Question
The width of a gas turbine rotor shown in the diagram below, varies linearly from the centre.
Xc=160 mm to the outer periphery, X=60mm. The temperatures measured at radial
locations of 90 mm and 450mm are measured to be 330° C and 645° C respectively. The rotor
material thermal conductivity is given as 0.345W/m° C. Determine the radial heat flow rate
through the runner assuming steady state. Also find out the percentage change of heat flow
rate that would occur if the rotor is having uniform thickness of 60mm.
