About
About the course
Course content
Machine types. Mechanical construction. Classification. Euler Energy Equation. Flow conditions in stationary cascades. Flow conditions and performance in the runner. Axial forces and torque. Rating and analysis of different turbo machinery, included main dimensions, dimensioning of the runner, vane shape. Real compression- and expansion analyses. Multiphase flow regimes. Loss mechanism. Multiphase pumps and turbines. Wet gas compressors. Gas turbine process. Pollution and influence. Operating conditions and system analysis.
Learning outcome
The course gives an introduction designing and dimensioning pumps, compressors, water-, steam- and gas turbines. The course includes flow conditions and blade design in radial- and axial machines and effects related to cavitation, pressure pulsations, un stabilities, multiphase, surge and chocking. An introduction to multiphase machines like multiphase compressors and wet gas compressors will be lectured.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and tutorials. Laboratory tutorial. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
