FORTRAN PROGRAM FOR PREDICTING OFF-DESIGN PERFORMANCE OF RADIAL-INFLOW TURBINES

摘要

The FORTRAN IV program uses a one-dimensional solution of flow conditions through the tur¬bine along the mean streamline. The program inputs needed are the design-point requirements and turbine geometry. The output includes performance and velocity-diagram parameters over a range of speed and pressure ratio. Computed performance is compared with the experimental data from two radial-inflow turbines and with the performance calculated by a previous com¬puter program. The flow equations, program listing, and input and output for a sample problem are given.
