, it can have a significant impact on the local pressure loading and heat transfer rate. The heat transfer on the platform further downstream, however, is unchanged by variations in purge flow rates. iii Dedicated to my mother, for instilling my love of learning, and to my father, for creating my obsession with how things work iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was partially funded by the Aviation Applied Technology Directorate under Agreement No. W911W6-08-2-0011 and partially funded by the Federal Aviation Administration under Agreement No. DTFAWA-10-C-00040.

Approved for public release: distribution is unlimited. First I would like to thank my original advisor, Professor Michael G. Dunn, for first giving me the opportunity to work in The Ohio State University Gas Turbine Laboratory, providing me with four years of financial support through a Graduate Research Associateship, and paying for me to attend conferences in San Antonio, Düsseldorf, Phoenix, and Seoul. Your door has always been open to me, and I can’t count the times you’ve explained something to me, or helped me see the big picture when bogged down with insignificant details. I’ll also miss our Monday-morning quarterbacking, discussions on the relative merits of flat plates, and all of your great stories and one-liners. It has not v only been an honor to work for you for five years, but also a great pleasure. “I haven’t had this much fun since the hogs ate my sister!” Second I’d like to thank my advisor Dr. Randall Mathison. You’ve been my main mentor since I first arrived, teaching me not only the specific processes and systems in place at the GTL, but answering my questions about gas turbine operation and theory, and general engineering and aviation principles as well. You’ve been a great resource to bounce ideas off of, and have always been willing to take the time to point me in the right direction when I got stuck. I would also like to thank the other two professors on my dissertation committee: Dr. Sandip Mazumder, and Dr. Jeff Bons. In addition to serving on my committee, they have been two of the best teachers I have had the privilege of learning from. I would also like to thank Honeywell Engines in Phoenix, Arizona for their continued support of me and this project. Honeywell provided the majority of the engine hardware utilized for this work, as well as much of the funding. In particular, I would like to thank Jong Liu, Kuo-San Ho, and Benjamin Kamrath for performing the CFD computation that is used in this dissertation, Rajiv Rana for extensive work in the design of the experiment, Malak Malak for management of the project, and Mark Morris for many thoughtful comments and contributions. Thanks also go to fellow graduate student Matt Tomko for performing much of the early analysis on the pressure data in the purge cavity, providing me with a good foundation from which to work. vi This dissertation would not have been possible without the technical expertise of Jeff Barton, Dr. Igor Ilyin, Ken Fout, and Jonny Lutz in the design, building, and instrumenting of the experiment. Additionally, thanks to Josh Guith for assisting me in the machine shop on more than one occasion, and undergraduate research assistants Chris Cosher, Kevin McManus, Eric Barbe, Miles Reagans, and Richard Celestina for help with the many miscellaneous tasks associated with the experiment. I am also grateful for the administrative assistance I received. Thanks to Cathy Mitchell, and Steve Pruchnicki for assistance out here at the GTL with purchasing and travel authorization and reimbursement. Janeen Sands was also instrumental for helping me to cut through the red tape and answering my countless questions about the convoluted processes and copious paperwork required to do anything at this University. This dissertation is just one in a long line of works on rotating turbine stages presented by previous graduate students at the Gas Turbine Laboratory. While I have never actually met most of them, I am indebted to countless former GTL graduate students, particularly Dr. Charlie Haldeman, James Murphy, Brian Cohen, Dr. Randy Mathison, Dr. Brian Green, and Dr. Matt Smith for performing previous work that helped lay the groundwork for this experiment, and for learning a number of lessons the hard way so I wouldn’t have to. Despite the overall good experience that working in the GTL has been, I would have gone crazy long before reaching this point had it not been for the many friends that I met along the way. Thanks go to Sanjay Ramdon, Shauna Adams, Imani Adams, Steven vii Ramirez, Arvind Mohan, Bingya Li, Jiazheng Hong, Venkata Subramanian, Yibo Shao, Xiao Wu, Emily Dreyer, Ben Grier, Anna Wu, and Soohyun Im for helping me to escape work when I needed to. Further thanks go to the friends that surrounded me at work every day. Through academic and intellectual discussions, tea breaks, Friday lunches, debugging expeditions, mutual complaining sessions, football arguments, lab cricket, and after-work drinks, I owe my sanity and perseverance to having you guys around me every day. Thanks to Alex Habib, Jonny Lutz, Anshuman Pandey, Chris Cosher, Hannah Pier, Tim Lawler, Matt Tomko, Kiran D’Souza, Miles Reagans, Richard Celestina, Eric Kurstak, and Meng- Hsuan Tien for the countless distractions, conversations, lessons, and for being awesome friends and colleagues. viii VITA January 3, 1990 ..............................................Born—Mayfield Heights, Ohio May 2011 .......................................................B.S.

  • Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
    Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Motivation. In this chapter we discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data. We shall try to convince you that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even mul- tiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably nondimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Chapter 3 presented gross control-volume balances of mass, momentum, and en- ergy which led to estimates of global parameters: mass flow, force, torque, total heat transfer. Chapter 4 presented infinitesimal balances which led to the basic partial dif- ferential equations of fluid flow and some particular solutions. These two chapters cov- ered analytical techniques, which are limited to fairly simple geometries and well- defined boundary conditions. Probably one-third of fluid-flow problems can be attacked in this analytical or theoretical manner. The other two-thirds of all fluid problems are too complex, both geometrically and physically, to be solved analytically. They must be tested by experiment. Their behav- ior is reported as experimental data. Such data are much more useful if they are ex- pressed in compact, economic form. Graphs are especially useful, since tabulated data cannot be absorbed, nor can the trends and rates of change be observed, by most en- gineering eyes. These are the motivations for dimensional analysis. The technique is traditional in fluid mechanics and is useful in all engineering and physical sciences, with notable uses also seen in the biological and social sciences.

  • Summary of Dimensionless Numbers of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer 1. Nusselt Number Average Nusselt Number: Nul = Convective
    Jingwei Zhu http://jingweizhu.weebly.com/course-note.html Summary of Dimensionless Numbers of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer 1. Nusselt number Average Nusselt number: convective heat transfer ℎ퐿 Nu = = L conductive heat transfer 푘 where L is the characteristic length, k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid, h is the convective heat transfer coefficient of the fluid. Selection of the characteristic length should be in the direction of growth (or thickness) of the boundary layer; some examples of characteristic length are: the outer diameter of a cylinder in (external) cross flow (perpendicular to the cylinder axis), the length of a vertical plate undergoing natural convection, or the diameter of a sphere. For complex shapes, the length may be defined as the volume of the fluid body divided by the surface area. The thermal conductivity of the fluid is typically (but not always) evaluated at the film temperature, which for engineering purposes may be calculated as the mean-average of the bulk fluid temperature T∞ and wall surface temperature Tw. Local Nusselt number: hxx Nu = x k The length x is defined to be the distance from the surface boundary to the local point of interest. 2. Prandtl number The Prandtl number Pr is a dimensionless number, named after the German physicist Ludwig Prandtl, defined as the ratio of momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) to thermal diffusivity. That is, the Prandtl number is given as: viscous diffusion rate ν Cpμ Pr = = = thermal diffusion rate α k where: ν: kinematic viscosity, ν = μ/ρ, (SI units : m²/s) k α: thermal diffusivity, α = , (SI units : m²/s) ρCp μ: dynamic viscosity, (SI units : Pa ∗ s = N ∗ s/m²) W k: thermal conductivity, (SI units : ) m∗K J C : specific heat, (SI units : ) p kg∗K ρ: density, (SI units : kg/m³).

    A Similarity Analysis for Heat Transfer in Newtonian and Power Law Fluids Using the Instantaneous Wall Shear Stress Trinh, Khanh Tuoc [email protected] B.H.P. Wilkinson [email protected] Institute of Food Nutrition and Human Health Massey University, New Zealand N.K.Kiaka [email protected] Department of Applied sciences The Papua New Guinea University of technology Abstract This paper presents a technique that collapses existing experimental data of heat transfer in pipe flow of Newtonian and power law fluids into a single master curve. It also discusses the theoretical basis of heat, mass and momentum analogies and the implications of the present analysis to visualisations of turbulence. Key words: Heat transfer, transition, turbulence, Newtonian, power law, instantaneous wall shear stress, similarity plot 1 Introduction The study of heat and mass transfer has been dominated from an early stage by the similar form of the equations of heat, mass and momentum. Following Boussinesq (1877), the transport flux (e.g. of heat) can be defined in terms of an eddy viscosity d q k E (1) h dy where is the temperature y the normal distance from the wall k the thermal conductivity Eh the eddy thermal diffusivity q the rate of heat transfer flux the fluid density Equation (1) may be rearranged as y q q w dy (2) E 0 1 h k which is very similar to the equation for momentum transport y U w dy (3) E 0 1 Where U U u* , y yu* yu* and Cp w u* q w have been normalised with the friction velocity u* w and the fluid apparent viscosity .

