TURBO-MACHINERY
(CSE- 802)
Course Objectives:
The course aims at giving an overview of different types of turbomachinery used for energy
transformation, such as pumps, fans, compressors, as well as hydraulic, steam and gas-turbines. It
will focus on applications in power generation, transport, refrigeration and the built environment.
Outcomes:
After completing the course the student will be able to:
1
Give examples of the main applications of turbomachines
2
Recognize typical designs of turbomachines
3
Explain the working principles of turbomachines and apply it to various types of
machines
4
Determine the velocity triangles in turbomachinery stages operating at design and
off-design conditions
5
Apply the affinity laws to pumps such as to determine their off-design behavior
6
Match a pump to a system and discuss various solutions of pump matching from a
sustainability point-of-view
7
Explain the working principle of various types of hydro turbines and know their
application range
8
Perform the preliminary design of turbomachines (pumps, compressors, turbines)
on a 1-D basis
9
Use design parameters for characterizing turbomachinery stages
10
Determine the off-design behavior of turbines and compressors and relate it to
changes in the velocity triangles
11
Explain and understand how the flow varies downstream of a turbomachinery
blade row
12
Recognize relations between choices made early in the turbomachinery design
process and the final components and operability
13
Explain the limits of safe operation of compressors
14
Recognize and discuss todays and tomorrows use of turbomachines for enabling
a sustainable society
