Abstract | An exhaust diffuser is a critical component of gas turbine applied to newlineboth the propulsion and power system applications. The exhaust diffuser of an newlineindustrial gas turbine recovers the static pressure by decelerating the turbine newlinedischarge flow. This allows the turbine to be operated at an exhaust pressure newlinelower than the atmospheric one, thus increasing the turbine work. This makes newlinethe diffuser a critical element in the turbomachine environment in terms of newlineefficiency and stability. newlineIn the present work, experimental and numerical investigations newlinehave been carried out to study the effect of the struts on the flow structure and newlinethe performance of the diffusers. The strut design that has the potential to newlinechange the diffuser dynamics was tested. Two types of struts were used newlinenamely baseline struts and tapered struts. newlineThe objective of the present work is to provide an improved newlineunderstanding of flow passing over struts in an annular diffuser. The flow newlinethrough the diffuser with and without struts was studied. Experiments were newlineconducted for three different types of configurations namely diffuser without newlinestruts, with baseline struts and with tapered struts. A low speed sub sonic newlinewind tunnel was used to conduct the experiments. A Five-hole pitot pressure newlineprobe with a digital manometer was used to measure pressure, and a newlineDANTEC Dynamics make constant temperature anemometer with X-probe was used to measure mean velocity, and turbulence level in axial and radial newlinedirections. Measurements were taken at a number of radial positions across newlinethe annulus, and at some circumferential positions at each axial location along newlinethe diffuser. The results suggest that tapered design perform better than the newlinebaseline design. |

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.
