The fan with a cycloidal rotor belongs to the positive displacement machines of the rotary type. The numerical algorithm for simulation of the flow in the cycloidal rotor as well as postprocessing of the CFD results was prepared using Ansys CFX CEL. The methodology for the assessment of the CRF performance was proposed and verified. It was found out that the CRF performance strongly depends on the shape of the profile of the applied rotor blade. The NACA 0012 and CLARK Y profiles were tested for the same CRF structure and flow conditions. Also, the crucial importance for the CRF performance has the range of the blade pitch angle change.展开更多

Therefore, there is a need for a continuous search for methods of improving the electricity generation efficiency in steam power plants. One technology which is especially promising is the advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) power unit. Apart from steam parameters upstream the turbine, the overall efficiency also depends on the efficiency values of individual elements of the plant and the size of energy consumption of the process of CO2 sequestration from the boiler flue gases. These problems are considered herein to emphasize that without specifying the efficiency values of the power plant main elements the information concerning its electricity generation efficiency is incomplete. This paper presents the influence of the efficiency of individual elements of the power plant on its electricity generation efficiency. The lack of information of the efficiencies of the power plant individual elements, by presenting its overall efficiency, may lead to the false conclusions.展开更多
