An Integrated Approach to Designing Robust Turbocompressors on Gas Bearings Through Surrogate Modeling and Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Soheyl Massoudi, Cyril Picard
Designing turbocompressors is a complex and challenging task, as it involves balancing conflicting objectives such as efficiency, stability, and robustness against manufacturing deviations. This paper proposes an integrated design methodology for turbocomp ...
2023The influence of splitter blades and meridional profiles on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for ORC applications; analysis, neural network modeling and optimization
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Sajjad Zakeralhoseini
This work presents the influence of splitters on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for organic Rankine cycle applications numerically. Different design parameters, such as impeller diameter at the outlet, number of blades, blade angle at the traili ...
2023Design, computational and experimental investigation of a small-scale turbopump for organic Rankine cycle systems
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Sajjad Zakeralhoseini
The hydraulic design, computational analysis, and experimental investigations of a high-speed small-scale turbopump for mobile waste heat recovery applications based on organic Rankine cycle systems are presented in this paper. Such applications demand hig ...
2023Time scales of dynamic stall development on a vertical-axis wind turbine blade
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Sébastien Le Fouest, Daniel Marie Fernex
Vertical-axis wind turbines are excellent candidates to diversify wind energy technology, but their aerodynamic complexity limits industrial deployment. To improve the efficiency and lifespan of vertical-axis wind turbines, we desire data-driven models and ...
2023A novel control strategy with an anode variable geometry ejector for a SOFC-GT hybrid system
A novel control strategy was developed with an anode variable geometry ejector for a solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system. The anode inlet temperature was controlled by combining two modes to achieve a greater controllable range: anode variab ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2022Aerodynamic study of a Hyperloop pod equipped with compressor to overcome the Kantrowitz limit
This paper describes an investigation of the aerodynamic performance of a Hyperloop pod equipped with an axial compressor using CFD simulation. The compressor is expected to reduce the drag if the operational speed of the pod exceeds the Kantrowitz Limit ( ...
2021Experimental assessment of an active (acoustic) liner prototype in an acoustic flow duct facility
Hervé Lissek, Maxime Volery, Gaël Matten
In this paper, experimental results of broadband noise reduction in an acoustic flow duct are presented. An active liner composed of an array of electroacoustic absorbers is used. The control law is based on the pressure-based, current driven digital archi ...
SPIE2021A new Euler-Lagrangian cavitation model for tip-vortex cavitation with the effect of non-condensable gas
Numerical simulation of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a challenging task in a variety of applica-tions, such as axial turbines and pumps as well as marine propellers. Although it is well known that TVC is highly sensitive to gas content, be it dissol ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Real-time optimization of load sharing for gas compressors in the presence of uncertainty
Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Predrag Milosavljevic
This paper investigates the problem of load-sharing optimization of gas compressors in the presence of uncertainty. The objective is to operate a set of compressor units in an energy-efficient way, while at the same time meeting a varying load demand. The ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020The Role of Reynolds Number Effect and Tip Leakage in Compressor Geometry Scaling at Low Turbulent Reynolds Numbers
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Markus Diehl, Christoph Schreiber
In compressor design, a convenient way to save time is to scale an existing geometry to required specifications, rather than developing a new design. The approach works well when scaling compressors of similar size at high Reynolds numbers but becomes more ...
