Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Thermo-mechanical analysis and estimation of turbine blade tip clearance of a small gas turbine engine under transient operating conditions" ?
This paper presents the thermo-mechanical analysis of a typical SGT engine to study the blade tip clearance influenced by the deformation of turbine stage components ( turbine rotor, nozzle guide vane ( NGV ) with integral blade shroud ) during transient phases.
