 ABSTRACT

A Turbo compressor is a mechanical device designed to compress gases, typically air,

by utilizing a combination of centrifugal and axial flow principles. It consists of a rotor with
blades or impellers that accelerate and pressurize the incoming gas. The primary purpose of a
turbo compressor is to enhance the efficiency and performance of various industrial processes,
such as power generation, chemical production, and oil refining. By increasing the pressure of
the gas, turbo compressors play a crucial role in improving overall system efficiency and
facilitating the transportation of gases through pipelines. These devices are commonly
employed in applications where a continuous and reliable supply of compressed gases is
essential for optimal operational performance

In our static pressure analysis using SOLIDWORKS, we meticulously examine the

compressor impeller's structural integrity under various material scenarios. Employing finite
element analysis (FEA), we scrutinize the impeller's response to static pressure loads, allowing
us to identify potential points of failure, deformation, and stress concentrations. Through this
focused investigation, we aim to optimize the impeller's design for enhanced durability and
reliability, specifically tailored to the demands imposed by the GTR3071R turbocharger in
diesel engines. Our rigorous static pressure analysis serves as a foundation for recommending
the most suitable material for the compressor impeller, ensuring optimal performance and
longevity in real-world operating conditions.

We carefully examine static pressure factors like material fatigue and strength to fully
understand how the impeller performs over time. Our goal is to improve the impeller design,
making it strong and reliable in the dynamic conditions of a turbocharged diesel engine

1. INTRODUCTION

The Turbo compressor impeller, often referred to simply as the impeller, is a rotating
component that accelerates and compresses air or gas within the compressor housing. Its
primary function is to draw in atmospheric air or gas and impart kinetic energy to it, facilitating
compression and subsequent delivery to downstream processes. This process significantly
enhances the pressure and volumetric flow of the fluid, leading to improved combustion
efficiency in internal combustion engines or increased output in various industries

Maximum allowable turbocharger speed is 140krpm. The use of this product above max
turbocharger speed is at the owner’s risk, and can result in damage and premature failure. To
protect the turbocharger from overspeed when operating, a speed sensor can be installed into
the compressor housing to monitor shaft speed. Sensors sold separately.

Performance results of this product are highly dependent upon your vehicle’s modifications
and tuning/calibration. The horsepower numbers represented above are calculated based
strictly on choke flow of the compressor map (total turbo capability), which represents the
potential flywheel horsepower.

1.2 TYPES OF IMPELLERS:

1.2.1 Open Impeller:

The open or unshrouded impeller has blades that are not enclosed by a shroud,
allowing the fluid to flow freely through the impeller. This design is more
straightforward and is often used in applications where the fluid is clean and the
impeller does not need extra protection.

1.2.2 Closed Impeller:

The closed or shrouded impeller has blades that are fully enclosed by a shroud
or cover. This design increases the overall strength of the impeller and is often used in
applications where the fluid being handled contains solids.

3
 1.2.3 Semi Opened Impeller:

The semi-open impeller combines elements of both closed and open

impellers. It has a shroud on one side while the other side is open. This design provides
a compromise between the strength of closed impellers and the ability to handle some
solids like open impellers.

1.2.4 Axial Flow Impeller:

Axial flow impellers have blades that rotate around the axis of the turbocharger
shaft. The blades are designed to move air parallel to the shaft, providing a streamlined
and efficient airflow. Axial flow impellers are often used in heavy-duty turbochargers
for diesel engines.

1.2.5 Radial Flow Impeller:

Radial flow impellers, also known as centrifugal compressors, have blades that
radiate outward from the centre of the impeller. As the impeller rotates, air is drawn in
axially and then forced outward by the spinning blades, creating a radial flow pattern.
Centrifugal compressors are widely used in heavy-duty diesel engines.

1.3 ADVANTAGES OF TURBOCOMPRESSPER WHEEL:

1.3.1 Increased Engine Power:

The primary purpose of a Turbo Compressor wheel is to compress air before it

enters the engine cylinders. This compressed air allows more fuel to be burned, resulting
in increased power output from the engine.

1.3.2 Improved Fuel Efficiency:

By compressing air before combustion, TurboCompressor wheels contribute to

a more efficient fuel-air mixture in the engine. This improved combustion efficiency
can lead to better fuel economy, as more energy is extracted from the fuel.

4
 1.3.3 Enhanced Torque:

Turbochargers provide increased torque across a broader range of engine

speeds. This means that the engine can deliver more power and responsiveness,
especially at lower RPMs, improving overall performance.

1.3.4 Emission Reduction:

Turbochargers can contribute to lower emissions by allowing engines to burn

fuel more completely. The increased efficiency of combustion reduces the amount of
unburned fuel and pollutants released into the atmosphere.

1.3.5 Downsizing Potential:

Turbochargers enable downsizing of engines without sacrificing performance.

