Woooow.I Like turbines

Am confused. In the GE lexicon, blades and vanes are in the compressor section while buckets and nozzles are in the turbine section with blades and buckets being the rotating parts. And S1B would refer to stage 1 "bucket" in GE speak. So which is it, S1B in the turbine or R1 in the compressor. Very different oxidation problems between a cool and likely Inconel blade in the compressor and a very hot and internally cooled single crystal superalloy bucket in the turbine???

Thanks GE, it looks like a basic RCA for this case. Your online information about the issue, investigation and planned recovery it is crucial for "HA" gas turbines clients and your credibility.

Turbine rotor axial flow of air compressor which may have 17 stages. Intake is low pressure air and out put high pressure air which are used for combustion.. Air intake is which is first stage of Brayton cycle and air compression is second stage of the Brayton cycle. The third stage is combustion of fuel or gas due that heat is produced of constant pressure. Then these heat ior gas expand turbine blades and mechanical energy generated. The expansion is fourth stage of Brayton cycle.
