Abstract
AbstractThe part-load performance of gas turbine is of great importance due to the consideration of running time spent at part power, and Variable Geometry Turbine (VGT) is an important way to meet the requirements. Effect of variable geometry guide-vane with cylindrical endwalls on part-load turbine stage performance is quantified by detailed analysis of aerodynamic characteristics. The turbine stage characteristics of corrected mass flow, corrected output power and efficiency are presented to investigate the VGT performance under the condition of four off-design rotating angles. In addition, the flow field, the loss distribution and the leakage flow are analyzed for different rotating angles. Results show that both the corrected mass flow and the corrected output power increase as the vane throat area is increased, the total leakage area and the shroud area are increased with the increase of rotating angle, whereas the hub leakage area is decreased, and the total pressure loss and the entropy change of variable geometry vane are both increased with the decrease of vane throat area.
