This paper integrates a hybrid cooling model to the previous research of gas turbine performance prediction method which is applied to predict the multi-shaft gas turbine performance. The cooling model, combined with the semi-empirical model and analytical model, had been originally proposed for the investigation of turbine convective cooling or film cooling performance. The aim of the work is to apply the hybrid model to effectively estimate the coolant requirement in the gas turbine performance prediction, therefore to improve the reliability of the analysis in the innovative gas turbine cycle. The analysis involved a three-shaft gas turbine. Experiments were carried out on the engine, and the effectiveness of the prediction method is validated by the experiment. Consequently detailed performance characteristic of the engine is investigated under different stagger angles of the variable-angle nozzle, revealing how the stagger angle of the variable-angle nozzle and the turbine inlet temperature affect the gas turbine performance. The analysis is considered valuable for the engine operation and components optimization.Read More
