Abstract
To accurately predict shaft-type and disk-type windage losses in gaps of supercritical CO2 (sCO2) turbine-alternator-compressor (TAC) units, the factors influencing skin friction coefficients Cf,s and Cf,d are investigated, the flow characteristics are analyzed, and the models of Cf,s and Cf,d are proposed. The results reveal the Cf,s and Cf,d decrease with Reynolds number Re increasing, but rise as pressure ratio π and radius ratio η. The leakage flow rate remains constant for Re < 105 and decreases when Re ≥ 105 as Re increases, but grows with π and η. Furthermore, the influences of Re on flow are minor compared to π, and vorticity growth with η increases flow instability, which makes corresponding Cf,s and Cf,d grow. The maximal relative deviations of 5.24% and 4.87% prove the proposed models are reliable. These conclusions accurately predict windage loss in whole gaps of TAC units, which helps design small sCO2 power devices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
