This paper describes a methodology and results for the analysis of a small steam injected gas turbine cogeneration system. A performance analysis program for the gas turbine engine is utilized with modifications required for the model of steam injection and the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The object of simulation is a simple cycle gas turbine engine under development which adopts a centrifugal compressor. The analysis is based on the off-design operation of the gas turbine and the compressor performance map is utilized. Analyses are carried out with the injection ratio as the main parameter. The effect of steam injection on the power and efficiency of gas turbine and cogeneration capacity is investigated. Also presented is the variation in the main operating parameters inside the HRSG. Remarkable reduction in NOx generation by steam injection is confirmed. In addition, it is observed that for the 100% power operation the temperature of the cooled first nozzle blade decreases by 100.deg. C at full steam injection, which seems to have a favorable effect on the engine life time.

In order to cool the turbine blade under high temperature operating conditions, the film-cooling method is generally applied. In this study, $CO_2$ was used as working fluid and it helped the operating system to prevent the loss of compressed air. The trapezoidal diffuser shape was adopted at the cross section of hole and the characteristics of heat flow with various working fluids were numerically studied. In particular, the different mixture ratios of $CO_2$, such as various density ratios of 0.2, 0.8, and 1.0, respectively, were considered. Numerical results are graphically depicted with various conditions.

We have investigated the feasibility of using differential pressure(pressure drop) of gas turbine meter to diagnose turbine performance degradation caused by mechanical wearing damage and/or dirt buildup or erosion. If the differential pressure between the upstream piping and the throat of a turine meter can be correlated to meter flow rate over the operating range of the meter, then a relatively simple differential pressure measurement in the filed might be used to detect meter performance changes. To test this method, we have conducted two experimental simulation on Straightener Integrated Type(SIT) turbine meter. One is fur dirt buildup on turbine blade, the other is for eccentricity of the blade. Results show that this method provide a reliable measure of performance degradation and is useful maintenance indicator.

가스터빈 블레이드는 증기터빈 블레이드와 달리 냉각홀 및 냉각유로를 포함한 복잡한 형상으로 되어 있으며 복합화력의 운전특성에 따라 반복적이거나 지속적인 열-기계 하중 조건 하에서 운전된다. 따라서 블레이드는 운전시간에 따라 균일하지 못한 온도 분포나 응력 분포를 보이며, 이는 크리프나 열-기계피로 손상을 유발하며, 결국 가스터빈 블레이드의 수명을 단축시킨다. 결국 다양한 운전 조건에 따라 발생하는 응력을 정확하게 계산하는 것은 설비의 신뢰성을 보장하고 나아가 블레이드와 같은 고온 부품의 정확한 수명을 평가하는데 무엇보다 중요하다. 최근 들어 컴퓨터 기능이 좋아지고 상용 소프트웨어의 성능이 향상되어 실증 시험에 대한 대안으로 유동, 열 및 구조해석을 연결하는 전산해석이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가스터빈 실 운전조건을 고려하여 유동-열-구조 해석 기법을 연계하는 유체-구조 연성해석을 통해 블레이드 온도 및 응력분포를 계산하였다. 또한 해석 결과를 토대로 대표적인 손상기구인 크리프 및 열-기계 피로 손상 모델을 이용하여 블레이드의 수명을 평가하였다.

The present study investigates the convective heat/mass transfer inside a cooling passage of rotating gas-turbine blades. The rotating duct has various configurations made of ribs with 70。 attack angle, which are attached on leading and trailing surfaces. A naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to determine detailed local heat transfer coefficients using the heat and mass transfer analogy. The present experiments employ two-surface heating conditions in the rotating duct because the surfaces, exposed to hot gas stream, are pressure and suction side surfaces in the middle passages of an actual gas-turbine blade. In the stationary conditions, the parallel rib arrangement presents higher heat/mass transfer characteristics in the first pass, however, these characteristics disappear in the second pass due to the turning effects. In the rotating conditions, the cross rib present less heat/mass transfer discrepancy between the leading and the trailing surfaces in the first pass. In the second pass, the heat/mass transfer characteristics are much more complex due to the combined effects of the angled ribs, the sharp fuming and the rotation.

