Turbine blade

OverviewIntroductionEnvironment and failure modesMaterialsCoolingSee alsoNotes

A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor. Each turbine disc has many blades. As such they are used in gas turbine engines and steam turbines. The blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature, high pressure gas produced by the combustor. The turbine blades are often th

ant to the environment. Fewer blades with longer chords are one answer. An­ other is selecting blade materials that are ct & enough to with stand vibratory excitations, yet hard enough to

Jet Engine Design: The Turbine

Of course the TET is bounded by the metallurgy of the turbine blade materials. The TET has increased from around 800°C in 1940 to 1500°C in the 1994 Rolls-Royce Trent engine. This development has in part been due to

Aircraft Propeller Theory

This should come as no surprise as a propeller blade is essentially a twisted, rotating wing. A blade has a root and a tip, where the tip is located the outer-most region of the blade. The root sections of each propeller

Carbon/Carbon (C/C) composite materials, emerging as the most noteworthy high-temperature resistant materials in recent years, are currently the only materials considered suitable for use in turbine rotor blades,
