Course Goals / Objectives:
Review the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and fluid flow for steam, air, and combustion gases, and demonstrate their applicability in the analysis of turbomachinery
Review compressible flow theory including flow through converging nozzles.
Students are to develop mastery on how to determine the various flow quantities when inlet and some exit conditions are given
Students are to develop mastery on how to determine the various flow quantities when inlet and some exit conditions are given
Students are to learn to use concepts of polytropic exponent and nozzle efficiency in solving nozzle flows with friction and to calculate supersaturated states and states across condensation shocks
Students are to be able to carry out calculations for impulse stages of turbines, including pressure and velocity compounding as well as reaction stages
Students are to learn the Euler equation for turbomachinery and the relationships between absolute and relative velocity for flow though stator and rotor passages
Students are to gain an intuitive understanding of the degree of reaction and how it relates to blade loading and to use principles of similitude
Students are to learn axial flow turbine and compressor theories to be able to design turbine and compressor stages, including the common ways to account for losses
Students are to learn the influence of three-dimensional effects on reaction and loading along the blades of an axial machine
Students are to learn the fundamentals of centrifugal compressors, including the concept of slip and influence of compressibility. They are to learn how a volute is designed.
The theory for the common types of hydraulic turbines are discussed and students will carry out exercises sufficient to master the methods to calculate the performance of these machines
The relationship between fluid couplings and torque converters to the radial pumps and turbines will be discussed, as well as how hydrodynamic losses influence their performance
Introduction to wind turbines is given. The students are to be able to write computer programs to calculate the performance of blades by both actuator disc theory and blade element theory
