Impact of Cooling with Thermal Barrier Coatings on Flow Passage in a Gas Turbine

Yuanzhe Zhang et al.

Summary: Inlet temperature is crucial for the thermal efficiency of gas turbines, and blade cooling is a key method to maintain high inlet temperatures. However, the use of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for cooling may change the heat transfer characteristics and pose challenges in calculating internal temperature and thermal efficiency. This study analyzes the impact of TBC thickness on the performance of gas turbines and proposes an improved mathematical model to consider the cooling effect of TBCs.
