Aerodynamic Performance of High Turning Airfoils and the Effect of Endwall Contouring on Turbine Performance
Gas turbine companies are always focused on reducing capital costs and increasing overall efficiency. There are numerous advantages in reducing the number of airfoils per stage in the turbine section. While increased airfoil loading offers great advantages like low cost and weight, they also result...
