Modelling phase change in a novel turbo expander for application to heat pumps and refrigeration cycles

A novel turbo expander based on the Tesla turbine is proposed to be applied to a heat pump or refrigeration cycle to improve the overall cycle efficiency. Initial numerical modelling of this turbo expander at representative conditions was carried out using the homogeneous relaxation model (HRM) to a...
