Classification of Compressors
Positive displacement compressors increase the pressure of a gas or air byreducing the volume.
Dynamic compressors increase the air velocity by the rotational motion of impelleror rotor, which is then converted to pressure at the outlet.

Radial Compressors
Principle of operation
When the impeller is rotating at high speed (more than 20000 rpm), air is drawn inthrough the eye of the impeller. The absolute velocity of the inflow air is axial. Themagnitude and direction of relative velocity at inlet depends upon the velocity of theimpeller as well as the magnitude and direction of the entering absolute velocity. Theimpeller vanes at the eye are bent so as to provide shockless entry (inducer). The airthen flows radially through the impeller passages due to centrifugal force. The total
mechanical energy driving the compressor is transmitted to the fluid stream in theimpeller where it is converted into kinetic energy of air. The diffuser then converts the
kinetic energy of air into pressure.The air leaving the diffuser iscollected in a spiral passage fromwhich it is discharged from the
compressor.
The pressure and velocity variationacross the compressor is as shownin the figure.

at the inletFigure (a) represents the velocity trianglewhen the air enters the impeller in the axialdirection. In this case, C1 = Ca1. Figure (b)represents the velocity triangle at the inlet tothe impeller eye and air enters through theinlet guide vanes. Angle is made by C1 andCa1 and this angle is known as the angle ofprewhirl. The absolute velocity C1 has a whirlcomponent Cw1.
at the outlet
In ideal case, as shown in Figure (c), airleaves the impeller tip at an angle of 900.Hence, Cw2 = U2. But in actual case due to slipbetween the impeller and the fluid, Cw1 issomewhat less than U2 as shown in Figure(d).

Energy Transfer (Pt)
In a real fluid, some of the power supplied by the impeller is used in overcominglosses that have a breaking effect on the air carried by the vanes. These includewindage, disk friction, and casing friction losses. To take into account these losses, apower input factor () , which is the ratio of the actual to theoretical energy transfer, isintroduced. This factor typically takes values between 1.035 and 1.04. Thus the actual
work done on the air becomes,
From Mollier Chart, the stagnation or totaltemperature equivalent of work done on
the air is given by,

Radial Compressors
Effect of impeller blade shape on performance
In the case of backward-curved blades or vanes, the maximum efficiency occurs in theregion of maximum power. If the flow rate increases beyond the design point, thepower starts to decrease. This keeps the motor to operate safely and thischaracteristics is called self-limiting characteristics. Whereas in the case of radialand forward-curved blades or vanes, as the flow rate increases the power also tend toincrease even beyond the design point. This is not only make the operation costly but
also damage the motor. But, designers may sometimes prefer these two types ofshapes to get some performance advantage as compared to backward-curved blades.
Compressibility effects
If the relative velocity of a compressible fluid reachesthe speed of sound in the fluid, separation of flow
causes excessive pressure losses and cyclic loading onthe impeller due to eddy or shock wave formation. It is,therefore, necessary to control the Mach number at acertain points in the flow to mitigate the problem. TheMach number at the impeller inlet must be less thanunity. This is possible by reducing the relative velocity at
inlet by introducing a guide vane as shown in the figure.inlet

Compressibility effects
Actually, reducing the relative velocity at inlet causes the tangential velocity of theabsolute velocity to increase. This in turn decreases the work capacity of thecompressor.
Mach number in the diffuserThe absolute velocity of the fluid becomes a maximum at the tip of the impeller.Assuming a perfect gas, the Mach number at the impeller exit M
2
can be written as:
However, it has been found that as long as the radial velocity component (Cr2) issubsonic, Mach number greater than unity can be used at the impeller tip without loss
of efficiency.High Mach number at the inlet causes high stagnation pressure. This leads to avariation of static pressure and is transmitted upstream in a radial direction throughthe vaneless space. The end result will be exerting a cyclic type of load on theimpeller. This in turn lead to early fatigue and failure on the impeller.

