| Abstract | This report presents the results of continued tests made on a second low-pressure model of a tip turbine volute duct having an axial discharge; this volute is different from the previous model in passage size and re-entry arrangement.
The over-all pressure loss, including the discharge nozzles, was measured and found to be 22 percent of the total gauge pressure in the supply duct. The tests indicated that 8. 9 percent was lost in the volute duct, representing 26. 7 percent of the dynamic head.
The static pressure along the inner and outer duct walls suggested that a free vortex velocity distribution existed in the duct and that the loss of static pressure was similar to that occurring along the walls of a straight pipe. |
