Comparative study on the flow characteristics of large-discharge and low-head hydraulic turbines with different discharge structures
JOURNAL OF THE TAIWAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS(2024)
摘要
Background Hydraulic turbines are widely employed to recover residual energy from liquid pressure in industries. A double-discharge turbine can achieve the desired effect in large-discharge and low-head operations than the single-discharge ones. Methods This paper numerically compares the working mechanisms of these two structures from three aspects: internal flow field, energy loss and load behaviors and experimentally verifies the hydraulic performance. Significant finding The results show that the maximum efficiency of a double-discharge turbine is 85.77 % and that of a single-discharge turbine is 82.6 % under large-discharge and low-head working conditions. The wall-entropy generation region of a double-discharge turbine is smaller than that of a single-discharge turbine. That is why the energy loss of a double-discharge turbine is small. Moreover, the blade load form of the double-discharge turbine is the front-load type, which can obtain more dynamic moments than the medium-load blade of the single-discharge turbine, increasing the blade work capacity. Simultaneously, the difference in load distribution affects the flow field, so that the volute of the double-discharge turbine significantly increases the flow velocity. And a large vortex at the outlet and the tongue results in a large energy loss.
