Experimental studies on effect of guide vane shape on performance of impulse turbine for wave energy conversion

This paper presents the experimental results of effect of guide vane shape on performance of an impulse turbine for wave energy conversion. Two types of guide vanes are considered in the present study: two-dimensional (2D) guide vanes and three-dimensional (3D) guide vanes. The previous investigations by the authors revealed that the 2D guide vanes cause large recirculation zones at leading edge of downstream guide vanes, which affect the performance of turbine considerably. In order to improve the performance of turbine, three-dimensional guide vanes are designed based on free-vortex theory. Detailed aerodynamic and performance tests have been conducted on impulse turbine with the two types of guide vanes. The experiments have been conducted under various inlet conditions such as steady, sinusoidal and random (real Sea) flows. From the results, it was proved that the efficiency of impulse turbine has been improved for 4.5% points due to 3D guide vanes. The hysteric characteristic has been noticed from the experimental results of impulse turbine with sinusoidal and random flow inlet conditions. Furthermore, it was investigated that the performance of turbine is considerably more during deceleration of inlet flow than the acceleration in a half cycle of sinusoidal wave.     

Computed effect of guide vane shape on performance of impulse turbine for wave energy conversion

This paper deals with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis on effect of guide vane shape on performance of impulse turbine for wave energy conversion. Initially, experiments have been conducted on the impulse turbine to validate the present CFD method and to analyse the aerodynamics in rotor and guide vanes, which demonstrates the necessity to improve the guide vanes shape. The results showed that the downstream guide vanes make considerable total pressure drop leads low performance of the turbine and hence three‐dimensional (3‐D) inlet and downstream guide vanes have been designed based on well‐known vortex theory to improve the efficiency of the turbine. In order to prove the improvement in efficiency due to 3‐D guide vanes, CFD analysis has been made on impulse turbine with 2‐D and 3‐D guide vanes for various flow coefficients. As a result, it is seen that the present CFD model can predict the experimental values with reasonable accuracy. Also, it is showed from the numerical results that the efficiency of the turbine can be improved by average of 4.5 percentage points by incorporating 3‐D guide vanes instead of 2‐D guide vanes. The physical reason for improvement in efficiency of the turbine due to 3‐D guide vanes has been explained with the CFD flow insight pictures. As the turbine operates in fluctuating flow conditions, the performance of the turbine with 2‐D and 3‐D guide vanes have been calculated numerically using quasi‐steady analysis. Furthermore, the performance of the turbine has been predicted for one year based on Irish wave climate to show the feasibility of using 3‐D guide vanes in actual sea wave conditions.

基于气液两相的导叶对液力透平内部流动规律的影响

为了研究气液两相条件下导叶对液力透平内部流动特性的影响,现选取比转速为55.7的离心泵反转作为液力透平,并在液力透平叶轮进口添加一组负曲率导叶,设计出含导叶的水力模型,研究含气工况下导叶对液力透平性能的影响。研究发现:添加导叶前蜗壳和叶轮流道内压力分布和气相分布不均匀,且含气率越高均匀性越差,过流部件内流动较为紊乱,蜗壳和叶轮流道内出现了旋涡;添加导叶后,在较高含气率工况下叶轮流道内压力分布相对均匀且混合介质的流动情况得到改善,水力损失减少;添加导叶后透平最优效率点的值要高于未添加导叶的最优效率点的值,但随着含气率的提高,添加导叶的液力透平效率比未添加导叶的透平效率下降快。

Design Method of Guide Vane for Wells Turbine

Guide vanes are installed in the Wells turbine in order to improve its efficiency, self-rotating characteristics and off design performance with stall. This work attempts to explain the role of these guide vanes on the basis of momentum theory. It is shown that the upstream vanes are more effective in enhancing efficiency than the downstream ones. A design method for guide vanes is suggested based on experimental data and potential theory. Experimental studies carried out by the author confirm the theory proposed.     

