Computational and experimental research of a steam turbine system for an intra-cycle compression of fuel

The paper deals with the design of highly efficient small-size turbines. A method for designing a steam gas turbine using numerical methods for calculating the working processes in the flow section is described. The results of the calculated and theoretical research, which allowed determining the main characteristics of the turbine, are given. The estimated efficiency of the resulting turbine was not less than 85%. The results of tests in the model conditions of the model turbine, manufactured using additive technology, are presented. A comparison of experimental and calculated data has led to the conclusion about the adequacy of the developed mathematical model used in the calculated and theoretical research.
