Design and CFD Simulation of Radial Inflow Turbine
This is my work during thesis of Bachelor degree in 2018. I designed a turbine with capacity 50kW harvesting energy from Organic Rankine Cycle based power system. The fluid selected is currently the best environment friendly organic fluid, which is R1233zd(E). Selected turbine type is radial inflow turbine. More than 80% of turbine efficiency is achieved. I started the design with 2 dimension analytical calculation utilizing thermodynamics and mechanics of fluids. Then 3D dimension like blade angle profile and camberline profile are calculated using well established method in turbine design. Most of selection parameters are from empiric data. 3D profile of stator (nozzle) or guide vane, rotor, and volute is constructed in SolidWorks. These models are individually imported to ANSYS WorkBench. The connection is made by interface. Meshing is done in TurboGrid for guide vane and rotor. CFX is used to simulate the design and off-design performance and also to optimze the design.
