Basic Course
Courses in basic turbomachinery flows are intended to supplement limited exposure to these topics in most undergraduate engineering fluid mechanics courses. These courses are also intended to provide training in fundamentals for operations engineers and machinery engineers.
Objectives include:
Be conversant with terms such as velocity triangle, head, flow, efficiency, streamline.
Understand the basic governing equations.
Review and understand performance data and make qualitative decisions about a particular design.
Understand common performance problems such as surge, choke, and stall.
Be familiar with performance maps and similarity for a variety of machines.
Perform basic meanline design of pump, compressor, and turbine stages.
Advanced Course
Objectives include:
Audit the design of compressors, pumps, and turbines.
Troubleshoot complex performance problems.
Better understand the effects of multi-directional flows in pump, compressor, and turbine stages.
