Abstract

This paper dedicates on the rotor dynamics behaviour research on the turbo-expander rotor system involving droplet impact. A stochastic model based on Beta distribution and Bernoulli distribution of droplet generation is established and the formulations of droplet impact forces are deduced, which is applied on the rotor dynamics equations of the tilting pad bearing supported turbo-expander considering the temperature gradient for a further analysis. A time domain research is carried out and a conclusion that continuously droplet impact will perturb the steady vibration of the turbo-expander rotor system is obtained. Monte Carlo method is implemented for a statistics dynamics research and the results suggests that in the design of expander impellers, in order to decrease the uncertainty brought by droplet impact, the number of channels should be as few as possible, the droplet impact should be controlled to occur uniformly, and the collision, entrainment of the primary droplets and the stripping of the liquid film on the blade should be strictly restrained.
