Academic Year 2006/2007

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Forli
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LS) in Mechanical Engineering (cod. 0230)

Learning outcomes

The course covers the main fluid-dynamics aspects related with turbomachinery design

Course contents

The course begins with the main aspects and definition of turbomachines. An overview of the considered types of turbomachines is given. Then, a description of thermo-fluid-dynamics aspects of single turbomachines is provided: axial compressors, axial turbines, radial turbomachines are examined. Finally, combustors for gas turbines are introduced.
