Method, systems, and apparatuses for transition piece contouring

摘要

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, methods, and systems for transition piece contouring. In an embodiment, a high thermal stress section of a transition piece and a low thermal stress section of a transition piece is a determined. The low thermal stress section of the transition piece may be contoured to intercept hot gas flow.

主权项

1. A method of optimizing a transition piece shape comprising:
determining a first area for a first transition piece, wherein the first area for the first transition piece is a high thermal stress section of the first transition piece; determining a second area for the first transition piece, wherein the second area for the first transition piece is a low thermal stress section of the first transition piece; determining a contour of the second area for the first transition piece, wherein the determined contour intercepts hot gas flow; and creating the first transition piece with the determined contour of the second area for the first transition piece, further comprising contouring the second area of the first transition piece via an attachment.
