The performance experiment was tested for the velocity compound turbine of turbopump which was the main part of 75 ton class liquid rocket engine. The seal is installed between the 1st rotor and the reversing vane to reduce the leakage flow. The turbine outlet pressure of the velocity compound turbine by changing the rotating speed was compared with that of baseline turbine with single rotor including the effect on the total performance.

Present study was conducted numerical analysis for velocity compound supersonic impulse turbine with the rotor overlaps, and the performance characteristics were analyzed through the numerical results. Tip overlap was more effective than hub overlap through the analysis. a case, overlap applied the hub and tip of the rotor, has the largest improvement for the turbine performance in parametric study cases. In case of overlap for the 2nd stage rotor, however, improvement of the turbine performance was not visibly large. Because, power generated in the 2nd stage was 22~23% of whole generated turbine power.

As a preview study, present research analysed the performance characteristics of a velocity compound supersonic impulse turbine with the rotor overlaps before adapting the overlap has the best turbine performance. This research was conducted for the turbine with square cross-section nozzles instead of axisymmetric nozzles and wrap around nozzles. Through 3-dimensional flow analysis for the turbine by a commercial flow analysis package, tip overlap case was more effective to improve the turbine performance than case hub overlap, and overlap case applied the hub and tip of the rotor had the largest improvement for the turbine performance in the cases. In case of overlap for the 2nd stage rotor, improvement of the turbine performance was not visibly large. Because, generated power in the 2nd stage is 22~23% of whole generated turbine power.

The aim of this study was to find the initial design value of turbine blade for electrical type turbocompound system generating 10 kW. Turbocompound is one of the waste heat recovery system applying to internal combustion engine to recover exhaust gas energy that was about 30 % of total input energy. To design the turbine blade, 1-D mean line flow model was used. Exhaust gas temperature, pressure, flow rate and turbine rotating speed was fixed as primary boundary conditions. The velocity triangles was defined and used to determine the rotor inlet radius and width, the rotor outlet radius at shroud and radius at hub, the rotor flow angles and the number of blades.

Numerical analyses of a turbine redesigned to achieving the weight reduction by equipping square nozzles and the original turbine have been conducted and the results have been compared. The results show that the turbine with square section nozzles has more even flow distribution at the first row rotor inlet and less inactive areas but the loss induced by wake is increased. Despite the wake loss, the newly designed turbine shows better performance than the original one. It has also been found that the turbine performance can be improved by reshaping its stator and second row rotor.
