An analytical investigation of the effect of blade profile variations on the erosion of coal-fired turbine blades

The effect of blade profile variations on the erosion of turbine blades subjected to flow containing particulates was analytically determined. To accomplish this end, the two-dimensional inviscid main flow field was determined for each blade passage. A semi-empirical model of erosion was combined wi...
