Abstract

Air ejector diffusers are employed in gas turbine exhaust systems to cool the exhaust gases. These diffusers are developed as passive devices, which use the energy of the main flow to entrain the relatively cool ambient air through the annular slot openings. Multiple slot openings are provided along the length of ejector diffusers to lower the temperatures of the exhaust gases. This paper presents results of a 3-D numerical study carried out at a fixed Reynolds Number of 2.5×105 with a corresponding inlet Mach number of about 0.22 on three configurations of a non-circular ejector diffuser having an overall area ratio of 9. The three configurations being investigated are the best diffuser configurations established on the basis of cold flow studies reported in literature. The results are presented in terms of temperature distribution, entrainment mass flux rates and static pressure recovery. The results show that the higher number of slot openings improves cooling in the ejector diffuser as compared to thicker interfaces or inclination at the slot inlet.
