Experimental results of an ejector drive micro turbine generator
Abstract
This paper reports on the design, thermodynamic cycle, and experimental results of
an ejector driven micro turbine generator. For this cycle, an ejector, as opposed
to a compressor, creates a pressure gradient to drive a turbine. When connected to
a micro-generator and an ethanol vapor boiler, a power output of 7.5 mW is delivered
to a resistive load of 300 Ω at an angular velocity of 27,360 RPM.
