Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Aerodynamic Design and Performance Evaluation of Pipe Diffuser for Centrifugal Compressor of Micro Gas Turbine

arXiv:2404.11828v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study introduces a new approach to optimize the geometrical parameters of pipe diffusers in centrifugal compressors for Micro Gas Turbines, tailored for a 100 kW unit. The methodology draws insights from optimized airfoil-type diffusers and addresses the unique topological challenges of pipe diffusers, using diffuser maps to enhance design precision. The effectiveness of this method is validated through 3D-RANS based steady CFD simulations, using the ANSYS CFX solver. Comparative performance assessments at 100 percent rotation speed show that the best-performing pipe diffuser slightly trails its airfoil counterpart in efficiency, achieving 82.2 percent total-to-total isentropic efficiency compared to 84.4 percent. However, it offers a reduced frontal area, enhancing compactness. The analysis also reveals a dualistic impact from the leading-edge geometry of the pipe diffuser, which generates two counter-rotating vortices. These vortices have beneficial effects in pseudo and semi-vaneless spaces while introducing destabilizing factors in channel spaces. This investigation highlights potential trade-offs and outlines conditions under which adverse effects dominate, leading to significant flow separation. These insights pave the way for refining diffuser designs to better balance performance with spatial efficiency, marking a critical step forward in compressor technology of micro gas turbine for decentralized power systems.
