AERODYNAMIC TRAJECTORY IMPACT: Reliability of Blade Geometry In Compressor and Turbine Application for Power Generation

The power station plays critical role in supporting Nation’s economic development for improving standard of living; it is becoming evident that many generating companies’ open cycle gas turbine power plant components are facing uncontrollable thermal loading (stress/strain) challenges particularly on compressor and turbine blades application thereby making the performances, efficiency and reliability of these blades to experienced poor power generation. Ideally, blades are essential components that play crucial role for compressing atmospheric air (for increased temperature and pressure) in order to provide inlet conditions of temperature (400 - 600℃) and pressure (10 – 30 bar).
