    Abstract: A variable geometry turbine includes a variable nozzle unit for adjusting a flow of exhaust gas in an exhaust gas passage for introducing exhaust gas to the turbine rotor. The variable nozzle unit includes a plurality of nozzle vanes disposed in the exhaust gas passage at intervals in the circumferential direction of the turbine rotor. When the exhaust gas passage is divided into a near-tongue region in the vicinity of a tongue portion of the scroll passage and a far-tongue region which is a region other than the near-tongue region, the plurality of nozzle vanes includes at least one near-tongue nozzle vane disposed in the near-tongue region and at least one far-tongue nozzle vane disposed in the far-tongue region. The at least one near-tongue nozzle vane has, in at least one of a leading edge or a trailing edge of the near-tongue nozzle vane, a notch that is cut out to a greater extent than a leading edge or a trailing edge of the far-tongue nozzle vane.

    Abstract: This command generation device generates a control command for a power conversion device which converts DC power outputted by a DC power supply device to AC power and supplies the same to a bus, and which converts AC power from the bus to DC power and supplies the same to the DC power supply device. Said command generation device comprises: a virtual power generation calculation unit which simulates the driving of a virtual power generator and, on the basis of a rotor model that calculates the rotational speed of the virtual power generator, calculates the root-mean-square voltage and phase of the virtual power generator; a bus calculation unit which calculates the voltage and phase at a point of contact between the power conversion device and the bus; a phase difference angle calculation unit which calculates the phase difference angle between the phase of the virtual power generator and the phase at the point of contact; a target power determination unit which determines a target value for the effective power of the power conversion device on the basis of the root-mean-square voltage of the virtual power generator, the voltage at the point of contact and the phase difference angle; and a command generation unit which generates a control command for the power conversion device on the basis of the determined target value for the effective power.

    Abstract: In the technical field of wastegate valves comprising a functional assembly of a body member (20) and an actuable member (30), measures are proposed to limit axial wear of the body member (20) and the actuable member (30) on each other as a result of engine vibration and pulsation. One of the measures involves a design of the wastegate valve in which at least one of surfaces (24, 33) of the body member (20) and the actuable member (30) facing each other in an axial direction (A) of the wastegate valve is provided with at least one elevated portion (26, 35) delimited by at least one recessed portion (27, 36) in at least a tangential direction (T) about the axial direction (A). In this way, one or more spaces for receiving tiny wear particles from the interface between the body member (20) and the actuable member (30) are obtained.

    Abstract: A combustor includes: a combustion cylinder; and a combustion-chamber forming member disposed so as to be at least partially inserted into the combustion cylinder and forming a combustion chamber with the combustion cylinder. A radial-direction gap for introducing film air is formed between the combustion cylinder and the combustion-chamber forming member. A gas turbine includes a combustor; a compressor for generating compressed air; and a turbine configured to be rotary driven by combustion gas from the combustor.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine housing for use in a turbocharger, comprising a wheel housing space, an inlet, at least one volute, and a tongue that projects from a separation wall. The tongue is configured to guide an exhaust gas flow to a section of the wheel housing space where an inducer area of a turbine wheel to be accommodated by the turbine housing is to be located. At least one of the tongue and the separation wall is configured to enable a portion of the exhaust gas flow to pass therethrough as a leakage flow from an upstream side of the at least one of the tongue and the separation wall to a downstream side of the at least one of the tongue and the separation wall.
