The blade width in a turbine blade of a gas turbine engine refers to the dimension that extends perpendicular to the blade’s length and thickness. It’s essentially the width of the blade at a specific cross-section.
The formula to calculate the blade width is as follows:
- Blade Width is the width of the turbine blade, typically measured in meters (m) or millimeters (mm).
- Tip Width is the width of the blade at the tip, measured perpendicular to the blade’s length, in the same unit as the blade width.
- Root Width is the width of the blade at the root (base) of the blade, measured perpendicular to the blade’s length, also in the same unit as the blade width.
