ABSTRACT
Thermal mapping for health monitoring of gas turbine is essential as modern day gas turbine subjected to very
high temperature applications, gas turbines are used extensively for aircraft propulsion, land-based power
generation, and industrial applications. Developments in turbine cooling technology play a critical role in
increasing the thermal efficiency and power output of advanced gas turbines. Gas turbine blades are cooled
internally by passing the coolant through several rib-enhanced Some tine passages to remove heat conducted
from the outside surface. External cooling of turbine blades by film cooling is achieved by injecting relatively
cooler air from the internal coolant passages out of the blade surface in order to form a protective layer between
the blade surface and hot gas-path flow. For health monitoring of gas turbine blade, this presentation focuses on
the effect of critical zone and hot spot along temperature distribution by using thermal paint. The comp utational
flow and heat transfer results are also presented. This presentation includes unsteady high free-stream
turbulence effects on film cooling performance with a discussion of detailed heat transfer coefficient and film-
cooling effectiveness distributions for standard and shaped film-hole geometry using the newly developed
transient liquid crystal image method.
Keywords: Thermal mapping, Blade internal cooling, Rotational effect, Film cooling,

1. INTRODUCTION
The project is mainly based on thermal mapping and cooling of G.T. blades. Modern day turbine are designed to
run at well in excess current metal temperature limit Thermal mapping is going to be done by using thermal paint, it
gives temperature distribution across blades also detection of hot spot and critical zone. The G.T. blades exposed to
high temperature flue gases, many advance material proposed still not able to sustain it. So blades may fail and
deform that adversely affect the efficiency. The main motive of this project is to proposed effective cooling
technique to maintain proper health of Gas turbine blade. Investigation of advanced thermal mapping technique
Proposal for enhancement of cooling of G.T.blade. Investigation of rapid prototyping technique as advanced tool for
manufacturing of G.T. blade.
Prototypes of turbine blade are manufactured using rapid prototyping technology to analyze the temperature
distribution over their surface It is essential that the surface on which the paint is to be applied should be perfectly
clean and free from rust and oil stains. Presence of even a minute oil trace or rust results in peeling of the paints at

elevated temperatures. The component surface is properly prepared before application of the paints. A very thin
layer of the paint just barely enough to cover the metal surface is applied using a spray gun with air pressure of 30-
50 psig. The painted blades are air dried for about one hour and are further cured by heating themin the laboratory
furnace up to 3000C for 2 hours. Curing is carried out to strengthen the thermal paint bond with the metal surface
avoiding debonding (fusing) at elevated temperatures. After completion of the curing cycle the components are
allowed to cool down in the furnace itself. Withdrawal of the components fromthe hot furnace and sudden exposure
to room temperature weakens the paint bond due to thermal shock multiple-line equations, the number should be
given on the last line. The gas turbine blade with internal cooling hole is designed by using CATIA V. 5 the
designed geometry is converted into stl. Format for manufacturing by using rapid prototyping. Then these blade are
exposed to hot gases with thermal paint applied on it. As blade subjected to high temperature gases temperature
distribution along blade determined by using changes in color of thermal paint. Also by using CFD tools various
analysis performed to evaluate cooling improvement in blade due to internal holes.
2. Cad modeling of gas turbine blade
CAD modelling of gas turbine blade is an important part of entire project. Because the blade profile is very Complex
and it will decide the nature of the hot flowing fluid inside and over a blade. The advanced CAD software i.e.
CATIA V5 is selected for modelling the gas turbine blade. The blades consist of different internal passages for
cooling of blade. The cad model with CATIA gives accurate surfaces with correct internal cooling geometry. The
exterior surface of gas turbine blade as shown in fallowing figure.

Another figure shows cut section of gas turbine blade, the internal cooling passages are provided to check how it
will improve cooling of blade as compressed air passing through the holes and produces filmalong internal surface
to increase cooling efficiently so it can exposed to high temperature to achieve higher output without damage to
blade.
Fig. 2 Gas turbine blade cooling schematic (a) External cooling (b) Internal cooling
The blades cooling various internal and external cooling techniques are employed to bring down the temperature of
the blade material below its melting point. As shown in Fig. 1.14. In internal cooling, relatively cold air is bypassed
from the compressor and passed through the hollow passages inside the turbine blade.

