Axial Turbine
· The kinetic energy of combustion gas is converted to mechanical power by the its impulse or reaction with a series of blades arranged around the circumference of a wheel or…
Turbocharger
A turbocharger is an exhaust gas driven compressor used to increase the power output of an internal combustion engine by compressing air that is entering the engine, thus increasing the…
Radial Turbine
· Flow enters the impeller radially and exits axially. These machines are termed as inward flow turbines. · A radial turbine stage consists of volute, nozzle guide vanes and impeller. · High pressure…
Centrifugal Compressor
· The flow enters a three-dimensional impeller axially through an inlet duct. The impeller may be preceded by a row of inlet guide vanes. · The impeller through its blades imparts velocity…
Ducted Fan
· A ducted fan is a propulsion arrangement, whereby a propeller is mounted within a cylindrical shroud or duct. · The duct prevents losses in thrust from the tips of the propeller…
Propellers
· A propeller is a device which transmits power by converting it into thrust for propulsion of a vehicle though a fluid by rotating two or more twisted blades about a…

Introduction to Turbomachinery
Turbomachinery, in mechanical engineering, describes machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid, including both turbines and compressors. While a turbine transfers energy from a fluid to a rotor, a compressor transfers energy from a rotor to a fluid.…