최근 고온부품의 기술발전으로 고효율 가스터빈 발전설비들이 운전되고 있으나 국내의 가스터빈설비는 일일 기동정지를 반복 운전하므로써 열싸이클에 의한 블레이드와 베인의 재료물성은 급격히 나빠지고 있다. 현재 가스터빈 부품 교체와 정비는 제작사에 의존하고 있는 실정으로 이에 본 연구에서 독자적인 교체 및 정비 관리 기준을 위해 수명평가와 손상분석의 기초자료로 활용하고자 실제 운전된 가스터빈 고압 1단 블레이드와 베인의 사용시간별 손상거동을 분석하였다. 사용재의 블레이드는 등가운전시간(EOH)이 23,686, 27,909 및 52,859 이고 베인은 28,714 및 52,859 으로 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 ${\gamma}$'의 크기는 증가하고 형상은 구형 또는 판상으로 변형되었다. 블레이드는 leading edge영역, 베인은 center영역에서 가장 큰 미세조직의 열화가 관찰되었으며 이는 경도의 감소경향과 일치하였다. 열차폐 코팅층내 bond코팅층에서는 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 표면산화층의 두께가 증가하였다.

In order to evaluate the lifespan of high-temperature parts with thermal barrier coating in gas turbines used for power generation, this study was performed on an 80 MW-class gas turbine exceeding 24 k equivalent operating hours. Degradation characteristics were evaluated by analyzing the YSZ (Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) top coat, which serves as the thermal barrier coating layer, the NiCrAlY bond coat, and interface layers. Microstructural analysis of the top, middle, and bottom sections showed that Thermal Growth Oxide (TGO) growth, Cr precipitate growth within the bond coat layer, and formation of diffusion layer occur actively in high-temperature sections. These microstructural changes were consistent with damaged areas of the thermal barrier coating layer observed at the surface of the used blade. The distribution of Cr precipitates within the bond coat layer, in addition to the thickness of TGO, is regarded as a key indicator in the evaluation of degradation characteristics.

The operating temperature has been increased to improve the efficiency of gas turbine. The most advanced Gas turbine is operated at above $1,500^{\circ}C$. Improvement in material and cooling method permit hot gas path component to run at increased temperature. But, the repair of blades which are developed with advanced manufacture technique is difficult to use normal welding. Most of gas turbine blades are made of precipitation harden nickel base superalloy, which is very hard to weld. Therefore, the employment of welding filler on blade is solid solution nickel base superalloy(Hastelloy X, Inconel 617). In this study, Tensile test in high temperature was conducted on welded GTD111DS with GTD111 to evaluate effect of variation of pre, post treatment. The result of this study showed that the specimen was treated with optimum pre and post treatment(preweld HT($1200^{\circ}C$), Post treatment($1100^{\circ}C$ HIP, $1200^{\circ}C$ + $1100^{\circ}C$ + $800^{\circ}C$ HT) is mush superior.

In order to simulate wake of stator and a gas turbine engine's balde row, acryl cylinder and a linear turbine cascade were used respectively in this study. Experimental of heat transfer distributions was done on the passage endwall and blade suction surface. Temperature distributions on the experimental regions were obtained through image processing system by using the cholesteric type liquid crystal which has chain structure of metyl$(CH_3)$. To represent the degree of heat transfer, dimensionless St number was used. The results show that heat transfer on the blade suction surface was increased due to the wake from the cylinder and was decreased as the distance between cylinder row and blade row increases. Because of groth of passage vortex, heat transfer distributions on the trailing edge area showed triangular shape which was little changed with wake. On the other hand, heat transfer on the passage endwall was decreased due to the wake from cylinder. As the distance between cylinder row and blade row increases, heat transfer was more decreased.

In this study, defects generated in the YSZ coating layer of the IN738LC turbine blade are investigated using an optical microscope and SEM/EDS. The blade YSZ coating layer is composed of a Y-Zr component top coat layer and a Co component bond coat layer. A large amount of Cr/Ni component that diffused from the base is also measured in the bond coat. The blade hot corrosion is concentrated on the surface of the concave part, accompanied by separation of the coating layer due to the concentration of combustion gas collisions here. In the top coating layer of the blade, cracks occur in the vertical and horizontal directions, along with pits in the top coating layer. Combustion gas components such as Na and S are contained inside the pits and cracks, so it is considered that the pits/cracks are caused by the corrosion of the combustion gases. Also, a thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer of several ㎛ thick composed of Al oxide is observed between the top coat and the bond coat, and a similar inner TGO with a thickness of several ㎛ is also observed between the bond coat and the matrix. A PFZ (precipitate free zone) deficient in γ' (Ni₃Al) forms as a band around the TGO, in which the Al component is integrated. Although TGO can resist high temperature corrosion of the top coat, it should also be considered that if its shape is irregular and contains pore defects, it may degrade the blade high temperature creep properties. Compositional and microstructural analysis results for high-temperature corrosion and TGO defects in the blade coating layer used at high temperatures are expected to be applied to sound YSZ coating and blade design technology.
