OSTI ID:5563561

Work performed on the High Temperature Turbine Technology Program, Phase II-Technology Test and Support Studies during the period from 1 July 1980 through 30 September 1980 is summarized. Objectives of the program elements as well as technical progress and problems during this Phase II quarterly reporting period are presented. Planned progress during the next quarterly reporting period is also defined. Inspection results including static flow bench testing of blades and vanes following the final 300 h of teest of the LP Rig Engine with hot gas stream particulates are described. Modifications to the distillate fueled 60/sup 0/ combustor sector rig to improve the exit radial profile in the outer portion are described along with subsequent tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the modifications. Testing of the synthesized LBG-fueled 60/sup 0/ combustor sector rig was continued to evaluate the effect of burner inlet conditions and fuel loading variation on combustion performance. Modifications for redistribution of primary zone air flow are defined. Initial testing of the TSTR stator vane cascade using distillate fuel is described and modifications defined to improve stator vane cooling are presented. Initial motoring of the Turbine Spool Technology Rig and partial disassembly of the rig for anticipated combustor and blading modifications to improve vane and blade cooling are discussed. Supporting Material and Process investigations are described. The single spool reference turbine subsystem aerodynamic/thermodynamic evaluations of the turbine and combustor sections and design of these sections are presented and discussed.