The experimental set up constitutes of a fixture to hold the gas turbine blade. The gas turbine blade with internal
cooling holes are painted with the thermal paint after proper surface treatment and fixed in the fixture. Hot
compressed air through an LPG flame ignited through a nozzle fitted on a hand heater gun is allowed to impinge on
the blade surface. The intensity of the hot air flow can be controlled by a regulating knob fitted on the gun holder.
The component is heated for a predefined fixed heating time. It should be seen that the gun is properly fitted in its
fixture so that the hot air is properly impinged in the required area. The component fixture is an oscillatory table
which can oscillate the mounted components about a vertical axis so that the required surface area of the component
can be exposed. A digital camera is mounted in position to capture the images of the thermal contours.
Fig: Painted Components
Fig: Heated Components
The blade with application of thermal paint gives various temperature zone and distribution. That compare with
blade without internal cooling holes. The component is heated for a fixed time exposing it to the elevated
temperatures. As soon as the component starts heating the applied paint changes its color generating a contour of
various colors embedded within with each color representing its respective temperature attained. The image of the
thermal contour obtained is grabbed and given as an input to the Digital Image Processing algorithm which is
developed for the Automatic Interpretation of the thermal paint data. The component is illuminated by a Xenon light
source to avoid the unnecessary reflections and capture the true color profiles. The thermal paint is calibrated by
heating it at an interval of 150C and a calibration database file is generated which contains the various color profiles
associated with their respective temperatures. The algorithm analyzes the image pixel wise and assigns every pixel
with its corresponding temperature value by comparing it with the calibrated data thus generating a detailed and
reliable thermal map of the components.
The gas turbine blade with cooling passage with thermal paint will gives temperature distribution and
hot spot. As shown in figure.

Above figure shows typical temperature distribution of gas turbine blade. Different color profile on blade specifies
different temperature range as given below.
The red section shows very high temperature in this portion also chances of blade failure more .the yellow portion
shows less temperature as compare with red portion. The green and blue portion exposed to lesser temperature. If
the internal cooling holes provide in the blade design it will increase cooling rate as compressed air passes through
these hole so that health of gas turbine will be monitored and maintained.
4. CONCLUSIONS
The thermal paint is a effective method of thermal mapping and internal holes in geometry of blade will be more
effective in gas turbine blades subjected to very high temperatures. Data acquired is of very high quality and does
not suffer from the dispersion due to thermal conduction in regions of high thermal gradients (such as those near
holes). Film cooling involves the measurement two parameters – film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer
coefficients (h). An attractive area for future research in gas turbine blade cooling. Investigations in the future could
focus on the effect of velocity, temperature and turbulence profiles exiting the combustion chamber on film cooling
of surface and end-walls of the first high pressure vane. Transfer analogy. A vast reliable database of results
detailing heat distribution on gas turbine blade.

Mandavkar1 , Suraj M. Surjuse2 Rishabh D. Sawane3 Deepa G. Dongre4 1 Jawaharlal darda institute of engineering. and technology, pankajmandavkar5@gmail.com 2 Jawaharlal darda institute of engineering. and technology, surajsurjuse111@gmail.com 3 , Jawaharlal darda institute of engineering. and technology, rishsawane71@gmail.com 41 Student, Jawaharlal darda institute of engineering. and technology, ddongre83@gmail.com ABSTRACT Thermal mapping for health monitoring of gas turbine is essential as modern day gas turbine subjected to very high temperature applications, gas turbines are used extensively for aircraft propulsion, land-based power generation, and industrial applications. Developments in turbine cooling technology play a critical role in increasing the thermal efficiency and power output of advanced gas turbines. Gas turbine blades are cooled internally by passing the coolant through several rib-enhanced Some tine passages to remove heat conducted from the outside surface. External cooling of turbine blades by film cooling is achieved by injecting relatively cooler air from the internal coolant passages out of the blade surface in order to form a protective layer between the blade surface and hot gas-path flow. For health monitoring of gas turbine blade, this presentation focuses on the effect of critical zone and hot spot along temperature distribution by using thermal paint. The comp utational flow and heat transfer results are also presented. This presentation includes unsteady high free-stream turbulence effects on film cooling performance with a discussion of detailed heat transfer coefficient and film- cooling effectiveness distributions for standard and shaped film-hole geometry using the newly developed transient liquid crystal image method. Keywords: Thermal mapping, Blade internal cooling, Rotational effect, Film cooling, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION The project is mainly based on thermal mapping and cooling of G.T. blades. Modern day turbine are designed to run at well in excess current metal temperature limit Thermal mapping is going to be done by using thermal paint, it gives temperature distribution across blades also detection of hot spot and critical zone. The G.T. blades exposed to high temperature flue gases, many advance material proposed still not able to sustain it. So blades may fail and deform that adversely affect the efficiency. The main motive of this project is to proposed effective cooling technique to maintain proper health of Gas turbine blade. Investigation of advanced thermal mapping technique Proposal for enhancement of cooling of G.T.blade. Investigation of rapid prototyping technique as advanced tool for manufacturing of G.T. blade. Prototypes of turbine blade are manufactured using rapid prototyping technology to analyze the temperature distribution over their surface It is essential that the surface on which the paint is to be applied should be perfectly clean and free from rust and oil stains. Presence of even a minute oil trace or rust results in peeling of the paints at