Smaller, turbocharged engines can achieve the power output of larger, naturally
aspirated engines while benefiting from reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency.

1.4 DISADVANTAGES OF TURBOCOMPRESSPER WHEEL:

1.4.1 Complexity and Cost:

Turbocharger systems are more complex than naturally aspirated systems,

which can lead to higher manufacturing costs and increased complexity in terms of
maintenance and repairs.

1.4.2 Turbo lag:

Turbo lag is the delay between the driver stepping on the accelerator and the
turbocharger delivering increased boost. In some cases, this lag can result in a
momentary lack of responsiveness, especially at low RPMs.

1.4.3 Heat Generation:

Turbochargers generate heat as a by-product of compressing air. Excessive heat

can lead to issues such as overheating, reduced engine efficiency, and potential damage
to engine components.

5
 1.4.4 Durability and Reliability:

The added stress of high-speed rotation and increased temperatures can affect
the durability and reliability of turbocharger components over time. Regular
maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity of the turbocharger system.

1.4.5 Oil Dependency:

Many turbochargers require a supply of oil for lubrication and cooling.

Inadequate lubrication or dirty oil can lead to premature wear and failure of the
turbocharger components.

2.1 INTRODUCTION TO SOLID WORKS

Figure 7 SolidWorks

2.2 History
Solid Works Corporation was founded in December 1993 by Massachusetts Institute of
Technology graduate Jon Hirschtick, Hirschtick used $1 million he had made while a member
of the MIT Blackjack Team to set up the company. Initially based in

7
Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, Hirschtick recruited a team of engineers with the goal of
building 3D CAD software that was easy-to-use, affordable, and available on the Windows
desktop. Operating later from Concord, Massachusetts, Solid Works released its first
product Solid Works 95, in 1995. In 1997 Dassault, best known for its CATIA CAD software,
acquired Solid Works for $310 million in stock.

Solid Works currently markets several versions of the Solid Works CAD software in
addition to eDrawings, a collaboration tool, and DraftSight, a 2D CAD product.

Solid Works was headed by John McEleney from 2001 to July 2007 and Jeff Ray from
2007 to January 2011. The current CEO is Gian Paolo Bassi from Jan 2015. Gian Paolo Bassi
replaces Bertrand Sicot, who is promoted Vice President Sales of Dassault Systems’ Value
Solutions sales channel

2.5 Introduction To Fem

Discretization or Idealization of an object is known as Finite Element Method. In simple
words, In FEM we are dividing object into countable no. of parts to check object into countable
no. of parts to check the results at desired position.

Example:

2.5.1 Line:

Figure 8 This line is divided into 3-line Elements and 4 nodes

2.5.2 Parallelogram:

Figure 9This parallelogram is divided into 42 square elements and 56 Nodes.

2.6 ADVANTAGES:

1. We can apply loads at any desired position i.e. at any node and at any element.

2. We can check results at any desired point or node on the object.

2.7 INTRODUCTION TO FEA:

Figure 10 INTRODUCTION TO FEA

Fig 18:

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was first developed in 1943 by R. Courant, who utilized the
Ritz method of numerical analysis and minimization of variational calculation to obtain
approximate solution to vibration systems. Shortly thereafter, a paper published in 1956 by M.J
Turner, R.W Claough, H.C Martin and L.J Topp, Established a broader definition of a numerical
analysis. The paper cantered on the “Stiffness and deflection of complex structures”.

By the earlier 70’s, FEA was limited to expensive mainframe Computers, generally
owned by Aeronautics, Automotive, Defence, and nuclear industries. Since the rapid decline in
the cost of the computers and the phenomenal increase in compute ring power, FEA have been
developed to an incredible precision. Present day super computers are now able to produce
accurate results for all kind of parameters.

FEA consists of a computer model of material or design i.e. stressed and analysed for
specific results. It is used in new product design and existing product refinement. Accompany
is able to verify a proposed design will be able to perform the client’s specification prior to the
manufacturing or construction. Modifying an existing product for structure is utilized to qualify
the product or structure for a new service condition. In case of structure failure FEA may be
used to help determine the design modifications to meet the new conditions.

There are generally two types of analysis that are used in Industry; 2-D Modelling and
3-D Modelling.

10
 While 2-D Modelling conserves simplicity and allows the analysis to be run on a
relatively normal computer, it tends to less accurate results. 3-D Modelling however produce
more accurate results while sacrificing the ability to run on all but the fastest computers
effectively. Within each of these modelling schemes the programmer can insert numerous
algorithms (functions) which may make the system behave linearly or non- linearly. Linear
systems are far less complex and generally do not take into account plastic deformations. Non-
linear systems do account for plastic deformations and May also are capable for testing a
material all the way to fracture.

