Influence of nozzle inclination angle on velocity coefficient of inflow turbine with partial blading of runner

The paper considers a numerical experiment with three groups of low-consuming inflow turbines with partial blading of the runner. Geometrical models of the turbine stages with partial blading of the runner at different angles of the nozzle inclination have been developed. The inflow turbine stages with partial blading of the runner are investigated. The efficiency and speed coefficient of the inflow turbine nozzles are calculated. There has been carried out numerical modeling of the working fluid flow by using the computational gas dynamics elements. Pick values of the nozzle apparatus velocity coefficient and the turbine stage efficiency are defined. Geometric models of the turbine stages with different nozzle inclination angles are developed, the boundary conditions of the experiment are determined, and the experiment results are analyzed and shown. There are given the dependence graphs of the nozzle velocity coefficient and the efficiency of a low-consuming inflow turbine stage. Comparative analysis of the nozzle velocity coefficient and the efficiency of three turbine stages with different inclination angles of the nozzles in the nozzle apparatus has been carried out. Conclusions are drawn about further procedures on improving the flow part of the runner to increase the efficiency of the stage.
