Question

Turbine blades are used to extract energy from the high temperatures.

(a) False

(b) True

The question was posed to me in examination.

Enquiry is from Airfoil Characteristics topic in division Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) True

To elaborate: The turbine blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature, high pressure gas produced by the compressor to survive in this difficult environment, turbine blades often use exotic material like super alloy and many different methods of cooling. Such as boundary layer cooling and thermal barrier coatings.
