Gas Turbines Steam Turbines Centrifugal Pumps Centrifugal and Axial Ow Compressors Windmills Water Wheels Hydraulic Turbines

A turbo machine is a rotating device that transfers energy between a continuously flowing fluid and the rotating element, resulting in a change in pressure and momentum of the fluid. Turbo machines include turbines, which produce power from the fluid, as well as pumps and compressors, which impart energy to the fluid. Examples include gas turbines, steam turbines, centrifugal pumps, centrifugal and axial compressors, windmills, water wheels, and hydraulic turbines. Turbo machines are classified based on the path of the fluid through the rotor as either radial flow/centrifugal flow machines or axial flow machines.

A turbo machine is a device in which energy transfer occurs between a owing uid and a rotating element due to dynamic

action, and results in a change in pressure and momentum of the uid. Mechanical energy transfer occurs inside or outside of the turbo machine, in a steady-ow process. Turbo machines include all those machines that produce power: Such as turbines, As well as those types that produce a head or pressure, such as centrifugal pumps and compressors. The turbo machine extracts energy from or imparts energy to a continuously moving stream of uid. In a positive displacement machine (reciprocating device) it is intermittent. Example of turbo machine: Gas turbines Steam turbines Centrifugal pumps Centrifugal and axial ow compressors Windmills Water wheels Hydraulic turbines

Type of turbo machinery There are 2 type of turbomachinery: (i) (ii) work is done by the uid Work is done on the uid.

Axial flow turbo machine These are turbo machines in which fluids moves through the rotating member in axial direction with no radial movement of the streamlines Turbo machines in which uid moves through the rotating member in axial direction with no radial movement of the streamlines. Such machines are called axial ow machines whereas if the ow is

Radial flow or Centrifugal flow machine It is the same as axial flow machine but instead the flow is essentially radial

The main element in a turbo machine is a rotor (runner carrying blades or vanes) Secondly, the path of the fluid in the rotor of the machine. The path may be: Substantially axial Substantially radial Combination of both Turbo machines can further be classied as follow:

Turbo machine turbines Pumps Fans Compressor

Turbines: Machines that produce power by expansion of a Continuously owing uid to a lower pressure or head. Pumps: Machines that increase the pressure or head of owing uid. Fans: Machines that impart only a small pressure-rise to a Continuously owing gas (incompressible gas). Compressors: Machines that impart kinetic energy to a gas by compressing it and then allowing it to rapidly expand. Pictures of turbo machines are shown below: Radial flow fan rotor
