DETERMINATION OF PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS OF A DUAL DISCHARGE RADIAL TURBINE.
Abstract
The study was conducted to establish the performance parameters of a radial inflow, dual discharge turbine and to determine the effect of variations in axial clearance on these parameters. The representative stream surface is taken at the outer discharge radius instead of at a computed mass-average discharge radius, as was done previously. This technique results in considerably simplified computations and in better correlation of the rotor loss parameters. Tests were conducted at axial clearances from 0.015 to 0.081 inches and at total-to-static pressure ratios from 1.2 to 1.7 for each clearance. (Author)
