  2. Radial turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_turbine

    The difference between axial and radial turbines consists in the way the fluid flows through the components (compressor and turbine). Whereas for an axial turbine the rotor is 'impacted' by the fluid flow, for a radial turbine, the flow is smoothly oriented perpendicular to the rotation axis, and it drives the turbine in the same way water ...

  3. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

    A centrifugal pump is an example of a radial flow turbomachine. Mixed flow turbomachines – When axial and radial flow are both present and neither is negligible, the device is termed a mixed flow turbomachine. [9] It combines flow and force components of both radial and axial types. A Francis turbine is an example of a mixed-flow turbine.

  4. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    It is a no-load condition in a gas turbine, turbocharger or industrial axial compressor but overload in an industrial centrifugal compressor. [29] Hiereth et al. [30] shows a turbocharger compressor full-load, or maximum fuelling, curve runs up close to the surge line. A gas turbine compressor full-load line also runs close to the surge line.

  5. Velocity triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_triangle

    V f = flow velocity (axial component in case of axial machines, radial component in case of radial machines). The following angles are encountered during the analysis: α = absolute angle is an angle made by V with the plane of the machine (usually the nozzle angle or the guide blade angle) i.e. angle made by absolute velocity V and the ...

  6. Centrifugal compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_compressor

    The simplest inlet to a centrifugal compressor is typically a simple pipe. Depending upon its use/application inlets can be very complex. They may include other components such as an inlet throttle valve, a shrouded port, an annular duct (see Figure 1.1), a bifurcated duct, stationary guide vanes/airfoils used to straight or swirl flow (see Figure 1.1), movable guide vanes (used to vary pre ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_turbine

    The losses occur in an actual turbine due to disc and bearing friction. Figure shows the energy flow diagram for the impulse stage of an axial turbine. Numbers in brackets indicate the order of energy or loss corresponding to 100 units of isentropic work (h 01 – h 03ss). Energy flow diagram for the impulse stage of an axial turbine

  8. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    [28] [29] Some turbocharger designs are available with multiple turbine housing options, allowing a housing to be selected to best suit the engine's characteristics and the performance requirements. A turbocharger's performance is closely tied to its size, [30] and the relative sizes of the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel. Large turbines ...