Radial Compressors
Characteristics of a Radial Compressor
The performance of compressible flow machines usually be described in terms of thegroups of variables derived in dimensional analysis ( Refer:- Rference-1 on Page 62).These variables are dependent on other variables such as the condition of pressureand temperature at the compressor inlet and physical properties of working fluid. Tostudy the performance of a compressor completely, it is necessary to plotagainst the mass flow parameter for a fixed speed intervals of .
The figure below shows the theoretical characteristics of a Centrifugal Compressor.
Consider a valve is placed in the delivery lineof a compressor running at constant speed.Suppose at the beginning the valve is fully
closed. The pressure ratio then will havesome value as indicated by point A. Thispressure ratio is available from vanes movingthe air about in the impeller. The pressurehead so developed is called shutoff head.

Characteristics of a Radial Compressor
Now, suppose that the valve is opened andair flow begins. The diffuser contributes to thepressure rise. The pressure ratio increasesand the maximum pressure occurs at point B.But the compressor efficiency at thispressure ratio will be below the maximum
efficiency. Point C indicates the furtherincrease in mass flow, but the pressure isdropped slightly from the maximum possiblevalue. This is the design mass flow ratepressure ratio as efficiency is maximum.
Further increase in mass flow will decrease the pressure ratio until point D. Thispoint indicates that the pressure rise is zero. At this point all the power absorbed isused to overcome the internal friction and thus the compression efficiency is zero.However, the actual curve is different from this ideal curve shown in the figure dueto chocking, surging and stall.

Characteristics of a Radial Compressor
Choking:- When the velocity of fluid in a passage reaches the speed of sound atany cross-section, then the air ceases to flow and the process is called chocking.Choking may occur at the inlet, at the impeller or at the diffuser.
Surging:- The phenomenon of a momentary increase in the delivery pressureresulting in unsteady, periodic and reversal flow through the compressor is called
surging. Surging may lead to failure of the compressor parts.
Stall:- The phenomenon of a reduction in mass flow rate through the blade passageat higher angle of incidence is known as stall. This phenomenon may lead tosurging.

Radial Compressors
Energy transfer by the impeller to the fluid (air)
A radial compressor is a dynamic type compressor and it works on the principle offorced vortex flow ( Refer:- Fluid mechanics ). When a certain mass of fluid is rotatedby an external torque, the rise in pressure head of liquid takes place. The rise inpressure head ( Hp ) at any point of the rotating liquid is proportional to the square oftangential velocity ( v) of the liquid at that point.

Thus at the outlet of the impeller where
radius is more, the rise in pressure is moreand the liquid will be discharged at theoutlet with a high pressure head.

In case of radial (centrifugal) compressors, work is done by the impeller on thefluid (air). The expression for work done by the impeller on the air is obtainedby drawing velocity triangle at inlet and outlet of the impeller in a similar way asfor a centrifugal pump.

Ideal Head Equation
The equation which forms the basis of pump, compressor and blower design isbased on the following assumptions: The fluid leaves the impeller passages tangentially to the vane surfaces or
there is a complete guidance of the fluid at the outlet and the fluid is
assumed to be frictionless, non-turbulent, etc.
The impeller passages are completely filled with actively flowing fluid at all
times. The velocities of the fluid at similar points on all the flow lines are the same.
The ideal total head developed by the impeller based on these assumptions iscalled Eulerhead and designated by HE and is given by,
Note:-The deviation of actual conditions from these assumptions will be
considered later.

d) When = 0, there is no static pressure change in the impeller. The energy transferis entirely due to the change of absolute velocity in the diffuser. In other words,the impeller has equi-pressure blades or impulse blades. Machines having suchan impeller is known as an impulse machines. The blades of impulse impellersare forward curved and the blades of reaction impellers are backward curved asshown in the figure. In order to generate more pressure in the impeller, the angle

Actual Head or Power developed by the impeller
It has been discussed that the ideal head or power developed by the impeller isderived based on the listed assumptions. Some of these assumptions were if thefluid is frictionless, non-turbulent, etc. In this section the factors which causes thesedeviations will be discussed.
Factors which causes deviation of actual machines from the ideal
a) Circulatory flow:- If a closed container is filled with fluid and rotated about anaxis, the fluid tends to rotate in opposite direction relative to the container due toits inertia. It is apparent that the fluid in contact with the side A of the container isat a higher pressure than at B, as the container is exerting a pressure on the fluidon that side while it is being accelerated as shown in the figure.

