Project Summary
The usual gas turbines are based on the axial flow mechanism. The air enters from the inlet and flows in an axial direction throughout the turbine up to the exhaust nozzle. Turbochargers divert the flow radially generating more pressure at combustion chamber’s inlet resulting in more efficient burning and generating more power. This mechanism can also be reverse engineered to design a gas turbine using a centrifugal flow mechanism. This can help in generation of more power and thrust at the exhaust. We are developing such a gas turbine model using turbocharger. We will design the gas turbine, following the steps mentioned in project implementation method, and test our model.
Project Objectives
- To design and develop a cost effective and more efficient gas turbine using an automobile turbocharger.
- To study the effect of centrifugal compressors in a gas turbine.
Project Implementation Method
The First step after the literature review will be the selection of a turbocharger. After wards a CAD model of the selected turbocharger will be developed using 3D Modelling software. This model will then be used to get the mass flow rate at the compressor exit. For this purpose, COMSOL will be used. Mass flow rate provides parameters for the Design of the Combustion Chamber. CAD model of the combustion chamber will also be made. CpropepShell will be used to find the type of fuel that will power our gas turbine. Based on the type of fuel, injector selection will be made. Ignition system using spark plug will also be designed. For the lubrication and cooling of the turbocharger, oil system will be developed. Turbocharger will be water cooled and the bushes will need oil lubrication. Pumps will be used for the regulation of oil and water flow. All this equipment after assembling will be mounted on a test bench.
Benefits of the Project
The project can be used as any of the following ways:
- A centrifugal flow based gas turbine.
- A cost-effective power generation system.
- A small scale jet enigne that can be used in drones and rockets.
- A micro APU for the aircrafts.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable
