This paper presents a detailed and objective review of regenerative flow turbomachines,
namely pumps, blowers and compressors. Several aspects of turbomachines like design …

Regenerative flow compressors or blowers are rotodynamic machines with the ability to
produce high head at low flow rates. This paper describes shape optimization of the aerofoil …

In this study, the performance characteristics of a regenerative flow turbine (RFT) prototype
have been investigated by means of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study. The …

Only few design guidelines for side channel compressors are published in open literature.
Among those the most common ones are from Grabow, Surek, and Raheel. In this …

Abstract Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are one of the most suitable technologies to
produce electricity from low-temperature sources. A comprehensive understanding of these …

Energy companies in the power generation field are continuously searching for green
technologies to reduce pollutant emissions. In that context, small hydropower plants …

Regenerative flow machines are known to be simple in construction but complex in flow
characteristics. Due to this reason, the design of these machines has been primarily …

Regenerative pumps, also referred to as “peripheral” or “side channel” pumps, are
characterized by a specific speed that contextualize them between rotary positive …

Regenerative pumps are characterized by a low specific speed that place them between
rotary positive displacement pumps and purely radial centrifugal pumps. They are …

The geometric dimensions of a compressor have great influence on the performance of the
machine. Regenerative compressors are a kind of turbomachine that have a found a wide …