The component surface is properly prepared before application of the paints. A very thin layer of the paint just barely enough to cover the metal surface is applied using a spray gun with air pressure of 30- 50 psig. The painted blades are air dried for about one hour and are further cured by heating themin the laboratory furnace up to 3000C for 2 hours. Curing is carried out to strengthen the thermal paint bond with the metal surface avoiding debonding (fusing) at elevated temperatures. After completion of the curing cycle the components are allowed to cool down in the furnace itself. Withdrawal of the components fromthe hot furnace and sudden exposure to room temperature weakens the paint bond due to thermal shock multiple-line equations, the number should be given on the last line. The gas turbine blade with internal cooling hole is designed by using CATIA V. 5 the designed geometry is converted into stl. Format for manufacturing by using rapid prototyping. Then these blade are exposed to hot gases with thermal paint applied on it. As blade subjected to high temperature gases temperature distribution along blade determined by using changes in color of thermal paint. Also by using CFD tools various analysis performed to evaluate cooling improvement in blade due to internal holes. 2. Cad modeling of gas turbine blade CAD modelling of gas turbine blade is an important part of entire project. Because the blade profile is very Complex and it will decide the nature of the hot flowing fluid inside and over a blade. The advanced CAD software i.e. CATIA V5 is selected for modelling the gas turbine blade. The blades consist of different internal passages for cooling of blade. The cad model with CATIA gives accurate surfaces with correct internal cooling geometry. The exterior surface of gas turbine blade as shown in fallowing figure.

Fig. 2 Gas turbine blade cooling schematic (a) External cooling (b) Internal cooling The blades cooling various internal and external cooling techniques are employed to bring down the temperature of the blade material below its melting point. As shown in Fig. 1.14. In internal cooling, relatively cold air is bypassed from the compressor and passed through the hollow passages inside the turbine blade. 3. EXPERIMENTAL SET UP

International Journal of Research In Science & Engineering e-ISSN: 2394-8299 Volume: 1 Issue: 2 p-ISSN: 2394-8280 IJRISE| www.ijrise.org|editor@ijrise.org [01-06] The experimental set up constitutes of a fixture to hold the gas turbine blade. The gas turbine blade with internal cooling holes are painted with the thermal paint after proper surface treatment and fixed in the fixture. Hot compressed air through an LPG flame ignited through a nozzle fitted on a hand heater gun is allowed to impinge on the blade surface. The intensity of the hot air flow can be controlled by a regulating knob fitted on the gun holder. The component is heated for a predefined fixed heating time. It should be seen that the gun is properly fitted in its fixture so that the hot air is properly impinged in the required area. The component fixture is an oscillatory table which can oscillate the mounted components about a vertical axis so that the required surface area of the component can be exposed. A digital camera is mounted in position to capture the images of the thermal contours. Fig: Painted Components Fig: Heated Components The blade with application of thermal paint gives various temperature zone and distribution. That compare with blade without internal cooling holes. The component is heated for a fixed time exposing it to the elevated temperatures. As soon as the component starts heating the applied paint changes its color generating a contour of various colors embedded within with each color representing its respective temperature attained. The image of the thermal contour obtained is grabbed and given as an input to the Digital Image Processing algorithm which is developed for the Automatic Interpretation of the thermal paint data. The component is illuminated by a Xenon light source to avoid the unnecessary reflections and capture the true color profiles. The thermal paint is calibrated by heating it at an interval of 150C and a calibration database file is generated which contains the various color profiles associated with their respective temperatures. The algorithm analyzes the image pixel wise and assigns every pixel with its corresponding temperature value by comparing it with the calibrated data thus generating a detailed and reliable thermal map of the components. The gas turbine blade with cooling passage with thermal paint will gives temperature distribution and hot spot. As shown in figure.

International Journal of Research In Science & Engineering e-ISSN: 2394-8299 Volume: 1 Issue: 2 p-ISSN: 2394-8280 IJRISE| www.ijrise.org|editor@ijrise.org [01-06] Above figure shows typical temperature distribution of gas turbine blade. Different color profile on blade specifies different temperature range as given below. The red section shows very high temperature in this portion also chances of blade failure more .the yellow portion shows less temperature as compare with red portion. The green and blue portion exposed to lesser temperature. If the internal cooling holes provide in the blade design it will increase cooling rate as compressed air passes through these hole so that health of gas turbine will be monitored and maintained. 4. CONCLUSIONS The thermal paint is a effective method of thermal mapping and internal holes in geometry of blade will be more effective in gas turbine blades subjected to very high temperatures. Data acquired is of very high quality and does not suffer from the dispersion due to thermal conduction in regions of high thermal gradients (such as those near holes). Film cooling involves the measurement two parameters – film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficients (h). An attractive area for future research in gas turbine blade cooling. Investigations in the future could focus on the effect of velocity, temperature and turbulence profiles exiting the combustion chamber on film cooling of surface and end-walls of the first high pressure vane.
