Inputs for Preliminary Design
TurboAeroDesign.com 4
Same mean radius chosen in the case design (11.78 inch) Same hub-to-tip radius ratio at the last stage (0.5703) Rotor inlet swirl (of 65° here) input is just an initial guess. Case design has a two-stage design, but a feasibility design was tried
from a single-stage design to a 3-stage design. Two representative options for velocity triangles across rotor are
provided in the program. Both option results will be compared. Symmetrical velocity triangles at rotor inlet and outlet No swirl at rotor outlet
PRELIMINARY DESIGN – AT1DP
Single-stage Design

Due to very high stage loading (of 4.0), a normal reaction turbine cannot achieve the required work.
Impulse turbine design was proposed, but a lower efficiency.
Quite high exit Mach of 0.76, expecting further performance drop in the exhaust diffuser
PRELIMINARY DESIGN – AT1DP
Two-stage Design
TurboAeroDesign.com 6
Each stage loading is 1.983, staying still high side, but a reaction design is feasible, leading to a higher efficiency.
A simple assumption of Cm = const. A large variation of spanwise swirl at rotor inlet A high level of flow diffusion on rotor hub A weak reaction on rotor hub

PRELIMINARY DESIGN – AT1DP
Three-stage Design

Each stage loading is 1.322, staying around the standard level, leading to even higher efficiencies, but the weight will increase.
Reduced variations of spanwise swirl Mitigated risks on rotor hub

Both stages show a high level of diffusion on the hub, from the zero exit-swirl requirement. A compromised design is needed among,
Reaction on the hub * Rotor inlet swirl Stage number * Rotor outlet swirl Overall efficiency

All stages show a good level of diffusion on rotor hub. Smaller flow turning on the tip. Best aero performance, but other factors will come in.

Both stages show good diffusion levels on the hub, thanks to rotor exit swirl Higher aero efficiency than Slide 10, but the exhaust diffuser has to embrace higher swirl.
Stage 1 Stage 2
MEANLINE DESIGN – AT1DP
Better prepared for meanline design with lessons learnt from preliminary

MEANLINE DESIGN – AT1DP
Two approaches of design, but the 2nd one will be a final design.

Compared to Slide 15 -16, there are some different design concepts between my program and NASA design. Next design steps will show which one would be better.
TURBINE MAP PREDICTION – AT1DP
Approximate turbine map prediction Based on design characteristics of non-dimensional performance parameters
In general, a good agreement with test, unlike compressors
More refined map will be later predicted by Meanline Analysis.
