Abstract

A mixed flow turbine is a type of turbine that is used mostly in turbocharger engine for vehicle. The ability of this turbine in obtain maximum efficiency on a wider operating range makes it more favorable compared to axial turbine and radial turbine. In this project, one of the factors affecting turbine performance which is torque has been studied using simulation. The simulation is then being run by varying the mass flow supply to the turbine. In this simulation, torque generation has been identified and plot on the entire blade surface. This torque generation capability is then been compared between 0.25 kg/s, 0.45 kg/s and 0.65 kg/s mass flow. From the simulation, the torque generated is founded to fluctuate along the turbine blade surface. Besides, the torque generated at the leading edge and trailing edge surface are negative. The magnitude of torque generated increases, as the mass flow increased. At the mid span of the blade, torque generated at 0.25 kg/s, 0.45 kg/s and 0.65 kg/s is -3.73 × 10-3Nm, 4.33 × 10-3Nm, and 11.8 × 10-3Nm respectively.
