2. 1. Aerothermal Study of Intermediate Turbine Ducts

   Author : Martin Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerodynamics; Intermediate Turbine Duct; Gas Turbine; Heat Transfer; Experimental;

   Abstract : An intermediate turbine duct guides the flow from the smaller diameter high pressure turbine to the downstream larger diameter intermediate or low pressure turbine. It is typically equipped with a structural vane transferring loads for the core to the external parts, and supplies the core with necessary services such as oil and air. READ MORE

4. 2. Flow Control and Shape Optimization of Intermediate Turbine Ducts for Turbofan Engines

   Author : Fredrik Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; response surface methodology; intermediate turbine duct; vortex generators; turbine intermediate case; endwall contouring; turbine center frame; body-force model; shape optimization; mid-turbine frame; flow control;

   Abstract : Demands on improved efficiency, reduced emissions and lowered noise levels cause a strive towards high by-pass ratios of commercial turbofan engines. This results in an increased radial offset between the high- and low-pressure turbines. Thus the design of the intermediate turbine duct connecting the two turbines becomes more challenging.

5. 3. Aerothermal Investigation of an Intermediate Turbine Duct

   Author : Carlos Arroyo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flowfield measurements; heat transfer measurements.; Intermediate turbine duct;

   Abstract : Intermediate turbine ducts are used to guide the flow in turbofan engines from the short-radius high-pressure turbine to the large-radius low-pressure turbine. The demand for more efficient and silent jet engines and with a reduced environmental impact requires turbofans with increasingly higher by-pass ratios. READ MORE

6. 4. A Large-Scale Facility for Investigation of Intermediate Turbine Ducts: Design, Implementation and Initial Tests

   Author : Lars-Uno Axelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; diffuser; S-shaped duct; wind-tunnel design; gas turbine; turbofan; annular duct; Intermediate turbine duct;

   Abstract : Intermediate turbine ducts are used in modern multi-spool jet engines for guiding the flow from the high-pressure turbine to the low-pressure turbine. The demand for lighter, more efficient and more environmentally friendly aircraft engines requires the new jet engines to have higher by-pass ratios. READ MORE

7. 5. Experimental investigation of the flow field in an aggressive intermediate turbine duct

   Author : Lars-Uno Axelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-resolved measurements; Intermediate turbine duct; flow visualization; vorticity dynamics; turbulence.; inter-turbine duct; hot-wire anemometry; experiment; 5-hole pressure probe;

   Abstract : Intermediate turbine ducts are used for connecting thehigh-pressure turbine to the low-pressure turbine in turbofan engines. In order to meet the demands for more efficient and environmentally friendly jet engines, future intermediate turbine ducts need to have larger radial off-sets without increasing their length.
