Two-stage turbocharging becomes prevailing in internal combustion engines due to its advantage of flexibility of boosting for the variation of operational conditions. Two turbochargers are closely coupled by engine manifolds in the system especially under the requirement of compactness. This paper studies the influence of the interaction of two turbines in a two-stage turbocharging system on the performance. Results show that the performance of low-pressure turbine is highly sensitive to the stage interaction. Specifically, compared with the cases without interaction, the efficiency of low-pressure turbine increases maximumly by 2.8% when the bypass valve is closed, but reduces drastically by 7.5% when the valve is open. Detailed flow analysis shows that the combined results of swirling flow from the high-pressure turbine and the Dean vortex caused by the manifold elbow result in the alleviation of entropy generation in the turbine rotor. However, when the bypass valve is open, interaction of the swirling flow with the injected bypass flow results in strong secondary flow in the volute and distorted inlet flow condition for the rotor, leading to the enhancement of entropy generation in low-pressure turbine. The study provides valuable insights into turbine performance in a two-stage turbocharging system, which can be used for the modeling and optimization of multi-stage turbocharging systems.

Matching of a two-stage turbocharging system is important for high efficiency engines because the turbocharger is the most effective method of exhaust heat recovery. In this study, we propose a method to match a two-stage turbocharging system for high efficiency over the entire range of operational conditions. Air flow is an important parameter because it influences combustion efficiency and heat load performance. First, the thermodynamic parameters of the engine and the turbocharging system are calculated in eight steps for selecting and matching the turbochargers. Then, by designing the intercooler intensity, distribution of pressure ratio, and compressor operational efficiency, it is ensured that the turbochargers not only meet the air flow requirements but also operate with high efficiency. The concept of minimum total drive power of the compressors is introduced at a certain boost pressure. It is found that the distribution of pressure ratio of the high- and low-pressure (LP) turbocharger should be regulated according to the engine speed by varying the rack position of the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) to obtain the minimum total drive work. It is verified that two-stage turbochargers have high efficiency over the entire range of operational conditions by experimental research. Compared with the original engine torque, low-speed torque is improved by more than 10%, and the engine low fuel consumption area is broadened.

The article presents a refining method for a two-stage screw centrifugal pump by the joint usage of mathematical optimization software IOSO, meshing complex NUMECA and CFD software ANSYS CFX. The pump main parameters: high-pressure stage rotor speed was 13300 rpm; low-pressure rotor speed was 3617 rpm by gearbox; inlet total pressure was 0.4 MPa; outlet mass flow was 132.6 kg/s at the nominal mode. This article describes the process of simplifying the calculation model for the optimization. The parameters of camber lines of the low-pressure impeller, transition duct, and high-pressure impeller blades for two sections (hub and shroud) were chosen as optimization parameters. The blades of low-pressure impeller, transition duct and high-pressure impeller have changed during optimization. The optimization goal was the increase of the pump efficiency with preservation or slight increase in the pressure head. The efficiency was increased by 3%.

Based on the model similarity theory, this article deduces the model similarity relationship of the elevated railway box girder at the elastic stage and designs a 1/10 box girder scale model by adopting a 32 m simply-supported box girder bridge from the Beijing–Shanghai Railway as the prototype. It then verifies the validity of the model design and the dynamic similarity between the 1/10 model and the prototype through constraint mode and free mode experiments on the 1/10 scale model, together with transient finite element calculation. The dynamic calculation model is utilized here for the analysis of the errors occurring in the production of the model, and the effect of the model structure simplification on the box girder mode frequency and vibration response. Finally, the article studies the vibration transmissibility characteristics between the plates and along the longitudinal direction by means of model testing. It also discusses the effect of different bridge support stiffness on the box girder vibration. The results presented in this paper can provide a method for forecasting and evaluating the existing or plan-to-build high speed railway environment vibration.

This paper took a two-stage turbocharged heavy-duty six-cylinder diesel engine as the research object and established a two-stage turbocharging system matching model. The influence rules between the two-stage turbocharging key parameters were analyzed, while summarizing an optimization method of key parameters of a two-stage turbocharger. The constraint equations for the optimal distribution principle of the two-stage turbocharger’s pressure ratio and expansion ratio were proposed. The results show that when the pressure ratio constraint equation and expansion ratio constraint equation are satisfied, the diesel engine can achieve the target pressure ratio, while the total energy consumption of the turbocharger is the lowest.
