High temperature turbine technology program. Phase II. Technology test and support studies. Technical progress report, April 1, 1981-June 30, 1981
This report presents the status of work performed on the High Temperature Turbine Technology Program, Phase II Technology Test and Support Studies during the second quarter of 1981, April 1 through June 30, 1981. All components of the Turbine Spool Technology Rig (TSTR) have been fabricated or reworked as necessary for assembly and test at 2600/sup 0/F turbine inlet temperature to evaluate the effect of hot gas stream particulates on the transpiration air-cooled turbine. Testing of the 60/sup 0/ sector combustor rig was completed in preparation for the TSTR test program. This preparatory testing included development of the particulate injection system and evaluation of other combustor modifications prior to incorporation of these changes into the TSTR combustor. The development status of both the low Btu gas fuel cooled combustor and high temperature, low emissions coal-derived liquid-fueled combustor are reviewed. Both of these programs are in the design and component fabrication phase leading to test evaluation during the fourth quarter. Control systems status and descriptions for the above items are given. The analytical studies to support the TSTR and combustor programs are described. Extended time oxidation testing of Nichrome V-Cb material porous mesh for transpiration air cooled turbine airfoils is continuing; test results to date confirm predictions that the effect of oxidation on cooling air flow capacity diminishes exponentially as exposure time increases.
