1) The document discusses the design and analysis of a turbo jet engine high pressure turbine (HPT) rotor blade. It analyzes two potential materials, Inconel 718 and Titanium T6, to achieve good performance.
2) A CAD model and finite element analysis of the HPT blade is presented. Results show that under operating conditions of 101kPa pressure and 1000°C temperature, the blade experiences less deformation and stress when made from Inconel 718 compared to Titanium T6.
3) While Titanium T6 has better heat dissipation properties, Inconel 718 is concluded to be the better material choice as it is stronger at high temperatures and more economical.
2. Introduction to the Turbo Jet Engine :-
The turbojet is an air breathing jet engine, usually used in aircraft. It consists of
a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle. The gas turbine has an air inlet, a
compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (that drives the compressor).
The compressed air from the compressor is heated by the fuel in the combustion
chamber and then allowed to expand through the turbine. The turbine exhaust it
then expanded in the propelling nozzle where it is accelerated to high speed to
provide thrust.
The Ideal Gas Turbine cycle – Brayton cycle:-

26. CONCLUSION :-
• It is seen from above results of both the materials are giving the considerable
results; finally the conclusion can be done on the basis of the total deformation ,
Von Mises stress and Heat flux.
• It is also seen Inconel 718 have good material properties but it have higher
thermal conductivity than Titanium T6 and the heat flux of Inconel 718 is higher
in comparison of Titanium T6 so cooling is easy in Titanium T6.
• So we can conclude from above result and observation that structure of is safe for
given loading condition and also, Inconel 718 is better material as compare to
that of Titanium T6 in economically as well as strength at higher temperatures.