FEA use a complex system of points called Node which make a grid called a mess. This
mess is programmed to contain the material and structural properties which define how the
structure will react to certain loading conditions. Node are assigned at ascertain density
throughout a material depending on the anticipated stress level of particular area. Regions
which will receive large amount of stress usually have higher node density then those which
Experience little or no stress. Points of interest may consist of; Fracture point of previously
tested material, fillets, corners, complex detail, a high stress area. The mesh acts like spider
web in that form each node. Them extends a mesh element to each of the adjacent nodes. This
web vectors are what carries the materials properties of object, creating many elements.

A wide range of objective functions (variables within the system) are available for
minimization and maximization.

1. Mass, Volume, Temperature

2. Strain energy, Stress –Strain

3. Force, Displacement, Velocity, acceleration

4. Synthetics (user defined)

Their multiple loading Conditions which may be applied to a system. Some examples are
shown

1. Point, pressure, thermal, gravity and centrifugal static loads.

2. Thermal loads from solution of heat transfer analysis

3. Enforce displacements

4. Heat flux and Convection

11
5. Point pressure and gravity, dynamic loads

Each FEA program may come with an element library or one is constructed over time. Some
sample examples are:

1. Road elements

2. Beam elements

3. Plate/ Shell/composite Elements

4. Shear panel

5. Solid elements

6. Spring elements

7. Mass elements

8. Rigid elements

9. Viscous damping elements

Many FEA program also equipped with the capability to use multiple materials within
the structure such as:

1. Isotropic, Identical throughout

2. Orthotropic, Identical at 90 degrees

3. General anisotropic, Different throughout

12
2.8 TYPE OF ENGINEERING ANALYSIS

2.8.1 STUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Stuctural analysis consists of linear and non-linear models. Linear models use simple
parameters and assume that material is not plastically deformed. Non- linear models consist of
stressing the materials past its elastic capacities. The stresses in material then vary with amount
of deformation as in.

2.8.2 VIBRATIONAL ANALYSIS

Vibrational analysis is used to test a material against random vibrations, shock and
impact. Each of these incidents may act on the natural vibrational frequency of material which
in turn may cause resonance and subsequent failure.

2.8.3 FATIGUE ANALYSIS

Fatigue analysis helps designers to predict the life of the materials or structure by
showing the effects of cyclic loading on the specimen. Such analysis can show the areas where
crack propagation is most likely occurred. Failure due to fatigue may also show the image
tolerance of the material.

2.8.4 HEAT TRANSFER

Heat Transfer analysis models the conductivity or thermal fluid dynamics of the
material or structure. This may consist of steady state or transient transfer. Steady state transfer
refers to constants thermo properties in the material that yield linear heat diffusion.

13
2.9 RESULTS OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
FEA has become a solution of task of predicting failure due to unknown stresses by
showing problem areas in a material and allowing designers to see all the theoretical stresses
within. This method of product design and testing is far superior to manufacturing cost which
would accrue if each sample was actually built and tested. In practice, a finite element analysis
usually consists of three principal stresses.

2.9.1 PREPROCESSING:

The user constructs a model of a part to be analysed in which the geometry is divided
into number of discrete sub region of element,” Connected at discrete point called
nodes”. Certain of these nodes will have fixed displacements, and other will have
prescribed loads. These models can be extremely time consuming to prepare, a
commercial code via with one another to have the most user friendly graphical “pre-
processor” to assist in this rather tedious chore. Some of these pre-processors can over
lay a mess on a pre-existing CAD file, so that finite element analysis can be done
conveniently as part of the computerized drafting-and-design process.

2.9.2 ANALYSIS:

The data set prepared by the pre-processor is used as an input to the finite element code
itself, which constructs and solves a system of linear or non-linear algebraic equations.

Where, u and f are displacements and extremely applied forces at the nodal points. One
of FEA’s principle advantages is that many problem types can be addressed with the
same code, merely by specifying the appropriate types from the library.

2.9.3 POSTPROCESSING:

In the earlier days of finite elements analysis, the user would pore through reuse of
numbers generated by the pore, Listing displacem1ents and stresses at discrete positions
within the model. It is easy to miss important trends and hot spots this way, and modern
codes used graphical displays to assist in visualization the results. A typical
postprocessor display overlays colored contours representing stress level on the model,
showing a fulfilled picture similar to that of photo elastic or moiré experimental results.

7. CONCLUSION

our investigation utilizing SOLIDWORKS software has provided a comprehensive

understanding of the GTR3071R turbocharger's compressor impeller performance across
diverse materials. The meticulous analysis, encompassing modeling, deformation
assessments, and static stress analyses with a pressure value of 9,000,000 N/m^2,
establishes a robust foundation for well-informed recommendations. This study not only
optimizes turbocharger efficiency but also contributes valuable insights for advancing
diesel engine technology. Our focused static pressure analysis, considering the specific
pressure value, has not only identified the optimal material for the compressor impeller
but also refined its design, ensuring durability and functionality in the demanding
conditions of turbocharged diesel engines.
