Hi Patty,
I also bought one of those...seemed like a good addition to the collection...unfortunately, I think the corresponding axial turbines listed are priced way too high, so unless they come down I will probably only get the radial turbine.
These are the radial turbine that is used in the GTCP100, which is the only example of a commercial gas turbine that I can think of that has a radial turbine first stage and an axial second stage.

Hi Chris.
Thanks for that. I was gonna buy both but chose to buy just one of them.
Do you have a cut Section view of that engine or a picture. I am trying to see how this particular part fits in the engine. Will help to decide the adequate bearing arrangement for the wheel in free turbine application.
Thanks

I do but the image post thing doesn't seem to be working right now. I'll upload it later.

Here is the x-section.. Thanks Chris. By looking at the actual part I have, the shaft that transmits torque between the turbine and compressor (where torque is more) is too small compared to the curvic coupled shafts between the compressors and between the turbines. I think rotor dynamics may have to do something with this. Since I have both ends of the turbine capable of being adapted to take a gear for power transmission I was thinking which side to use for power turbine application. Thanks |
