The supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2) Brayton cycle is considered one of the promising
power cycles. Centrifugal compressors are the core equipment of sCO 2 systems. The inlet …

The supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2) Brayton power cycle is more effective than the
conventional power cycle and is more widely applicable to heat sources. The inlet working …

The wave energy conversion of oscillation water column (OWC) systems is limited by the
narrow range of efficient operation of Wells turbines. Effective control methods are critical to …

Unsteady flow in the hub endwall region has long been a hot topic in the turbomachinery
community. However important it is to the performance of the whole engine, the coherent …

The thermal management and heat transfer behavior considering both the contoured
endwall and upstream wakes were seldom investigated. In the present work, the …

The rotating stall mechanism is of high importance for the stability of centrifugal compressors
and thermal power cycles. The majority of research concerning this topic has concentrated …

Flow instability associated with spike-stall restricts the development of advanced aero-
engines with a high-speed centrifugal compressor. However, given the irregular structure of …

To maximize the performance of the intermediate turbine duct (ITD) under off-design
conditions, the loss generation in a one-half stage turbine was quantified using entropy …

In centrifugal compressors, the identification of flow instability signals from experiments is a
difficult problem owing to the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics. Otherwise, the …

Adjustable vane diffuser is addressed as one of the main techniques in centrifugal
compressor in seeking of wider stability margin. Flow instabilities, however, may be driven …
