1. Flow inside the Volute
In small radial turbines, the assembly commonly referred to as the “volute” accounts for approximately half of the energy loss, regardless of thermal losses. It is therefore necessary to be able to analyse the power dissipated by the fluid in this poorly understood part of the turbine. A kinematic study of the gas in the volute is essential to determine, with an acceptable approximation, the velocity components.
For example, Euler’s theorem (§ 4.2 of
