Abstract

A tested micro axial-type turbine consists of two stages and its mean radius of rotor flow passage is 8.4 mm. This turbine could be applied to a driver of micro power system, and its rotational speed in the unloaded state reaches to 100,000 RPM. The performance of this system is sensitive depending on the blade angles of the rotor and stator because it is operated in a low partial admission rate, so a performance test is conducted through measuring the specific output power and the net specific output torque with various blade angles on the nozzle, stator and rotor. The experimental results show that the net specific output torque is varied by 15% by changing the rotor blade angle, and the optimal incidence angle is about $10.3^{\circ}$.

본 연구에 채택된 마이크로터빈은 축류형 터빈으로 2단으로 구성되어져 있으며 로터 유로에서의 평균반경이 8.4 mm이다. 이러한 소형 터빈은 마이크로 동력시스템의 드라이브로 사용되어질 수 있으며 무부하 상태에서 100,000 RPM의 회전속도에 도달한다. 하지만 낮은 부분분사에서 작동하므로 동익과 정익의 익형각에 따라 성능의 변화가 발생되어진다. 따라서 노즐, 정익, 동익의 익형각을 변경하면서 비출력과 총 비토오크를 측정하여 각각의 성능을 분석하였다. 성능실험의 결과에 의하면 동익 익형각의 변화에 따라 총 비토오크가 15%까지 변경되어졌으며 최적의 입사각은 $10.3^{\circ}$ 정도였다.
