| Abstract | One of the common issues within the industrial gas turbine fleet is the susceptibility of a can-annular combustors’ fuel manifold cover (support housings) to develop embedded cracks. These cracks, located in the assembly joint of cover plates that create internal passages for fuel delivery to the combustion system, have enough of a driving force to propagate to the surface of the component. Once a crack propagates to the surface, gas has the potential to leak into the enclosure, posing a potential fire and safety risk. Furthermore, cracked fuel manifold covers are prone to increased NOx levels and excessive dynamics. Consequently, operators have the potential for a forced outage due to the failure of the fuel manifold. Currently, the existing solution is to replace the support housings with new or refurbished housings, with prior analyses requiring near perfect fusion. An ultrasonic inspection procedure has been developed to inspect a combustor’s fuel manifold cover for embedded cracks, which are not currently detectable with FPI or X-ray methods. Through this method, the amount of fusion in the assembly joint is readily obtained, including the ability to understand if the crack is partial-thickness or through-thickness. Parametric fracture analyses, utilizing experimental material test data calibrated to service-exposed components, are conducted to predict the residual life. Coupled with the engine operating data, including the use of cold- or heated-fuels, a recommendation for the remaining useful operation of the support housings can be provided. Ultimately, by completing the ultrasonic inspection and analysis on the support housing/fuel manifold, both the risk of an unplanned outage in the future and the lifecycle management cost to the operator is reduced. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
