Fluid–Structure Interaction for Biomimetic Design of an Innovative Lightweight Turboexpander

Fluid–Structure Interaction for Biomimetic Design of an Innovative Lightweight Turboexpander

Inspired by bird feather structures that enable the resistance of powerful aerodynamic forces in addition to their lower weight to provide stable flight, a biomimetic composite turbine blade was proposed for a low-temperature organic Rankine cycle (ORC) turboexpander that is capable of producing low...
