Describe thermodynamics of fluid flow through turbo machines
Define sonic velocity and Mach number and isentropic flow for a varying flow area and classify fluid flow based on Mach number and stagnation stage. Describe the work done and efficiencies of the compression process in compressors (expression for work done, total to total, static to static, finite stage, infinitesimal, multistage and preheat factor and constant stage pressure ratio). Describe work done and efficiencies of the expansion process in turbines (expression for work done, total to total, total to static, finite stage, infinitesimal, multistage and reheat factor, constant stage pressure ratio and temperature drop). Apply the concepts to solve problems.
