Performance of Inward Radial Flow Turbines under Unsteady Flow Conditions with Full and Partial Admission

Abstract

The paper describes the most recent work to be completed in the unsteady flow investigation on radial flow turbines, earlier unsteady flow work for single entry casings having been reported in (1)†and (2), and steady flow work for very high pressure ratios and multiple admission in (3). The present paper combines these analyses to give a coherent treatment of single and multiple admission.
