Dear All,

I am trying to perform the static analysis of turbine blade in ANSYS. And i have a problem with finding the values of tangential force. How can i find it, if have following data: operating speed - 3000 RPM, stage power - 1413 kW, axial load 5544 N, number of blades - 45.

Thanks a lot!

I found this equation. Maybe it can help for someone.
Tangential force Ft can be found using the following formula:
Ft=(1000*P)/(e*v*z), [N];
where: P - stage power, [kW];
e - partiality degree;
v - circumferential velocity in the middle of the height of the blades, [m/s];
z - number of blades.
