Course Title:
Turbomachinery Design
Course Description:
Presents preliminary design methods and analytical tools applicable to turbomachinery. Discusses design criteria and performance characteristics at design and off-design operating conditions for several important types of turbomachinery. Studies axial flow compressors and turbines (gas and steam) including topics such as compressor surge, turbine blade cooling, and steam wetness effects. Also studies centrifugal compressors, radial inflow turbine, pumps, fans, and water turbines. Discusses turbomachinery mechanical design limitations. Examines the use of empirical data on blade cascade performance in blade selection. Presents numerical methods of analyzing two- and three-dimensional flows in turbomachinery (conformal transformation and streamline curvature). Two in-depth design projects are assigned.
