Appl. Sci. 2020, 10, 5069 15 of 20 design which gave confidence in the methodology. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of the degree of reaction, flow coefficient and loading coefficient on the performance and the feasibility of the proposed design. The designs were assessed at three rotational speeds, namely 150, 200 and 250 kRPM, with specific speed ranging between 0.23 to 0.39 rad. It is found that feasible designs could be obtained, considering the minimum allowable inlet blade height and mean diameter, at a low flow coefficient (in the range of 0.2), a high loading coefficient (>2.8), and a low degree of reaction at a rotational speed of 150 kRPM. Additionally, low degree of reaction results in higher efficiencies owing to the high rotor inlet blade angles. High aspect ratios were found to result in high efficiencies and high stresses, and hence the selection of the optimum aspect ratio is a trade-off between the high efficiency and low stresses. This work has demonstrated the suitability of Soderberg’s and Ainley and Mathieson’s models loss correlations to investigate the design of a single-stage axial turbine for sCO2 applications. It has also provided important insights into the trade-offs between aerodynamic and mechanical design that should be considered at this scale. However, the next necessary steps would be to conduct a more detailed structural analysis, alongside extending the mean-line model to include more sophisticated loss models, and conducting 3D CFD simulations to further validate the model.
