Ensures the continuity of fluid flow through the machine stages.
The fluid moves perpendicular to the axis. Common in turbochargers and centrifugal pumps. Mixed Flow: A combination of axial and radial movement. Real-World Applications
Utilizes Euler’s Turbomachinery Equation to relate torque to the change in angular momentum.
Jet engines use multi-stage axial compressors and turbines to generate thrust.
Steam and gas turbines drive generators to provide electricity for the grid.
Wind and hydroelectric turbines convert natural fluid flow into mechanical power.
