WHAT IS TURBOMACHINE?

WHAT IS TURBOMACHINE?
Any devices that extracts energy from or imparts energy to a continuously moving stream of fluid (liquid or gas) can be called a turbomachine
. The Examples of turbomachine: windmills, waterwheels, ship propeller, hydraulic and gas turbines, pump and compressor.

The work principle of turbomachine: the energy transfer being carried out by the action of one or more rotating blade rows. The dynamic action of rotating blades sets up forces between the blades and fluid while the components of these forces in the direction of blade motion give rise to the energy transfer between the blades and fluid.

The type of turbomachines fall into 2 categories depending on:

whether work is done by the fluid on the rotating member
or
whether work is done by the rotating member on the fluid

Work is done by fluid, examples:
Axial flow hydraulic turbine
Radial flow hydraulic turbine
Mixed flow hydraulic turbine
Axial flow gas turbine
Pelton wheel hydraulic turbine

Work is done on fluid, examples:
Axial flow pump
Centrifugal pump
Axial flow compressor
Centrifugal compressor
Radial flow fan

The type of turbomachines can also be defined as
the manner of fluid movement through the rotating member
If the flow is essentially axial with no radial movement of the streamlines then the machine is called an axial flow machine.
If the flow is radial, the machine is classed as a radial flow centrifugal machine

As a student in Chemical Engineering, thre is a fine article ,particularly in GASIFICATION. Address website is htt://www.majrikanayakan.com. That article was IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle especially in Coal Gasification )There are 2 section article was explained clearly, it was part 1 and part 2. The author was Ratih Asthary has been paosted in 9 th June 2008. Maybay You can read verywell and clearly in Chemical Engineering theories.

Howdy superb blog! Does running a blog like this require a
massive amount work? I have very little expertise in computer programming but I
had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic however I just had to ask.
Thanks!
