Experimental Study of Cross-flow Micro-turbines for Aqueduct Energy Recovery
2014
An important component of the management cost of aqueducts is given by the energy costs. Part of these costs can be recovered by transforming some of the many existing energy dissipations in electric energy by means of economic turbines. In this study an experimental work has been carried out: 1) to test the performance of an economic Cross-Flow turbine which maintains high efficiency within a large range of water discharges, and 2) to validate a new approximated formula relating main inlet velocity to inlet pressure. It is proved that the proposed formula, according to some simplifying assumption, exactly links inlet velocity to inlet pressure according to any possible geometry of the Cros…
Detection of a structural impact in liquid metal flow during test runs of the EURISOL target mock-up
2009
Abstract The many possible applications of Liquid Metal (LM) technology promise improved thermal efficiency, which can provide much-needed impetus to finding solutions for the growing world energy needs, as well as increasing the accuracy and power of certain delicate scientific apparatus used in the materials and biological sciences. The development of appropriate safeguards and instrumentation is critical to continued progress in this area of technology. During the hydraulic test of the EURISOL liquid metal target, a component failure was registered by the instrumentation; its detection in the presence of liquid metal flow was critical to ensuring the safety of both the personnel and the …
