Abradable stator gas turbine labyrinth seals

Allcock, D. C. J. (Cranfield University, 1999-03)

This is a detailed study into the internal aerodynamics of labyrinth seals, with pmic| reference to the effects of abradable honeycomb stators on labyrinth seal leakage.- A extensive experimental programme established ...
The aquisition of three dimensional flow measurements through a muli stage high speed axial flow compressor

Lippett, D. A. (Cranfield University, 2003-02)

The focus of the thesis is research based around Cranfield University's 3-stage high speed axial compressor test rig. This newly built rig supported by European Commission funding has tested a set of conventionally stacked ...
Capacitance Tip Timing Techniques in Gas Turbines

Lawson, Craig P. (Cranfield University, 2003-11)

The vibration of turbomachinery blades is an important phenomenon to understand, observe and predict and is the reason for developing a tip timing measurement system. Vibration leads to High Cycle Fatigue (HCF), which ...
Experimental studies on volute-impeller interactions pf centrifugal compressors having vaned diffusers

Georgakis, C. (Cranfield University, 2003)

It is well recognised that the volute plays a important role on the stage performance of a turbo machine in terms of pressure recovery, losses, efficiency and flow range, in addition to influencing stability and radial ...
Experimental Testing of Tip-Timing Methods used for Blade Vibration Measurement in the Aero-Engine

Grant, Kelly (Cranfield University, 2004-10)

An important component within the jet engine in terms of vibration and high cycle fatigue (HCF) is the blade. This is the component where continuously higher demands on weight and loading are being made. As a consequence ...
Influence of blade row aerodynamics on pneumatic gas turbine instrumentation

Coldrick , S. (Cranfield University, 2003-04)

Steady state, inter row measurements in multistage axial compressors are relevant to the current design process. The objective in obtaining such data is for evaluation of compressor blading as well as validation for the ...
Low speed axial compressor design and evaluation : High speed representation and endwall flow control studies

Lyes, Peter A. (Cranfield University, 1999-01-28)

This Thesis reports the design, build and test of two sets of blading for the Cranfield University low speed research compressor. The first of these was a datum low speed design based on the fourth stage of the DERA high ...
The measurement of near wall flows using pneumatic wedge probes.

Smout, Peter David (Cranfield University, 1995-01)

The three hole, wedge-type pneumatic pressure probe represents a robust traverse probe design which is widely used for total and static pressure and yaw angle measurements in turbomachinery. However, unsteady flows are ...
Unsteadiness In An Embedded Axial Compressor Stage

Naylor, Edward (Cranfield University, 2008-02)

Previous research on blade boundary layers in turbomachinery have been recognised to crucially influence the stability and performance of the gas turbine components. The interactions between rotating and stationary blade ...
