COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives

Knowledge of the flow processes within turbomachines has increased dramatically resulting in the appearance of new and innovative designs in fluid machinery. In this class, students will learn about the basic principles which govern the fluid flow inside the fluid machinery such as the momentum conservation and Bernoulli equation. They also learn the basic design guide of fluid machinery especially the turbo pump and fan.

Finally, they will design the practical flow system using this knowledge using the computer aided program.

MAIN TEXTBOOK and FURTHER READINGS

Main Text Book : Fundamentals of Turbomachinery by William W.Peng (Wiley Co.)

Readings : Fuid Mechanics and Termodynamics of Turbomachinery by Dixon and Eng (Pergamon Co.)

ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING

Assignments: Based on the exercise problems

Grading Scheme: The grade is based on the absolute points which the sutdents got from the homework, exam. and term project.

COURSE SCHEDULE

Course Outline

1. First, I will introduce the basic definition and concepts in the Fluid machinery.

2. Students will learn about the basic governing equations such as Bernoulli equation, momentum conservation equation.

3. Next, the design and working principle of pump, especially centrifugal pump will be introduced.

4. Following the pump, the design and working principle of fan will be introduced with the simple explanation of wing therory as an air machinery.

5. Finally, students will learn about the basic flow system including the head loss of various parts and the CFD program for designing the flow system.
