The tip width in a turbine blade of a gas turbine engine refers to the width of the blade at its tip, typically measured perpendicular to the blade’s length and thickness. It’s an important geometric parameter used in the design and analysis of turbine blades.
The formula to calculate the tip width is as follows:
- Tip Width is the width of the turbine blade at the tip, typically measured in meters (m) or millimeters (mm).
- Maximum Width is the maximum width of the blade at a specific cross-section near the tip, measured perpendicular to both the length and thickness of the blade, in the same unit as the tip width.
- Minimum Width is the minimum width of the blade at that same cross-section, also measured in the same way and unit asÂ
