Aerodynamic design of a gas turbine rotor blade for the KTH test turbine
The purpose of the thesis was to design a new rotor blade for the KTH test turbine according to present design guidelines for gas turbines manufactured at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery in Finspång. Stage one of a real gas turbine was used as a reference for the aerodynamic design providing a starting point for the project. Using similar gas conditions the new rotor blade was optimized with reg
