Learning outcomes |
The Turbomachinery course aims to provide a detailed understanding of the fundamental principles and applications in energy generation and conversion machinery. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of the operation, performance and design of turbomachinery, including turbines, compressors and pumps. In addition, they will learn to apply these concepts in performance analysis and practical engineering scenarios, using computational tools and experimental methods.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the operating principles of turbines, pumps and compressors, including axial and radial turbomachinery.
- Carry out performance and efficiency analyses on a variety of turbomachines.
- Identify the mechanisms that contribute to performance degradation.
- Apply computer simulation techniques to model and analyze the behavior and develop basic turbomachinery designs,

Syllabus |
This course provides a detailed introduction to the operation, performance and design of turbomachinery, covering fundamental topics in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. The content is organized into five main chapters:
1. Introduction to Turbomachinery: components, classification and types of turbomachinery.
2. Fluid Mechanics in Turbomachinery: Fundamental laws, Euler's equation, velocity triangle, efficiency.
3. Axial turbines: Force analysis, velocity triangle, turbine and compressor stages, losses and efficiency.
4.4Dimensnal Analysis of Turbomachines: Buckingham p theorem, Dimensional Analysis for incompressible flow, Performance Characteristics and operating curves, Specific speed and specific diameter and Cordier diagram
5.Radial turbomachinery: Thermodynamic analysis, impeller blade shape, performance curve and slip factors.
6.CFD analysis of turbomachinery: geometric design of the rotor, mesh generation and numerical simulation.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Grading is based on:
A = a final project (50%)
B = homework (10%)
C = Frequency test (40%)
To pass, students must obtain at least 10 points in each component (A, B, and C). To be eligible for the exam, students must obtain at least 7 points on the frequency test. The exam will account for 40% of the final grade.
Question hours: Mondays, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM.