Effect of guide vanes on the performance of a self-rectifying air turbine with constant and variable chord rotors

A Wells turbine is a self-rectifying air flow turbine capable of converting pneumatic power of the periodically reversing air stream in Oscillating Water Column into mechanical energy. The Wells turbine has inherent disadvantages; lower efficiency, poorer starting characteristics, higher axial force and low tangential force in comparison with conventional turbines. Guide vanes before and after the rotor suggest a means to improve the tangential force, hence its efficiency. Experimental investigations are carried out on a Wells turbine with the constant chord and variable chord blade rotors fitted with inlet and outlet guide vanes to understand the aerodynamics. Experiments were also conducted for the above said rotors with various stagger angles to validate the design stagger angle. In addition, the starting and running characteristics of the rotors have been studied and compared with the case without guide vanes. Studies were done at various flow coefficients covering the entire range of flow coefficients over which the turbine is operable. The efficiency, starting characteristics of the turbines with guide vanes have improved when compared with the respective turbines without guide vanes.     

Effect of inlet guide vanes on the performance of small axial flow fan

Effects of the inlet guide vanes on the static characteristics, aerodynamic noise and internal flow characteristics of a small axial flow fan are studied in this work. The inlet guide vanes with different outlet angle are designed,which are mounted on the casing and located at the upstream of the impeller of the prototype fan. Both steady and unsteady flow simulations are performed. The steady flow is simulated by the calculations of Navier-Stokes equations coupled with RNG k-epsilon turbulence model, while the unsteady flow is computed with large eddy simulation. According to the theoretical analysis, the inlet guide vanes with outlet angle of 60° are regarded as the optimal inlet guide vanes. The static characteristic experiment is carried out in a standard test rig and the aerodynamic noise is tested in a semi-anechoic room. Then, performances of the fan with optimal inlet guide vanes are compared with those of the prototype fan. The results show that there is reasonable agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data. It is found that the static characteristics of small axial flow fan is improved obviously after installing the optimal inlet guide vanes. Meanwhile, the optimal inlet guide vanes have effect on reducing noise at the near field, but have little effect on the noise at the far field.     

Numerical simulation of air flow through turbocharger compressors with dual volute design

In this paper, turbocharger centrifugal compressors with dual volute design were investigated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The numerical simulation focused on the air flow from compressor impeller inlet to volute exit, and the overall performance level and range are predicted. The numerical investigation revealed that the dual volute design could separate the compressor into two operating regions: “high efficiency” and “low efficiency” regions with different air flow characteristics, and treating these two regions separately with dual diffuser design showed extended stable operating range and improved efficiency by comparing with conventional single volute design. The “dual sequential volute” concept also showed the potential to further extend the stable operating range by closing one of the volutes at low air flow rates. Furthermore, by comparing with other alternate designs such as variable diffuser vanes and variable inlet guide vanes, the operation of the dual sequential volute also features relatively simple control and calibration.     

Prediction of heat transfer coefficient in the cyclone separator of a CFB

This paper deals with the study of heat transfer behaviour in the cyclone separator of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) and how it is affected by relevant operating parameters. The experiments are conducted in a 140 mm diameter cyclone of a cold bed set‐up of 102 mm×102 mm bed cross‐section, 5.25 m height CFB. The cyclone separator is designed according to the high‐efficiency Lapple design and made to accommodate two identical heat transfer probes. From the experimental results, the heat transfer coefficient is found to increase with increase in solid circulation rate, as well as gas superficial velocity. The effect of bed inventory and heat flux on heat transfer coefficient has also been investigated. An empirical equation has been developed to predict the heat transfer coefficient in the cyclone separator based on dimensional analysis. The experimental results are compared with the predicted results and a good agreement has been observed. There is an optimal distance from the entry of the cyclone where the local heat transfer coefficient is maximum. The collection efficiency of the cyclone separator has been measured for all the operating conditions. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Impulse Turbine with 3D Guide Vanes for Wave Energy Conversion

In this study, in order to achieve further improvement of the performance of an impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes for wave energy conversion, the effect of guide vane shape on the performance was investigated by experiment. The investigation was performed by model testing under steady flow condition. As a result, it was found that the efficiency of the turbine with 3D guide vanes are slightly superior to that of the turbine with 2D guide vanes because of the increase of torque by means of 3D guide vane, though pressure drop across the turbine for the 3D case is slightly higher than that for the 2D case.     

