Turbomachines are defined as all those devices in which energy is transferred to or froma continuously flowing fluid by the dynamic action of one or more moving blade rows. Theword “turbo” or “turbinis” is of Latin origin and implies that which spins or w...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    Two main categories of turbomachines are identified: firstly, those absorb power toincrease the fluid pressure or head (fans, compressors, and pumps); secondly, those producepower by expanding fluid to a lower pressure or head (wind, hydraulic, steam, and...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    Turbomachines are further categorized according to the nature of the flow paths throughthe passages of the rotor. When the path of the through-flow is wholly or mainly parallel to theaxis of rotation, the device is termed an axial flow turbomachine [e.g.,...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    All turbomachines can be classified as either impulse or reaction machines according towhether pressure changes are absent or present in the flow through the rotor. In an impulsemachine all the pressure changes take place in one or more nozzles, the fluid...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    Hydraulic machine is a device in which mechanical energy is transferred from the liquidflowing through the machine to its operating member (runner, piston and others) or from theoperating member of the machine to the liquid flowing through it. Hydraulic m...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    The hydraulic turbine has a long period of development. Its oldest and simplest form isthe water wheel, which was firstly used in ancient Greece and subsequently adoptedthroughout medieval Europe for the grinding of grain, etc. It was a French engineer, B...[繼續(xù)閱讀]
