Pressure Loss Coefficient

When choosing silencers in air conditioning, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the acoustic attenuation, but also to the pressure loss of the silencer. If the pressure loss of the damper is too high, noise will occur directly in the damper. The pressure losses of the silencers are determined mainly experimentally. Based on the performed measurement, a CFD model of the selected silencer was constructed, where the influence of various parameters on the value of the pressure loss of the selected silencer was investigated.

Pressure Loss Coefficient

The vibration suppression of the proposed pitch-resistant hydraulically interconnected suspension system for the tri-axle straight truck is investigated, and the vibration isolation performances are parametrically designed to achieve smaller body vibration and tire dynamic load using increased pitch stiffness and optimized pressure loss coefficient. For the hydraulic subsystem, the transfer impedance matrix method is applied to derive the impedance matrix. These hydraulic forces are incorporated into the motion equations of mechanical subsystem as external forces according to relationships between boundary flow and mechanical state vectors. In terms of the additional mode stiffness/damping and suspension performance requirements, the cylinder surface area, accumulator pressure, and damper valve’s pressure loss coefficient are comprehensively tuned with parametric design technique and modal analysis method. It is found the isolation capacity is heavily dependent on installation scheme and fluid physical parameters. Especially, the surface area can be designed for the oppositional installation to separately raise pitch stiffness without increasing bounce stiffness. The pressure loss coefficients are tuned with design of experiment approach and evaluated using all conflict indexes with normalized dimensionless evaluation factors. The obtained numerical results indicate that the proposed pitch-resistant hydraulically interconnected suspension system can significantly inhibit both the body and tire vibrations with decreased suspension deformation, and the tire dynamic load distribution among wheel stations is also improved.

Xenon Mixture

Differing from the adoption of helium as working fluid of closed Brayton cycle (CBC) for terrestrial high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) power plants, helium-xenon mixture with a proper molar weight was recommended as working fluid for space nuclear reactor power with CBC conversion. It is essential to figure out how the component of helium-xenon mixture affects the net system efficiency, in order to provide reference for the selection of appropriate cycle working fluid. After a discussion of the physical properties of different helium-xenon mixtures, the related physical properties are studied to analyze their affection on the key parameters of CBC, including adiabatic coefficient, recuperator effectiveness and normalized pressure loss coefficient. Then the comprehensive thermodynamics of CBC net system efficiency is studied in detail considering different helium-xenon mixtures. The physical properties study reveals that at 0.7 MPa and 400 K, the adiabatic coefficient of helium-xenon mixture increases with increased molar weight, from 0.400 (pure helium) to 0.414 (pure xenon), while recuperator effectiveness firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of molar weight, and the normalized pressure loss coefficient increases monotonically with molar weight increases. The thermodynamic analysis results show that the adiabatic coefficient has less effect on the net system efficiency, while the net system efficiency increases with increased recuperator effectiveness, and the net system efficiency decreases with normalized pressure loss coefficient increases. Finally, the mixture of helium-8.6% xenon was adopted as working fluid, instead of pure helium, for ensuring less turbine mechanicals (turbine and compressor) stages, and resulting maximum recuperator effectiveness. At the given cold / hot side temperature of 400 / 1300 K, the net system efficiency can reach 29.18% theoretically.

FloMASTER is a 1-D thermo-fluids system simulation tool and its component models depend on the characterisation data of the component performance. Such performance data is mainly based on data banks established from extensive tests exemplified by the books like “Internal Flow” by Miller [1] and “Handbook of Hydraulic Resistance” by Idelchik [2]. One of the key components of the gas turbine secondary air system is the rotating annulus. However, reliable data and correlations for performance characteristics like pressure loss coefficient, torque coefficient, windage and heat transfer for this component are rare and non-existent in the open literature for the case of both walls rotating simultaneously, which is becoming more common in today’s multi-spool military aero engines. To overcome this challenge of lack of reliable performance data and correlations, in this paper the Mentor Graphics 3D CFD tool “FloEFD” is used to model both inner wall rotating and outer wall rotating annulus flow, and to verify the 3D CFD results of performance data in terms of pressure loss coefficient and torque coefficient versus some published test data in the open literature. It is shown that the CFD gives results on pressure loss and torque coefficients that are in good agreement with test data based correlations used in FloMASTER. This demonstrates that 3D CFD can be used as a powerful tool for verifying the existing 1D model, extending the 1D model performance data range and generating new performance data for developing new components where such data is not available from open literature. A future project is to extend this approach to provide performance data for rotating annuli with both walls rotating. Such data will form the basis for developing a new component model for a rotating annulus with both walls rotating.

This paper presents a practical and effective optimization approach to minimize 3D-related flow losses associated with high aerodynamic inlet blockage by re-stacking the turbine rotor blades. This approach is applied to redesign the rotor of a low speed subsonic single-stage turbine that was designed and tested in DLR, Germany. The optimization is performed at the design point and the objective is to minimize the rotor pressure loss coefficient as well as the maximum von Mises stress while keeping the same design point mass flow rate, and keeping or increasing the rotor blade first natural frequency. A Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is coupled with a Response Surface Approximation (RSA) of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) type. A relatively small set of high fidelity 3D flow simulations and structure analysis are obtained using ANSYS Workbench Mechanical. That set is used to train and to test the ANN models. The stacking line is parametrically represented using a quadratic rational Bezier curve (QRBC). The QRBC parameters are directly related to the design variables, namely the rotor lean and sweep angles and the bowing parameters. Moreover, it results in eliminating infeasible shapes and in reducing the number of design variables to a minimum while providing a wide design space for the blade shape. The aero-structural optimization of the E/TU-3 turbine proved successful, the rotor pressure loss coefficient was reduced by 9.8% and the maximum von Mises stress was reduced by 36.7%. This improvement was accomplished with as low as four design variables, and is attributed to the reduction of 3D-related aerodynamic losses and the redistribution of stresses from the hub trailing edge region to the suction side maximum thickness area. The proposed parametrization is a promising one for 3D blade shape optimization involving several disciplines with a relatively small number of design variables.
