TURBINE THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS


To achieve the results such as number of turbine stages,
number of blades in a stage, entry and exit velocity of the fluid,
the ratio of the entry and exit angles of the fluid to the blades,
profiles of temperature and pressure in the entry and exit of the
blades, thermodynamic analysis is required to be performed at
first. The basis is to get energy from the gas based on
decreasing the high pressure energy gradually through
converting it into kinetic energy, this task is performed by
alternative passing of the gas on the moving and fixed blades.
The kinetic energy of the gas decreases on the moving blades
and recovers on the fixed blades. It is necessary to decrease the
gas density while passing through the turbine gradually and
thus, if axial velocity along the turbine is kept constant the
blades height will increase toward the low pressure losses of

for momentum and about 0.7 for turbulence viscosity. gas relative velocity be less and consequently in comparison
with the root less force reaches to the blade tip. The modern gas
turbines use the blades which have impulse state in root and in
the tip they have reaction state. In this type of the blades, the
blade exit pressure remains relatively constant. The pressure
loss required for the blade reaction appears in the blade tip and
gradually changes to the conditions without loss for the impulse
in the blade root. More pressure in the tip makes the gases
move toward the blade root which acts unlike the centrifugal
forces which flow the gases toward the blade tip. Consequently
the equal force distribution is created.
The gas turbine rotor blade function conditions are
according to the Tab. 10.

DISCUSSION AND COLCLUSION
The performed analysis shows that, the pressure on the blade
tip is more than on its root which causes the uniform force
distribution along the blade. The obtained pressure and velocity
distribution in the optimized blade shows that, the height
decrease makes the loss of the maximum pressure and velocity.
These values have been brought in Tab. 14.

Thus the blade height decrease makes the pressure and the
blade maximum velocity to be decreased and causes its life to
