Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas turbine testing technology, and in particular to a method for estimating the measurement error of gas turbine blade temperature. Background Technology
[0002] Turbine blades are one of the core components of gas turbines, and their cooling design is crucial to blade design. Tests on the external heat transfer coefficient of blades, blade cooling efficiency, turbine components, and the entire gas turbine all involve measuring the temperature of turbine blades. These measurements provide important information for blade cooling design and serve as crucial references for blade performance evaluation. Currently, micro thermocouples are widely used both domestically and internationally to measure blade temperature. Due to improvements in thermocouple manufacturing, calibration, and testing technologies, the measurement error of thermocouples themselves is very small, and the error range is well-defined, with abundant experimental data and literature available for reference. However, there are few reports on temperature measurement errors caused by thermocouple embedding errors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a method for predicting the error range of thermocouple temperature measurement for gas turbine blades to help blade designers conduct more accurate and precise experimental data analysis and improve blade cooling design capabilities.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN201510937374.0 discloses a turbine blade temperature measurement method based on air spraying. First, the turbine blade surface is pretreated to remove foreign matter. Second, a high-temperature insulating adhesive is sprayed using an air spraying process to prepare an insulating layer. Third, a thermocouple is fixed on the blade. Finally, a high-temperature insulating adhesive is sprayed again to prepare a protective layer. The turbine blade temperature measurement in this application does not consider the installation deviation of the thermocouple and the temperature measurement error caused by the installation deviation, resulting in a large error and low accuracy in the final turbine blade temperature measurement result. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention primarily addresses the problem that existing turbine blade temperature measurement tests cannot estimate measurement errors caused by thermocouple installation deviations. It provides a method for estimating the temperature measurement error of gas turbine blades, comprehensively considering thermocouple installation deviations to improve the accuracy of turbine blade temperature measurement in gas turbine tests.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical problem of the present invention is mainly solved by the following technical solution: a method for estimating the temperature measurement error of a gas turbine blade, comprising the following steps: calculating the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer temperature of the outer surface and the inner surface of the blade according to the geometric characteristics of the outer surface and the test conditions; importing the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer temperature of the outer surface and the inner surface of the blade into a thermocouple embedding model, performing heat conduction calculations to obtain a first temperature measurement result; determining the deviation range of the thermocouple installation in the depth direction, width direction, and blade height direction according to the thermocouple installation process, sampling the thermocouple installation deviations in the three directions respectively, and establishing three sets of thermocouple embedding models of the blade considering the installation deviations; performing heat conduction calculations on the thermocouple embedding models to obtain a second temperature measurement result considering the thermocouple embedding deviations; and obtaining the deviation of the metal temperature measurement result caused by the thermocouple installation deviations by comparing and calculating the first temperature measurement result and the second temperature measurement result.
[0006] As a preferred method, the calculation methods for the heat transfer coefficients of the outer and inner surfaces are as follows:
[0007]
[0008]
[0009] Among them, h g h represents the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface. c Re represents the internal surface heat transfer coefficient, where C0 and C1 are constants; Re g Pr g k g L g These represent the Reynolds number, Prandtl number, thermal conductivity, and characteristic length of the gas flow under the test conditions; Re c Pr c k c L c These are the Reynolds number, Prandtl number, thermal conductivity, and characteristic length of the cold air flow under the test conditions.
[0010] Preferably, the method for calculating the first temperature measurement result is as follows: Three mutually orthogonal directions are established on the blade: depth direction H, width direction L, and blade height direction R. The size of the thermocouple slot is set to H1 mm × L1 mm. Ideally, the thermocouple installation dimensions are: depth direction H0, width direction L0, and blade height direction R0, resulting in a thermocouple embedding model. The thermocouple embedding model is divided into three parts: the blade, the thermocouple, and the coating that fixes the thermocouple. The thermocouple embedding model is meshed. The thermophysical properties of the materials of the three components of the thermocouple embedding model are set. The heat transfer coefficient and temperature of the outer surface of the blade, and the heat transfer coefficient and temperature of the inner surface of the blade are used as heat transfer boundary conditions and imported into the thermocouple embedding model for heat conduction calculation to obtain the first temperature measurement result T0 of the embedding model.
[0011] Preferably, the method for establishing the thermocouple insertion model is as follows: based on the maximum deviation of the thermocouple installation, the following deviations are obtained: the depth deviation of the thermocouple installation is ±ΔH, the width deviation is ±ΔL, and the blade height deviation is ±ΔR; the sample sets of thermocouple installation positions in the three directions are obtained as {H}, {L}, and {R}, respectively.

[0016] As a preferred option, the thermocouple-filled model is meshed and thermal conductivity calculations are performed;
[0017] The second temperature measurement result, which takes into account the embedment deviation of the thermocouple depth, is as follows:
[0018] {TH} = {TH1, TH2, ..., TH} 2n+1};
[0019] The second temperature measurement result, taking into account the embedment deviation in the width direction of the thermocouple, is as follows:
[0020] {TL} = {TH1, TH2, ..., TH} 2m+1};
[0021] The second temperature measurement result, taking into account the embedment deviation of the thermocouple blade in the height direction, is as follows:

[0023] Among them, {TH}, {TL}, and {TR} are the sets of temperature measurement results of thermocouple embedment deviation in three directions, respectively.
[0024] Preferably, the deviation and maximum deviation value of the metal temperature measurement results caused by the thermocouple installation deviation are calculated based on the first temperature measurement result T0 and the second temperature measurement results of the embedding deviation in the depth direction, the embedding deviation in the width direction, and the embedding deviation in the blade height direction.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention proposes for the first time in related applications and fields an evaluation method for the error range of thermocouples. By establishing an ideal thermocouple embedding model, the first temperature measurement result is calculated. Based on the thermocouple installation process, a thermocouple embedding model for three sets of blades considering installation deviations is established to obtain the second temperature measurement result. Based on the first and second temperature measurement results, the deviation of the metal temperature measurement result caused by the thermocouple installation deviation is obtained. The thermocouple installation deviation is comprehensively considered, which improves the accuracy of temperature measurement of turbine blades in gas turbine tests, helps blade designers to conduct more accurate and detailed test data analysis, and improves the level of blade cooling design. It is applicable to various test conditions and various thermocouple embedding methods. Attached Figure Description
