Bayesian Optimization Design of Inlet Volute for Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Radial-Flow Turbine

The radial-flow turbine, a key component of the supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Brayton cycle, has a significant impact on the cycle efficiency. The inlet volute is an important flow component that introduces working fluid into the centripetal turbine. In-depth research on it will help improve the performance of the turbine and the entire cycle. This article aims to improve the volute flow capacity by optimizing the cross-sectional geometry of the...
