Abstract:
An accurate condensation model plays an important role in the development of high-efficiency turbine. Mai efforts have been devoted into the research on steam non-equilibrium condensation. However, aiming at t cryogenic gas at high-speed flow the studies on the condensation model are still inadequate and i comprehensive. In present paper, different condensation models, established via the alternations of nucleatii model and droplet growth model are compiled into commercial CFD software to simulate the non-equilibriu condensation flow within a cryogenic radial-inflow turbo-expander. Firstly, the rotation effect on droplt diameter and distribution within the impeller passage are analyzed. The results point out the region where lar droplets are prone to form and gather. Furthermore, the influence mechanism of heat and mass transfer varying condensation models on the flow fields, including rapid nucleation, supercooled degree, liquid ms fraction, droplet diameter, are revealed based on the analysis of Nusselt number and Knudsen number. T results imply that the predicted location of condensation onset is little sensitive to the droplet growth model. last, the effect of modifications for nucleation rate and droplet growth rate on the thermodynamic losses turbo-expander are quantificationally discussed.
