摘要:
A swept turbomachinery blade for use in a cascade of such blades is disclosed. The blade (12) has an airfoil (22) uniquely swept so that an endwall shock (64) of limited radial extent and a passage shock (66) are coincident and a working medium (48) flowing through interblade passages (50) is subjected to a single coincident shock rather than the individual shocks. In one embodiment of the invention the forwardmost extremity of the airfoil defines an inner transition point (40) located at an inner transition radius r.sub.t -inner. The sweep angle of the airfoil is nondecreasing with increasing radius from the inner transition radius to an outer transition radius r.sub.t-outer, radially inward of the airfoil tip (26), and is nonincreasing with increasing radius between the outer transition radius and the airfoil tip.

A flow directing assembly 24, 24a for a rotary machine 10 is disclosed. Various construction details are developed to decrease aerodynamic losses and promote the ease of design. In one particular embodiment, a concave region 58 of an end wall is employed to create convex wall regions 54, 56 upstream and downstream of the concave region.

A compressor or fan blade (112) for a gas turbine engine includes a suction surface midspan shroud (122) which is cambered so that the shroud trailing edge (132) is substantially aligned with the direction of the air flow in the vicinity of the shroud trailing edge (132). The cambered portion originates at the chordwise location where a shock wave (60) attached to the leading edge of the neighboring blade crosses the shroud (136). The cambered portion gradually transitions to an uncambered profile at a circumferential location intermediate the suction surface (110) of the blade (112) and the pressure surface shroud of the neighboring blade.

A system for producing power using an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) includes a turbine, a generator, an evaporator, an electric heater, an inverter system and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) voltage regulator. The turbine is coupled to the generator for producing electric power. The evaporator is upstream of the turbine and the electric heater is upstream of the evaporator. The evaporator provides a vaporized organic fluid to the turbine. The electric heater heats the organic fluid prior to the evaporator. The inverter system is coupled to the generator. The inverter system transfers electric power from the generator to a load. The ORC voltage regulator is coupled to the inverter system and to the electric heater and it diverts excess electrical power from the inverter system to the electric heater.

A variable nozzle system can comprise a gas inlet ring, an opposing gas outlet ring, an actuation ring, guides, and vanes circumferentially spaced about and disposed between the gas inlet ring and the gas outlet ring. The gas inlet ring, the gas outlet ring, and the vanes can form nozzles, the nozzles being variable by rotation of the vanes about a pivot axis. The plurality of guides can extend from the gas inlet ring, the gas outlet ring, or the actuation ring, and the vanes can be connected to the actuation ring, so that each vane can be rotated by rotation of the actuation ring and by sliding against a respective guide from the plurality of guides. The actuation ring can have a gear rack and can be rotated by rotatable engagement of the gear rack with a pinion attached to the end of a rotatable gear shaft.
摘要:
A method and system for operating a cascaded organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system (100) utilizes two waste heat sources from a positive-displacement engine (106), resulting in increased efficiency of the engine (106) and the cascaded ORC system (100). A high temperature waste heat source from the positive-displacement engine (106) is used in a first ORC system (102) to vaporize a first working fluid (118). A low temperature waste heat source from the positive-displacement engine (106) is used in a second ORC system (104) to heat a second working fluid (130) to a temperature less than the vaporization temperature. The second working fluid (130) is then vaporized using heat from the first working fluid (118). In an exemplary embodiment, the positive-displacement engine (106) is a reciprocating engine. The high temperature waste heat source may be exhaust gas and the low temperature waste heat source may be jacket cooling water.
摘要:
A machine designed as a centrifugal compressor is applied as an organic rankine cycle turbine by operating the machine in reverse. In order to accommodate the higher pressures when operating as a turbine, a suitable refrigerant is chosen such that the pressures and temperatures are maintained within established limits. Such an adaptation of existing, relatively inexpensive equipment to an application that may be otherwise uneconomical, allows for the convenient and economical use of energy that would be otherwise lost by waste heat to the atmosphere.
