Why does efficiency decrease with RPM?
As the speed of an engine increases, the amount of air and fuel it can get into the cylinders each given revolution decreases, but the INCREASING number of revolutions increases total fuel and air delivery MORE than decreasing breathing efficiency reduces air and fuel flow PER REVOLUTION.
Why does turbine efficiency decrease?
The compressor efficiency decrease is due primarily to the effects of compressor fouling. Any reduction in the turbine efficiency is due to the decrease in the turbine non-dimensional speed resulting from the increase in the turbine entry temperatures, as observed in Fig. 18.15.
How do you increase the efficiency of a turbine?
Popular Answers (1)
- Increase the turbine inlet temperature provided the turbine materials can stand the temperature or one has access to replacement parts that can withstand the temperatures.
- Increase the pressure ratio.
- Power augmentation through steam injection.
Why does torque decrease as RPM increases?
At high RPM, torque drops off primarily from intake and exhaust flow restriction. Volumetric Efficiency declines because the engine can’t breathe any faster. Mechanical efficiency also declines at higher RPM, due to increased frictional resistance. This further reduces torque at the output.
Which turbine has more efficiency?
Large Francis turbines are individually designed for each site to operate with the given water flow and water head at the highest possible efficiency, typically over 90\% (to 99\%). In contrast to the Pelton turbine, the Francis turbine operates at its best completely filled with water at all times.
Why does torque decrease at low rpm?
Torque decreases after certain rpm, not only due to decreasing fuel air consumption(since engine gets less time to breath), but also due to gear variation . When the engine running at second gear it’s torque will be more, this is why we will drive vehicle at second gear during uphill driving.
