What's inside?
The paper highlights design of a Centrifugal Compressor Stage and a Radial-inflow Turbine Stage for a Supercritical CO2 Recompression Brayton Cycle by Using 3D Inverse Design Method. It suggests that ideal gas assumption is not proper for the design of turbomachinery blades using supercritical CO2 (S- CO2) as working fluid especially near the critical point. Therefore, the inverse design method which has been successfully applied to the ideal gas is extended to applications for the real gas by using a real gas property.
In this publication, you will:
- Learn about the development of supercritical CO2 and the challenges it presents
- Understand how the real gas effect was brought into the inverse design method using a lookup table
- Discover how the method was validated using the blade loading obtained from the inverse design along with 3D CFD simulations
