Abstract:

The Thermal Response Turbine Shroud program studied and evaluated overall engine active clearance control designs and payoffs for a broad range of engineaircraft combinations. Both turbine and compressor active clearance control systems were considered for gas turbine engines that encompassed high and low fan bypass ratios, single and two stage turbines, and commercial and military missions. The study of active clearance control included detailed material, heat transfer and thermal and mechanical growth analyses. The study effort looked at the active control of clearance at transient as well as steady state engine operation. The evaluation included an overall assessment of active clearance control benefits and penalties in both performance and cost for the particular aircraftengine system studied. Author
