Fluid Machinery - BMEGEVGBX01
The aim of the course is to give an overview of pumps, compressors, fans and turbines, both in terms of the underlying physical principles and the theoretical understanding of the engineering applications. The course focuses on the mathematical description of the operation of turbomachines (centrifugal pump, compressor, and fan) using the Euler turbine equation and provides insight into the application of the usual dimensionless quantities (flow number, pressure number, specific speed, specific diameter) and affinity laws. Cavitation, serial and parallel connection of pipes and pumps, and simple pipeline systems are also addressed. The noise level of the fans, the power curves of the axial, radial and mixed turbine motors and the basic types and uses of water and wind turbines are explained. Basics of positive displacement pumps and motors along with typical applications, description of multi-stage reciprocating compressors are also covered.
