Aim
Turbomachines hold a central position in power engineering. The course aims at providing an understanding of the machines principles, construction and control. Further the course should give an understanding of thermo and fluid dynamic processes occurring in the interaction between the machine and the working media. The course should also give an understanding of the simpler design methods and, at a more superficial level, the more complicated.
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- Have an overview of different machines, their working principles and applications within power engineering
- Be familiar with the machines performance and methods of control
- Know the simpler and be familiar with the more advanced design methods
Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must
- Be capable of sizing turbomaskines in different applications and systems including influences of different operating conditions
- Be able to estimate performance from velocity triangles and energy balances
- Be able to describe a machines performance and efficiency in a way suitable for system analyses
Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
- Be capable of evaluating and judge different choices of machines in a system
Contents
Fundamental analyses for both compressible and incompressible working media
Losses and efficiencies
Methods for design
Industrial applications
