Evaluating Gas Turbine Blade Profiles: A Design and Material Analysis

Abstract

This study focuses on the design and analysis of gas turbine blade profiles utilizing various materials to
optimize performance and efficiency in gas turbine engines. Gas turbine blades are critical components
that endure extreme temperatures and mechanical stresses during operation, making material selection
and blade design pivotal to their longevity and functionality. This research employs advanced modeling
and simulation techniques to evaluate the aerodynamic performance, thermal characteristics, and
structural integrity of different blade profiles constructed from materials such as titanium alloys,
nickel-based superalloys, and advanced composites. By conducting a comparative analysis of these
materials, the study aims to identify optimal configurations that enhance performance metrics such as
efficiency, durability, and weight reduction. The findings reveal significant insights into the impact of
material properties on blade performance, highlighting the potential for innovative materials to improve
gas turbine efficiency and reduce operational costs. Ultimately, this research contributes to the
advancement of gas turbine technology, providing valuable guidelines for engineers and manufacturers
in the development of more efficient and reliable turbine systems for various applications, including
aerospace and power generation.Key words: Gas Turbine Blade, study state Thermal analysis,
