The investigation of flows in non-circular ducts of various sectional shape is of considerable engineering interest. In this paper, we perform simulations of the turbulent compressible flow in a duct of square cross section with streamwise curvature. The a ...
An experimental investigation has been conducted in the non-rotating annular test facility of the "Laboratoire de Thermique Appliquée et de Turbomachines" (LTT), "École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne" (EPFL). During this investigation, the unsteady aer ...
The project High Temperature Heat Pump has been completed in 2 phases. First a new type of scroll compressor with adapted injection port for vapor injection, was tested with an air-water heat pump (fig 2.2, 2.3). This type of heat pump reaches the extreme ...
A numerical method has been developed to study the effects of structural mistuning on the aeroelastic behaviour of turbomachinery cascades. The specific objectives of the work presented here were the following: A method was to be developed that can assess ...
This paper describes a photon-counting study of the cavitation luminescence produced by flow over a hydrofoil. This has previously been identified in water saturated with xenon. The four objectives of this study are: to determine whether luminescence can be ...
The Laboratory of Industrial Energy systems has evaluated a series of high performance air-water heat pump concepts with the aim to retrofit existing fuel fired boilers for residential hydronic heating systems. The results are published within the framewor ...
In this report different air-water heat pump cycles under the operating conditions of the retrofit market and in the low heating power range are examined. The already existing heat pump models show excessive power and efficiency loss at very low ambient te ...
An algorithm is proposed for the simulation of unsteady viscous stratified compressible flows. The advantage of the method is its capability to deal with a broad range of subsonic Mach numbers, including nearly incompressible flows, with a single modelling ...
The objectives of the present work is to theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the advantages of a two-stage cycle equipped with an economizer and single variable speed compressor for heat pumps using air as cold source. Furthermore, an efficient de ...
The setting level of an hydraulic machine, specially for low head machines, is decided with respect to the possible alteration of the efficiency due to the cavity development. This alteration can easily be noticed by plotting the evolution of the efficienc ...
