Design of an Axial Turbine Rotor
The first step in the design of any turbine is to identify the required specific speed regime of the turbine. This will dictate the meridional shape and hence the...
Automatic Optimization of an Axial Turbine Rotor
In the first part of this article on the design of an axial turbine rotor, we showed that both aerodynamic and mechanical aspects of the baseline rotor need to be...
Automatic Optimization of a Radial Inflow Turbine Rotor
In the first part of this article on the baseline design of a radial inflow turbine stage, we showed that there is a clear trade-off when it comes to the aerodynamic and...
