Cooling Performance and Structural Reliability of a Modified Corrugated-insert Air-cooled Turbine Blade with an Integrally Cast Shell and Base
A modified corrugated-insert blade with integrally cast shell and base was developed. This blade was as light as a conventional fabricated corrugated-insert blade. Of four test blades operated in a full-scale turbojet engine, one failed after about 15 hours operation at an inlet gas temperature of 1670 degrees F, a coolant-flow ratio of 0.0064, and a 1/3-span centrifugal stress of approximately 28,000 psi. Three other test blades ran for approximately 16, 31, and 36 hours without failure at similar conditions

Report presenting an investigation at the Lewis laboratory to develop air-cooled, strut-supported turbine blades. Six blades were investigated in a full-scale turbojet engine to obtain data on blade durability and blade-cooling effectiveness and strut temperature. Results regarding the heat-transfer investigation and blade-durability investigation are provided
