About Us
• The Study Group on Energy Conversion Technologies – GETEC
of Federal University of Itajubá – UNIFEI, was created in 2009.
• In the area of energy conversion, GETEC has experience in
analysis and simulation of gas turbine cycles and CFD
simulations of compressors, turbines, combustion chambers and
compact heat exchangers recuperators, as well as laboratory
experiments.
• GETEC offers training courses in gas turbines engine, centrifugal
and reciprocating compressors, internal combustion engines,
among others.

Objective
This work presents the numerical meanline investigationson the aerothermodynamic design of the nozzle and theradial-inflow rotor for a 600 kW simple cycle gas turbineengine using a One-dimensional computer FORTRANCode (OFC), for the design and analysis of radial-inflowturbine components.

Conclusions
• The OFC method for radial turbines design has been developed,
being capable of predicting the efficiency of most “well designed”
radial turbines with good accuracy. No knowledge of the turbine
geometry beyond basic overall dimensions is required, therefore, the
method regarded suitable for preliminary design.
• The most differences were found when comparing the OFC method
results and the NASA TN D-8164 showing discrepancies lower than
10% between the values calculated by each computer program and
when comparing the OFC method and the ANSYS CFX 12.0
simulations results, with discrepancies lower than 13% between the
values calculated for each simulations program.
