Modelling the Condensation Phenomena within the Radial Turbine of a Fuel Cell Turbocharger

Radial turbines used in automotive fuel cell turbochargers operate with humid air. The gas expansion in the turbine causes droplets to form, which then grow through condensation. The associated release of latent heat and decrease in the gaseous mass flow strongly influence the thermodynamics of the...