The governing equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and then solved numerically using bvp4c solver with MATLAB Package. The effects of governing parameters on dimensionless quantities like velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, wall heat flux and wall deposition flux are discussed for both suction and injection cases. Results are presented graphically and through tables. Keywords: Magnetohydrodynamics, Thermophresis, Radiation, Dissipation, Heat source. 1. Introduction Thermophoresis has potential applications like air cleaning, aerosol particles sampling, nuclear reactor safety, micro electronics manufacturing etc. Thermophoresis describes the migration of suspended small micron sized particles in a non isothermal gas to the direction with decreasing thermal gradient and the velocity acquired by the particle is known as thermophoretic velocity. The detailed discussion about this study was given by (Derjaguin and Yalamov, 1965). Thermophoresis of aerosol particles in laminar boundary layer on flat plate was analyzed by (Goren, 1977). Thermophoretic hydromagnetic flow over radiate isothermal inclined plate by considering heat source was discussed by (Noor et.al, 2013).

Initial ef- forts were made to implement a turbulent kinetic energy diffusion model in FLUENT but due to unavailability of the source code the focus was shifted to OpenFOAM, an open-source CFD software. Effect of initial values of free-stream parameters is studied on a flat plate. Launder- Sharma model is modified to account for the effect of free-stream turbulence and length scale by incorporating variable cµ and an additional diffusion term in turbulent kinetic energy trans- port equation. Comprehensive study is carried for better predictions of skin friction coefficient, Stanton number and turbulent kinetic energy profile on a flat plate for different initial turbulent intensities of 1%, 6.53% and 25.7%. The new model is validated for its better performance on a flat plate to predict Stanton number, skin friction coefficient and turbulent kinetic energy profile with close match to the data points.

Separated regions were forced by forward- and rearward-facing steps, and by loo, 20°, 30°, and 40° wedges located in several longitudinal positions on the plate. It has been shown that upon proper classification of the several types of separated flow, the trends of the heating rates within the regions of separa- tion may be characterized by typical distributions which are essentially inde- pendent of the model geometry (except to the extent that the model-geometry variations affect the location of transition).

  • Fluid Numbers
    Fluid Numbers Dimensieloze Navier-Stokes “ ” Froude “ ” “For a ship, the Froude number is defined as: where v is the velocity of the ship, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the ship at the water line level, or Lwl in some notations. It is an important parameter with respect to the ship's drag, or resistance, including the wave making resistance. Note that the Froude number used for ships, by convention, is the square root of the Froude number as defined above.” pag 1 Euler “ ” Reynolds “Reynolds number can be defined for a number of different situations where a fluid is in relative motion to a surface. These definitions generally include the fluid properties of density and viscosity, plus a velocity and a characteristic length or characteristic dimension. This dimension is a matter of convention – for example a radius or diameter are equally valid for spheres or circles, but one is chosen by convention. For aircraft or ships, the length or width can be used. For flow in a pipe or a sphere moving in a fluid the internal diameter is generally used today. Other shapes such as rectangular pipes or non-spherical objects have an equivalent diameter defined. For fluids of variable density such as compressible gases or fluids of variable viscosity such as non-Newtonian fluids, special rules apply. The velocity may also be a matter of convention in some circumstances, notably stirred vessels. The inertial forces, which characterize how much a particular fluid resists any change in motion are not to be confused with inertial forces defined in the classical way.” Invloed van de stromingstoestand: Stroming in leiding onder druk Stroming met vrij oppervlak Stroming rond een lichaam pag 2 Weber “ ” “The Weber number is a dimensionless number in fluid mechanics that is often useful in analysing fluid flows where there is an interface between two different fluids, especially for multiphase flows with strongly curved surfaces.
