Basing on the principle of virtual equivalent velocity, this paper adapt the method of extending axis flow impeller to the quasi 3-D flow design of diagonal flow impeller with the experimental cascade data of circular arc blade. The performances of diagonal flow fan with outlet guide volute designed by this method, are compared with that designed by airfoil section cascade data. The reasonablen...

one of the most problems that limits use of turbomachines at high speed applications is cavitation. cavitation can damage casing and blades of turbopump, also can make unstability in system. inducer that was installed in front of main impeller can improve cavitation characteristic of system and increase static pressure just before entrance of centrifugal pump. specially in fuel feed system of l...

The paper has established sixteen design schemes for super-low specific speed centrifugal pump compound impeller with orthogonal method, based on the main factors impacting the design of compound impeller, like short blades number of compound impeller, the relative position of blade radial inlet, blade circumferential bias degree, deflection angle, etc.,. By numerical simulation, the optimal de...


 Wind energy plays a tremendous role in power sector terms of wind turbine. Engineers and scientists are trying to improve the turbine design order get maximum efficiency from wind, which is one most cheap common renewable resource nature. The objective this study was horizontal rotor blade for site known data extract by using element theory analysis Q-Blade simulation. Eight different ae...

A compressor tip clearance flow control scheme is explored using fluidic actuators, the so-called " synthetic jets " , on the casing wall acting over the clearance region. The analysis of flow visualization images show the largest increase in mixing level when forced at the optimal frequency. A reduction in the tip clearance-related blockage is demonstrated using an array of synthetic jet actua...

Wind velocity distribution and the vortex around the wind turbine present a significant challenge in the development of straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). This paper is intended to investigate influence of tip vortex on wind turbine wake by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. In this study, the number of blades is two and the airfoil is a NACA0021 with chord length...

Constantly rising operating pressure and temperature in turbine drivers push the material capabilities of turbine blades to the limit. The recent development of heterogeneous objects by layered manufacturing offers new potentials for the turbine blades. In heterogeneous turbine blades, multiple materials can be synthesized to provide better properties than any single material. A critical task o...
