Abstract
In the paper the results of an experimental investigation developed on a small turbocharger turbine for automotive application are presented, including the effect of the waste-gate valve opening. The study was focused on the evaluation of turbine efficiency, especially under unsteady flow conditions typically occurring in automotive turbocharged engines. Turbine efficiency values measured under steady and pulsating flow conditions are compared, also considering a quasi-steady flow approach.
Research highlights► Turbocharged automotive engine. ► Experimental. ► Turbine efficiency. ► Steady and unsteady flow. ► Waste-gate valve.
