Numerical Investigation for Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Air and Air/Mist Cooling in Gas Turbine Stator Trail Edge Path
Increasing the turbine inlet temperature is a feasible method to improve the cycle thermal efficiency and power output of a gas turbine. The heat transfer and flow characteristics of air and air/mist cooling in the trail edge path of a gas turbine stator are numerically investigated with ANSYS-CFX. The simulations for different working fluids(air and air/mist)are carried out to find their cooling performance difference. The changes of mist distribution
Nusselt number
flow friction factor and thermodynamic efficiency are analyzed in the cases of different Reynolds number and different initial diameter of mist. The results show that the mist flow distance goes up when Reynolds number and mist initial diameter increase. At the same Reynolds number
the bottom averaged Nusselt number increases when spraying mist with different initial diameter into cooling air. The enhancement of the bottom averaged Nusselt number is related to Reynolds number and the initial mist diameter. To reach the highest cooling performance
the evaporating and disturbance effects of mist ought to be taken into consideration. Spraying mist into cooling air slightly affects the friction factor
but the increase of thermodynamic efficiency can reach up to 26% considering both heat transfer and flow friction.
