SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING EXHAUST ENERGY RECOVERY

A system includes a turbine with an expansion section configured to expand an exhaust flow in a downstream direction, such that the expansion section includes a plurality of stages and a diffuser section coupled downstream of the expansion section. The diffuser section receives the exhaust flow alon...

Zusammenfassung:	A system includes a turbine with an expansion section configured to expand an exhaust flow in a downstream direction, such that the expansion section includes a plurality of stages and a diffuser section coupled downstream of the expansion section. The diffuser section receives the exhaust flow along an exhaust path and an energizing flow along a wall, and the diffuser section includes the wall comprising an inner surface, so the wall is disposed about the exhaust path, and an energizing port disposed in the wall at or downstream of a last stage of the plurality of stages of the expansion section. The energizing port is configured to direct the energizing flow along the inner surface of the wall to energize a boundary layer along the wall, and a first pressure of the energizing flow is greater than a second pressure of the exhaust flow at the energizing port.