Collection efficiency of cylindrical and elliptic cyclone dust collectors with vortex breaker

IntroductionUntil now there are many papers concerning thecollection efficiency and the cut-size Xo for thereturned type, axial type and also rotary flow typesof the cyclone dust collectors[1'2'3'4]. The crosssection of these cyclones is the circular cylindricalbody. One of the main reasons for the circularsection is that the flow control on the threedimensional turbulent rotational flow becomeseasy and also the movement of the solid particlesalong the concave wall surface becomes smooth.

Experimental and computational analysis on guide vane losses of impulse turbine for wave energy conversion

This paper deals with the detailed flow analysis of impulse turbine with experimental and computed results for wave energy power conversion. Initially, several turbulence models have been used in two-dimensional (2-D) computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis to find a suitable model for this kind of slow speed unconventional turbine. Experiments have been conducted to validate the CFD results and also to analyze the aerodynamics at various stations of the turbine. The three-dimensional (3-D) CFD model with tip clearance has been generated to predict the internal flow and to understand the effect of tip clearance leakage flow on behavior of the turbine in design and off-design conditions. As a result, it is found from the 2-D results that the comparison between computed and experimental data is good, qualitatively and the turbulence model, standard k–ε can predict the experimental values reasonably well, especially the efficiency of the turbine. Experimental results reveal that the downstream guide vanes are more responsible for low efficiency of the turbine and it is measured that 21% average pressure is lost due to downstream guide vanes. It is proved from the 3-D CFD model with tip clearance that it can predict the experimental values quantitatively and qualitatively. Furthermore, it is estimated from the computed results that the efficiency of the turbine has been reduced about 4%, due to tip clearance leakage flow at higher flow coefficients.     

Heat Transfer Enhancement in the Unfinned Frame of an Externally Cooled Induction Motor

This article describes an experimental investigation to study the effect of guide vanes on the heat transfer coefficient over the unfinned frame of an externally cooled induction motor. Guide vanes with various heights and spacings have been tested. In general, the guide vanes modify the air flow over the frame, hence increasing the heat transfer coefficient. An optimum heat transfer case is found, for which the average heat transfer coefficient is 70% higher than for the case without guide vanes. The velocity distributions of the air flow are measured for comparison with the heat transfer coefficient fields. The location of the terminal box is optimized, resulting in a 1° drop in the average temperature rise of the coil motor. Finally, the results of this research are applied to a real induction motor and its average coil temperature becomes 9° lower than that of a commercial motor.

Effect of guide vane shape on the performance of a Wells turbine

A Wells turbine has inherent disadvantages: lower efficiency and poorer starting characteristics. Providing guide vanes on either side of the rotor could be one of the most effective ways of improving its performance. Several papers have demonstrated the usefulness of 2D guide vanes so far. In order to achieve further improvement in the performance of the Wells turbine, the effect of 3D guide vanes has been investigated experimentally by testing a model under steady flow conditions. Then, the running and starting characteristics under irregular flow conditions have been obtained by a computer simulation using quasi-steady analysis. It is found that the running and starting characteristics of the Wells turbine with 3D guide vanes are superior to those with 2D guide vanes.

Design and experimental validation of the inlet guide vane system of a mini hydraulic bulb-turbine

The paper presents a fast design method for the inlet guide vanes of low-cost mini hydraulic bulb turbines. The guide vanes are positioned between two conical surfaces with a common vertex and have constant thickness distribution, except close to the leading and the trailing edges. The conical-walled inlet guide vane row is designed using a quasi-three-dimensional calculation method, by prescribing the angular-momentum distribution along the span at the outlet section of the guide vanes.The meridional through-flow is computed by a streamline curvature method and the blade-to-blade flow by a singularity surface method. The stagger angle and the vane camber are computed to fulfil the required design circulation and zero-incidence flow at the leading edge. The final vane shape is a single-curvature surface with straight leading and trailing edges. To validate the design method, a conical-walled inlet guide vane row nozzle-model with six fixed vanes was designed, manufactured and tested in an airflow rig. Traversing measurements along the circumferential and radial directions were made with a five-hole probe.The experimental results are compared with the prescribed design conditions and with numerical results from the three-dimensional inviscid and viscous flow computed with the FLUENT code.
