Graphene in turbine blades

Modern Physics Letters B, 2016
Graphene, the two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, draws interest of several researchers due to its many superior properties. It has extensive applications in numerous fields. A turbine is a hydraulic machine which extracts energy from a fluid and converts it into useful work.

Measurements of turbine blade temperature in an operating aero engine using thermographic phosphors

Measurement science and technology, 2020
A diagnostic method is introduced for non-contact temperature measurements on the surface of a rotating turbine blade in an operating engine using laser-induced excitation of thermographic phosphor coatings on the blades.

A flexible turbine blade for passive blade pitch control in wind turbines

2011 IEEE Power Engineering and Automation Conference, 2011
We present a flexible wind turbine blade that effectively pitches itself according to variable wind loading. In contrast to rigid turbine blades, where active controls are often required to pitch blades, the flexible or morphing blade adjusts its geometry passively, eliminating the need for costly electromechanical systems. We analyze the airfoil using

Wind Turbine Blade Breakage Monitoring With Deep Autoencoders

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2018
Monitoring wind turbine blade breakages based on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data is investigated in this research. A preliminary data analysis is performed to demonstrate that existing SCADA features are unable to present irregular ...

Borax Crystallization Kinetics in a Pitched‐Blade Turbine/Straight‐Blade Turbine Dual‐Impeller Crystallizer [PDF]

open access: possibleChemical Engineering & Technology, 2018
AbstractThe influence of hydrodynamic conditions on crystallization kinetics and properties of borax crystals obtained in a dual‐impeller batch cooling crystallizer was investigated. The two impellers used, i.e., pitched‐ and straight‐blade turbines, were mounted on the same shaft.

Turbine Blade Cooling: The Blade Temperature Distribution

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2006
Air cooling of high-temperature gas turbines is a standard practice; the air first cools the blading by internal convection and then by external film cooling, after ejection through holes and slots in the blade surface. In some ‘conventional’ analyses of turbine blade cooling, a ‘standard blade’ is invoked, which has a uniform blade temperature equal ...

Fractured Turbine Blades

2019
Abstract In an electric power station, seven turbine blades out of 112 broke or cracked within 8 to 14 months after commencement of operation. The blades in question were all located on the last running wheel in the low pressure section of a 35,000 kW high pressure condensing turbine.

Concepts for adaptive wind turbine blades

2002 ASME Wind Energy Symposium, 2002
Bend-twist coupling in wind turbine blades has been shown to reduce both fatigue and extreme operating loads, especially when applied in conjunction with a pitch-controlled rotor. This type of coupling has been used in other industries, implemented either through biased lay-ups of fiber-reinforced materials, or with swept wings.

Non-linear dynamic analysis of a wind turbine blade

Zhongguó gongchéng xuékan, 2019
Wind turbine blades’ dynamic behavior must be well investigated during the design process in order to avoid resonance. Modal analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis of a rotating wind turbine blade are presented in this paper to study the effects of ...
