Abstract
Recently, thermal power generation is increasing to compensate the stoppage of nuclear power plants in Japan. The steam turbines are used for thermal power plants and the importance is increasing as the core component of the power generation. The development for the A-USC(advanced ultra super critical) power plant is a very remarkable project to increase the efficiency of the power generation. Also the development to increase the efficiency of each element is important. This research is focused on the 3D design turbine blade and the method to further reduce the loss of the blades. The 3D blade loss is minimized by the optimum selection of 3D blade parameters and adopting 3D fence. The optimization is conducted by using CFD and experiment.
