A Gas Turbine Cooled-Stage Expansion Model for the Simulation of Blade Cooling Effects on Cycle Performance
Modern gas turbine firing temperatures (1500−2000 K) are well beyond the maximum allowable blade material temperatures. Continuous safe operation is made possible by cooling the HP turbine first stages, nozzle vanes and rotor blades, with a portion of the compressor discharge air, a practi...
