Preliminary Design Report of Low Volumetric Flow Turbine
Abstract
The report covers the preliminary design of a 'Low Volumetric Flow Turbine Design.' The turbine concept is based on a reaction design using close clearance gas bearing type seals to control leakage past the rotor blade passages. The turbine concept is an outgrowth of the turbine described in DDC Report AD831635L, titled 'Low Volumetric Flow Turbine Performance Prediction and Analysis,' dated March 1968. A preliminary design analysis of a turbine unit that is to be used for test evaluation of the performance potential of the controlled leakage seals and aerodynamic passages was conducted and is covered by this report. A preliminary layout drawing of the turbine unit was completed and included in this report.
