Turbomachinery

Description

Turbomachinery hold a central role in power production. The course aims at providing an understanding of the turbomachines principles and design methods. Furthermore, the thermo- fluid interaction between the turbomachine parts and the working media will be analysed in great detail. The simple and effective design methods will be taught and an overview of the more advanced techniques will be given. Knowledge and understanding For a passing grade the student must Have a sound knowlede of the working principles of different types of turbomachinery and their application within power production Be familiar with the turbomachines performance and various loss sources Competences and skills For a passing grade the student must Capable of formulating simple and effective turbomachine designs for various applications Being capable to estimate the performance of turbomachine from velocity triangles and energy balances Judgement and approach For a passing grade the student must be able to analyze different types of turbomachines designed for various applications be able to suggest a simple design for a specific application Fundamental analyses for turbomachines working with both compressible and incompressible media Losses and efficiencies Effective Methods for design Industrial applications, especially gas turbines LTH programme course for Engineering Physics.