Actual Head or Power developed by the impeller
Factors which causes deviation of the actual machines from the idealThis implies that the velocity at B is higher than A according to Bernoullisequation. The amount of this circulatory flow depends on the shape of thecontainer. It will be less if is long and narrow. In a rotating impeller two flows takeplace simultaneously; namely, the flow of fluid through the passage and thecirculatory flow as shown in the figure. The resultant effect for a given flow is to
cause the fluid to leave the wheel at an angle less than the vane angle and toincrease the guide blade angle. This effect is illustrated in the velocity diagramwhere the dotted lines represent the ideal velocity diagrams.

the fluid enters the impeller vanes radially so that 1 = 900. As the fluid
approaches the vane inlet, it comes in contact with the rotating impeller. Thistends to cause a mismatch between the blade angles and the inlet flowdirections specially at high flow rates. This causes the inlet vane angle to be
larger as shown in the figure. The net effect is to reduce the head and hence thepower to be transferred to the fluid due to the presence of vu1.

the fluid and between the fluid and the surfaces of the impeller and the diffuser.
e) Turbulence:-The type of flow existing in a pump or a compressor or a blower isturbulent as the determined from the Reynold number. The effect of turbulence is
also to reduce the machine performance.
f) Leakage:- This is due to the loss of fluid during operation. The effect of thisleakage loss is to reduce the discharge capacity.
The actual head is called the manometric head (Hm) is, therefore, given by:

Radial Compressors
EfficienciesThe actual head developed by a compressor is less than the ideal or Euler Head (HE)due to various losses. In designing such machines it is usually difficult to predictthese losses. Engineers or Designers prefer to use empirical relations and/orefficiencies to consider the effects of these losses in the performance of themachine.a) Circulatory flow coefficient ( ):- the ideal or Euler Head (HE) is derived by
considering an impeller with infinite number of vanes so as to avoid circulatoryflow. The effect of circulatory flow is to reduce v2 as shown in the velocity diagram.

b) Overall Head Coefficient ( ):- the head developed by a turbomachine due toforced vortex flow has been derived as,
But, due to the shape of the vanes and the casing the ratio can not be unity.Hence, in actual case the ratio 1 is replaced by .
From this equation, D2 can also be determined.
c) Hydraulic efficiency ( H):- the actual head or manometric head (Hm) developedby the machine is less than the ideal or Euler Head (HE) due to mainly friction andturbulence losses. To consider this effect, a hydraulic efficiency (H) is related as,

What is a Steam Turbine ?
A Steam Turbine is a turbomachine which converts steam or vapor
(thermal) energy into mechanical energy. The so obtained mechanicalenergy is used to drive a generator.
Steam power plants use steam or vapor as a working medium. Suchpower plants are: coal plants, nuclear plants, or natural gas plants,depending on the type of fuel used to supply heat to the water or steam.
The thermodynamic cycle on which such power plants operate is called
the vapor power cycle (Rankine cycle). In the vapor power cycle theworking fluid continuously vaporized and condensed. Vapor(steam) orwater is the most common working fluid used in vapor power cyclebecause of its many desirable characteristics, such as low cost,availability, and high enthalpy of vaporization.

Steam Turbine
In a steam turbine, high-pressure steam from the boiler expands in a set
of stationary blades (nozzles). The high-velocity steam from stationaryblades (nozzles) strikes the set of moving blades (buckets) as shown inthe figure.
The kinetic energy of the steam or vapor isutilized to produce work on the turbine rotor.
Low-pressure steam then leaves the turbineand enters into the condenser.
There are two types of steam-turbine stagedesigns: the impulse stage, and the reaction stage.

Main application areas of Gas Power Cycles are in the design andoperation of IC Engines and Gas Turbines.
Gas Turbines
IC EnginesIn gas power cycles, the working fluid remains a gas throughout the entire cycle.Spark-ignition engines, compression-ignition engines, and conventional gas turbinesare familiar examples of devices that operate on a gas power cycle. In all theseengines, energy is provided by burning a fuel within the system boundaries. That is,
they are internal combustion (IC) engines.

