Due to the widespread deployment of non-flexible renewable energy sources, an increasing trend is to use coal-fired boilers as support to the base energy production. High flexibility is usually required, and consequently, it is fundamental to be able to accurately predict and study dynamic behavior of the boilers. This point is particularly crucial...
In axial gas turbines, hot air from the main annulus path tends to be ingested into the turbine disc cavities. This leads to overheating which will reduce the disc's life time or lead to serious damage. Often, to overcome this problem, some air is extracted from the compressor to cool the rotor discs. This also helps seal the rim seals and to prote...
In a gas turbine, ingestion of hot gas into the high-pressure turbine disc cavities could cause metal overheat. To prevent this, cool air is taken from the compressor and ejected through the cavities. However, this sealing flow also reduces the overall efficiency, and a compromise has to be found between the level of ingestion tolerated and the los...
