Abstract:Radial outflow turbines (ROTs) offer an alternative to single-stage high-work axial turbines, for example, in steam and organic Rankine cycle applications. Previous studies have shown that axial turbine loss correlations tend to over-predict losses in comparison with numerical data. However, only part of the most used loss correlations has so far been subjected to analysis while, additionally, the effect of turbulence modelling has not been widely covered in the open literature exploring ROTs. This study, ther… Show more
