Computer Code for Off-Design Performance Analysis of Radial-Inflow Turbines with Rotor Blade Sweep

Download or read book Computer Code for Off-Design Performance Analysis of Radial-Inflow Turbines with Rotor Blade Sweep written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis procedure of an existing computer program was extended to include rotor blade sweep, to model the flow more accurately at the rotor exit, and to provide more detail to the loss model. The modeling changes are described and all analysis equations and procedures are presented. Program input and output are described and are illustrated by an example problem. Results obtained from this program and from a previous program are compared with experimental data. Meitner, P. L. and Glassman, A. J.
