Abstract
At present, due to its special operating environment and operating conditions, there are few relevant theoretical studies and numerical simulation studies on micro-turbines. Therefore, the use of simulation technology to explore the internal flow law of micro-turbines is of great significance for the design optimization guidance of micro-turbines. The research method of this paper is through CFD software, using SST k-ω algorithm model. This paper studies the efficiency and output of micro-turbine with 8 blade numbers of 13,15,17,19,21,23,25 and 28, as well as the efficiency and output of micro-turbine with thickness of 12mm, 12.5mm, 13mm, 13.5mm and 14mm. The internal flow field characteristics, the pressure pulsation characteristics of impeller region and tip clearance region and the power loss distribution diagram are studied and analyzed. The results show that the maximum efficiency is 22.42% when the number of blades is 15, and 23.92% when the thickness is 10.5mm.
