What’s AN2?
DOE Phase 1: High Temperature, High AN2 LSB
The AN2 of a rotating turbine blade is a term that the industry uses to characterize blade size and flow capability. It is proportional to the annulus area
multiplied by the rotational speed squared:
It is an indicator of:
• The maximum air flow capability of the turbine system
• Airflow is directly correlated with total combined cycle plant output. In general, the larger the AN2, the larger the power output, and the lower
the overall GT $/kw and COE.
• The aerodynamic efficiency of the turbine system
• Larger annulus area reduces Mach no thereby increasing stage & diffuser aerodynamic efficiency
• The level of mechanical and aeromechanical design challenge. For a given AN2:
• Longer blade length (Rt-Rh) will result in lower blade and rotor stresses, but lower blade stiffness / frequencies
• Shorter blade positioned at a higher radius will have increased stresses, but higher blade stiffness / frequencies

What is Q
• Damping dissipates energy
• Undamped system response is
unbounded at resonance
• Damping bounds the response
• Q is the ratio of the dynamic
response at resonance to the
static response
• Lower is better.
