The effect of the design angle of the turbine nozzle outlet of the piston engine boost system on its effectiveness

The article is devoted to the actual problem of insufficient energy efficiency of combined internal combustion engines. One of the directions of its solution, which became the goal of this work, is a reasonable choice of the optimal value of the design angle of installation of nozzles in a radial-axial turbine, taking into account both its effective power and the coefficient of completeness of using the supplied pulse energy. The authors applied a closed-loop model of the combined engine, embedded in a new calculation method, which was divided into conditional blocks. In the first block, the method of indefinite Lagrange multipliers calculates the optimal values of the turbine elements in which the gas moves. In the second block, for a preliminary assessment of the calculated geometrical parameters of the flow path, the turbine characteristics are calculated: an assumption is made about the one-dimensionality and quasi-stationary flow. For calculations, a method for calculating the parameters of a stage at an average radius was used, supplemented by a semi-empirical method for calculating gas energy losses during the movement of the latter from the turbine inlet to the outlet section. In the third block, the efficiency of the turbine was estimated when working together with a piston engine by using a closed model for it. This made it possible to objectively evaluate such characteristics of the turbine as efficiency and power, which are functionally related to the pressure pulse in the exhaust tract, which will make it possible to predict the operational characteristics of the turbine operating in conjunction with the combined engine.
