The performance of an impeller of a low-speed radial-inflow turbine, designed using a three-dimensional inverse technique, was evaluated experimentally. This performance was compared with that achieved by a rotor typical of the present technology. Besides measuring overall quantities, in special efficiency, some traverses of flow velocity were carried out. The results of the tests showed that the new design had a peak total-to-static efficiency 1.4 points better than the conventional build. The traverses indicated that the level of swirl at exhaust of the new impeller was only half as big as that for the conventional rotor, in spite of the fact that both impellers were designed to have zero swirl at outlet. It is also shown that the rotor loss for the new impeller is considerably lower than for the conventional wheel. This research points to the desirability of using a three-dimensional inverse method for the design of turbomachines with significant three-dimensional flows.

The performance of an impeller of a low-speed radial-inflow turbine, designed using a three-dimensional inverse technique was evaluated experimentally. This performance was compared with that achieved by a rotor typical of the present technology.

There are surprisingly few inverse methods described in the literature that are truly three dimensional. Here, one such method is presented. This technique uses as input a prescribed distribution of the mean swirl, i.e., radius times mean tangential velocity, given throughout the meridional section of the machine. In the present implementation the flow is considered inviscid and incompressible and is assumed irrotational at the inlet to the blade row. In order to evaluate the velocity field inside the turbomachine, the blades (supposed infinitely thin) are replaced by sheets of vorticity, whose strength is related to the specified mean swirl. Some advice on the choice of a suitable mean swirl distribution is given. In order to assess the usefulness of the present procedure, it was decided to apply it to the design of an impeller for a low-speed radial-inflow turbine. The results of the tests are described in the second part of this paper.

The results of an experimental study of the three-dimensional flow field in a radial inflow turbine scroll are presented. A two-color LDV system was used in the measurement of three orthogonal velocity components at 758 points located throughout the scroll and the unvaned portion of the nozzle. The cold flow experimental results are presented for through-flow velocity contours and the cross velocity vectors.

The practical utility of a three-dimensional inverse viscous method is demonstrated by carrying out a design modification of a first-stage rotor in an industrial compressor. In this design modification study, the goal is to improve the efficiency of the original blade while retaining its overall aerodynamic, structural, and manufacturing characteristics. By employing a simple modification to the blade pressure loading distribution (which is the prescribed flow quantity in this inverse method), the modified blade geometry is predicted to perform better than the original design over a wide range of operating points, including an improvement in choke margin.

This paper is concerned with the design of a high speed, 5 inch diameter radial-inflow turbine for medium-sized diesel engine turbocharger applications. The turbine was designed by a newly developed fully three dimensional compressible inverse design method, in which the blade shapes are computed for a specified distribution of rV¯θ. The designed blades had non-radial blade filaments and therefore the impeller was carefully analysed for its structural integrity. This was achieved by the iterative use of a three dimensional structural and vibration analysis program and the design method. The impeller was made by a casting process. The performance of the new impeller was measured and then compared with three other impellers, one conventional and two experimental. The new impeller performed substantially better than all the baseline turbines and showed a 5.5% improvement in the total-to-static efficiency over the conventional turbine, 2.5% of which was attributable to the aerodynamically superior blade shape computed by the three dimensional inverse design method. The improvement in efficiency was not just confined to the design point and an appreciable improvement could be observed at off-design conditions.

The relation between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation was analyzed, with authoritarianism measured using a three-dimensional scale. The implicit multidimensional structure (authoritarian submission, conventionalism, authoritarian aggression) of Altemeyer’s (1981, 1988) conceptualization of authoritarianism is inconsistent with its one-dimensional methodological operationalization. The dimensionality of authoritarianism was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 713 university students. As hypothesized, the three-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. Regression analyses revealed that only authoritarian aggression was related to social dominance orientation. That is, only intolerance of deviance was related to high social dominance, whereas submissiveness was not.

Meanwhile, owing to the large pore size (11.4 Å) and suitable intermolecular distance of aligned TPE (7.2 Å) in JUC-555, the obtained material demonstrates an excellent performance in the molecular recognition of hazardous chemicals, e.g., nitroaromatic explosives, PAHs, and even thiophene compounds, via a fluorescent quenching mechanism. The quenching constant (<i>K</i><sub>SV</sub>) is two orders of magnitude better than those of other fluorescence-based porous materials reported to date. This research thus opens 3D functionalized COFs as a promising identification tool for environmentally hazardous substances.</p>

A novel Injection-rolling Nozzle (IRN) in an imprint system with continuous injection direct rolling (CIDR) for ultra-thin microstructure polymer guide light plates was developed to achieve uniform flow velocity and temperature at the width direction of the cavity exit. A novel IRN cavity was designed. There are eight of feature parameters of cavity were optimized by orthogonal experiments and numerical simulation. Results show that the flow velocity at the width direction of the IRN outlet can reach uniformity, which is far better than that of traditional cavity. The smallest flow velocity difference and temperature difference was 0.6 mm/s and 0.24 K, respectively. The superior performance of the IRN was verified through a CIDR experiment. Several 0.35-mm thick, 340-mm wide, and 10-m long microstructural Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) guide light plates were manufactured. The average filling rates of the microgrooves with the aspect ratio 1:3 reached above 93%. The average light transmittance is 88%.
