Single passage cfd analysis for nonradial fibre element of low pressure turbine
Bin Ahmad1, Abdul Fattah2, Bin Mamat3, A.M.I4.
Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) is a mixed-flow low pressure turbine meant for
extracting energy from the exhaust of internal combustion engine. It converts
the expanded exhaust energy into mechanical energy to drive an electric
generator. The current available design of the LPT is only able to recover the
exhaust energy efficiently with a pressure ratio range of 1.04 to 1.30. However,
the performance efficiency deteriorates significantly when the pressure ratio
exceeds 1.25. In the previous studies, flow field analysis has shown that the
entropy is largely generated at the exit due to bigger vorticity. This vorticity can
be minimized by optimizing the exit flow direction. This can be done by
adjusting the exit camberline which reduces the deflection angle of the flow.
This will effect exit flow of the fluid; subsequently reduces the exit loss as
stipulated in the 1-Dimensional analysis of the turbine. Results have shown that
the overall efficiency of the turbine has been improved as much as 7% at
pressure ratios of 1.20. Its swallowing capacity is not largely affected at this
point and its velocity ratio has shifted slightly from its design point of 0.70 to
0.65.
