PRELIMINARY RESUME OF ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS AT THE PETROCHINA HITACHI H-25 GAS TURBINE BLADE

A. COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC ANALYSIS 1. Blade and Nozzle Modeling and Meshing The modeling of the blade and the nozzle is create with data from technical drawing of the turbine, and then using a blade generator feature in Ansys workbench.

Blade Geometry and Dimension

Modeling in Blade Generator

The parameter which inputted to the blade generator are: Blade and Nozzle Geometry

Blade and Nozzle dimension Type of the machine The cavity space of the fluid Type of rotation Number blade sets in the machine

The next step of the modeling is defining the fluid zone in the blade and the nozzle: using the blade generator feature and then define the mesh in turbogrid feature to adapt the fluid boundary for the analysis step.

The Blade meshing of the turbogrid result

The Nozzle meshing of the turbogrid result

2. Boundary condition and the setting up the parameter of the analysis 2.1.Scenario There are four case to modeling the condition at the blade, first is too made and assumption that connection between fluid zone of the blade and the nozzle, the connection assume as stage and a frozen rotor. Then we model it with two different configuration one blade with two nozzles and one blade with one nozzle.

Two nozzle scenario

One nozzle scenario

Scenario 1
In this scenario the blade and a nozzle is paired modeled with one blade and one Nozzle, the stage connection is use for boundary that connect the blade and the nozzle

Scenario 2
In this scenario the blade and a nozzle is paired modeled with one blade and two Nozzle, the stage connection is use for boundary that connect the blade and the nozzle

Scenario 3
In this scenario the blade and a nozzle is paired modeled with one blade and one Nozzle, the frozen rotor connection is use for boundary that connect the blade and the nozzle

Scenario 4
In this scenario the blade and a nozzle is paired modeled with one blade and two Nozzle, the frozen rotor connection is use for boundary that connect the blade and the nozzle