Ideal Jet-Propulsion cycleThe ideal Jet-Propulsion cycle is a modified Brayton open cycle, used in thedesign of jet propulsion systems. Gas-turbine engines are widely used to
power aircraft because they are light and compact and have high power-to-weight ratio. Aircraft gas turbines operate on an open cycle called a jet-propulsion cycle. The ideal jet-propulsion cycle differs from the ideal Braytoncycle in that the gases are expanded to a pressure such that the powerproduced by the turbine is just sufficient to drive the compressor and the
auxiliary equipment, such as a small generator and hydraulic pumps. That isthe net work output of a jet-propulsion cycle is zero. The gases that exit theturbine at a relatively high pressure are subsequently accelerated in a nozzleto provide the thrust to propel the aircraft.

What is a Wind Turbine ?
A Wind Turbine is a turbomachine which converts wind (fluid) energy intomechanical energy. The so obtained mechanical energy is used to drive apump or a generator.
Wind energy is a renewable, pollution free and cheap energy source likethose of water and solar energies.Wind is air in motion, caused by uneven heating of the earth by the sun.
This creates difference in densities and leads to a mass movement of airfrom one location to the other.
Wind Turbines may be classified as Vertical-Axis, Horizontal-Axis, Fast-Running, Slow-Running, etc.

Principle of operationThe figure shown below is the cross-section of the rotor blade called anaerofoil. It is similar to the aerofoil of an aircraft.
When air is moving over the surface of
an aerofoil, a pressure difference iscreated ( Refer:-Bernoullis Principle ).This pressure difference creates aresultant force F. If this force isdecomposed into perpendicular andparallel to flow direction, results Lift L
and Drag D.

Fluid Couplings and Torque Converters are power transmitting systems. Power istransmitted between the driving and driven shaft usually by mechanical means like
gear drive. In such drives the shock loads and vibration are transmitted from one sideto the other which is not desirable. Also in gear drives there is a speed fluctuation. Incertain cases where the driven machine has a large inertia, the driving prime moverlike electric motor will not be able to provide a large starting torque. Instead of themechanical connection if fluids can be used for such drives, high inertia can be met.Also shock loads and vibration will not be transmitted. Smooth speed variation is also
possible.There are two types of power transmitting devices using a fluid.
i) Fluid Couplingii) Torque Converter or Torque Multiplier
i) Fluid Coupling
A sectional view of a Fluid Coupling is as shown in thefigure. In this device the driving and driven shafts are notrigidly connected. The drive shaft carries a pump withradial vanes and the driven shaft carries a turbine runner.Both of these are enclosed in a casing filled with oil ofsuitable viscosity. The pump accelerates the oil by
imparting energy to it.

i) Fluid Coupling
The oil is then directed to hit the turbine vanes where
energy is absorbed and the oil is decelerated. Thedecelerated oil now enters the pump and the cycle isrepeated. There is no flow of fluid to or from the outside.The oil transfers energy from the drive shaft to the drivenshaft. As there is no mechanical connection between theshafts, shock loads or vibration will not be transmittedfrom one to the other. The turbine will start rotating onlyafter a certain level of energy is picked up by the oil fromthe pump.
ii) Torque ConverterIn case of Fluid Coupling the torque on the driver and
driven members are equal. The application is for direct-drive machines. But there are cases where the torquerequired at the driven member should be more than thetorque on the driver or in other words, the speed requiredat the driven member should be less than the speed onthe driver. Such an application is widely used in
automobile transmission systems.

ii) Torque Converter
One advantage of Torque Converter is that the speedvariation is smooth as compared to mechanicalconnection (Gear Drive) as shown in the figure.
A sectional view of Torque Converter is as shown in thefigure. Torque Converter consists of three elements:Pump impeller, Turbine runner and a Guide wheel orStator.The pump is connected to the drive shaft. The guidevanes are fixed. The turbine runner is connected to thedriven shaft. All the three are enclosed in a casing filledwith a suitable transmission oil. When the engine starts tooperate, mechanical energy from the crankshaft istransmitted to the driven shaft and then to the pump
impeller. The impeller then imparts energy to the oil.

ii) Torque ConverterDue to centrifugal force, the oil moves out of the impellerto strike the turbine runner. In doing so the fluid impartsmomentum to the turbine and the turbine together with thedriving shaft starts to rotate and transmit the power to theplanetary gear box. The oil after being expended itsenergy in the turbine runner made to flow back to thepump impeller through a stator or guide vane. This
produces a reactive torque on the pump which increasesthe torque to be transmitted.
