Abstract:
The pressure distribution on the end plane of a cooled blade was studied in order to facilitate control of the cooling air flow rate. The test stand consisted of a centrifugal compressor, a combustion chamber, a mixing chamber, a honeycomb damper, the test section with the investigated cascade profiles, a fuel-feed system, a control panel, and monitoring instrumentation. The investigated cascade consisted of five cylindrical blades, only one of which was cooled. The blades had a chord of 121.7 mm, a height of 120 mm, and a pitch of 83.3 mm. The mounting of the blades provided a shock-free inlet flow. The cooling air was supplied from the main flow. The pressure distribution in the radial clearance was studied with respect to the following factors 1 air flow rate through the cascade 2 size of the radial clearance 3 cooling air flow rate through the blade channels and 4 the total effect of the three factors.
