Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish the designing method of ORC(Organic Rankine Cycle) radial inflow turbines. RTDM(Radial Turbine Design Modeler) Ver.2.1 which is a preliminary design program of radial inflow turbines was developed to achieve this purpose. The 200kW-class radial inflow turbine for OTEC(Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) was designed by using the RTDM Ver.2.1 and CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation was performed to verify the accuracy of RTDM Ver.2.1. With the result of simulation, the accuracy of RTDM Ver.2.1 was almost 94.6% based on the designed total enthalpy drop of the radial inflow turbine. Strategy of adjusting the mass flow rate was adopted on this study to satisfy the requirements of its power and rotor outlet's conditions for the designed radial inflow turbine. The mass flow rate was consequently increased to 21.2 kg/s for the designed 200kW-class radial inflow turbine for OTEC, and then Total to total and Total to static efficiency are 89.8% and 85.36% respectively.

본 연구의 목적은 ORC(Organic Rankine Cycle) 반경류터빈의 설계기법을 확립하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 반경류터빈의 예비설계프로그램인 RTDM(Radial Turbine Design Modeler) Ver.2.1를 개발하였다. RTDM Ver.2.1의 정확성을 검증하기 위해 R32를 이용한 200kW급 OTEC(Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion)용 반경류터빈을 설계하였고 이에 대해 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 RTDM Ver.2.1의 정확성은 설계한 반경류터빈의 전엔탈피 강하를 기준하여 약 94.6%로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 반경류터빈의 설계요구조건인 출력조건과 로터출구조건을 충족시키기 위해 질량유량조정 방법을 도입하였다. 이에 따라 RTDM Ver.2.1을 이용하여 설계한 200kW급 OTEC용 반경류터빈의 질량유량은 21.2kg/s이며 이 때 Total to Total과 Total to Static 효율은 각각 89.8%, 85.3%이다.
