This paper describes a method for predicting the performance under both turbine inlet steady state and non-steady state flow conditions of a mixed flow turbine used for turbocharged internal combustion engines. The mixed flow turbine steady state performances computed with the steady state performance prediction method are in good agreement with the experimental results obtained in the Imperial College turbocompressor cold air test rig. The unsteady state performance is computed using a one-dimensional model based on the solution of the unsteady one-dimensional flow equations. These equations are solved in the volute by a finite difference method using a four-step explicit Runge—Kutta scheme. The instantaneous volute exit condition is provided by the steady state rotor performance prediction model with the assumption of a quasi-steady state flow in the rotor. The computed instantaneous performances are in reasonable agreement with published experimental data for the same mixed flow turbine. The unsteady flow model is also used to study the effects of the frequency and the amplitude of the pulse on the performances of the mixed flow turbine.
Metallophthalocyanine complexes are obtained quickly and efficiently by the reaction of phthalodinitrile with hydrated metallic salts without solvent and under microwave irradiation. The use of a modified commercial microwave oven to perform this type of reactions under dry conditions is described. Metallophthalocyanines and metallododecachlorophthalocyanines of some divalent metals can be also obtained from phthalic or tetrachlorophthalic anhydrides with hydrated metallic salt and urea under microwave irradiation and without solvent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
