Abstract:
A gas turbine engine is utilized in combination with a gear reduction to reduce the speed of a fan relative to a low pressure turbine speed. The gas turbine engine is designed such that a blade count in the low pressure turbine multiplied by the speed of the low pressure turbine will result in operational noise that is above a sensitive range for human hearing. A method and turbine module are also disclosed.
Abstract:
It is described a method for expanding an organic operating fluid in a Rankine cycle, comprising the step of feeding the operating fluid to a turbine provided with a plurality of arrays of stator blades alternating with a plurality of arrays of rotor blades, to define corresponding turbine stages, constrained to a shaft which rotates on the respective rotation axis. Advantageously the method comprises the further steps of: a) causing a first expansion of the operating fluid in one or more radial stages of the turbine, b) diverting the operating fluid exiting from the radial stages in a direction axial and tangential with respect to the rotation axis, and c) causing a second fluid expansion in one or more axial stages of the turbine. Step b) corresponds to an enthalpy change of the operating fluid equal to at least 50% of the average enthalpy change provided for completing the fluid expansion in the turbine. It is further described a turbine for expanding an organic operating fluid in a Rankine cycle, which allows to carry out the method above.
Abstract:
A power generation system that includes a heat source loop, a heat engine loop, and a heat reclaiming loop. The heat can be waste heat from a steam turbine, industrial process or refrigeration or air-conditioning system, solar heat collectors or geothermal sources. The heat source loop may also include a heat storage medium to allow continuous operation even when the source of heat is intermittent. Heat from the heat source loop is introduced into the heat reclaiming loop or turbine loop. In the turbine loop a working fluid is boiled, injected into the turbine, recovered condensed and recycled. The power generation system further includes a heat reclaiming loop having a fluid that extracts heat from the turbine loop. The fluid of the heat reclaiming loop is then raised to a higher temperature and then placed in heat exchange relationship with the working fluid of the turbine loop. The power generating system is capable of using low temperature waste heat is approximately of 150 degrees F or less. The turbine includes one or more blades mounted on a rotating member. The turbine also includes one or more nozzles capable of introducing the gaseous working fluid, at a very shallow angle on to the surface of the blade or blades at a very high velocity. The pressure differential between the upstream and downstream surfaces of the blade as well as the change in direction of the high velocity hot gas flow create a combined force to impart rotation to the rotary member.

Tais componentes formam dois subsistemas, um subsistema de conversão de energia e um subsistema de conservação de energia onde ambos executam um ciclo termodinâmico binário interdependentes, porém não diferencial. Operando com gás, realizando um ciclo termodinâmico composto por sete processos contínuos, isto é, todos os processos ocorrem simultaneamente, sendo três destes processos "isobáricos" e "quatro adiabáticos" com transferência de massa variável de um dos subsistemas para o outro dinamicamente, podendo esta ser nula ou parcial.
Abstract:
An energy generating system for transforming energy of fluid flow into electric energy, the system, at least in operation, comprising: a flow-changing member having a peripheral rim and mounted in a fluid path having a path surface, so as to be at least partially surrounded by said path surface, said flow-changing member being displaceable between a first position, in which at least a portion of the rim is spaced from a corresponding portion of the path surface to a first extent and a second position, in which said portion of the rim is spaced from said portion of the fluid path surface to a second extent greater than said first extent, so that increase of total volumetric flow rate of said fluid above a predetermined threshold to an increased volumetric flow rate is configured to induce displacement of said flow-changing member from said first position toward said second position, thereby causing the volumetric flow rate of said fluid at said spacing to be above said increased volumetric flow rate; and a turbine mounted in fluid communication with said fluid path at a location other than said spacing, whereby said displacement causes the volumetric flow rate of said fluid at said turbine to be below said increased volumetric flow rate.
