Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The speeds at which modern turbo-machines such as aircraft engines and power generation turbines operate are so high and the time available to react to a possible emergency situation so small that human interface is mostly of little consequence. The automatic control system built inside the modern turbo-machines senses, measures and controls operating parameters which the engine is running. If one or more operating parameters goes beyond set limits because of a malfunction, the control system has the capability to detect the fault, establish a course of corrective action, issue instructions, and execute the commands that will rectify the situation. The entire sequence of detecting, evaluating and taking remedial action occurs over a period that is timed in milliseconds. This book provides detailed procedures for automatic control theory and its methods to improve efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, and in the process also reduce exhaust gas emissions. The book focuses on: -Fuel consumption, power output and exhaust gas emissions -State-of-the-art in sensor and actuator technologies -Achieving target objectives through creative controller stall to controlling rotor vibrations -Real-time simulation to maximise operating efficiency Growth in machine operating parameters and user expectations require exacting methods. Emphasis is placed on practical methods related to instrumentation, understanding concepts, interpreting results and obtaining solutions. Analysis as a problem-solving tool is the focus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in Turbomachinery Design comprises a collection of twelve papers originally published in a special edition of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science. In these papers practising designers, mainly from industry, describe the design process, as they see it, for many different types of turbomachine. Concentrating on the aerodynamic design, the authors discuss the compromises that are necessary in order to satisfy mechanical or other requirements. The book contains specific papers on the design of most common types of turbomachine ranging from gas turbines to steam turbines, and from pumps to turbochargers. In addition there are papers on design methods in general, such as CFD, inverse design, and three-dimensional design. This volume will be of great value to anyone concerned with turbomachinery, whether as a designer, researcher, manager, or student. The practical nature of most of the material distinguishes it from the majority of academic text books, and the cross-fertilization of ideas between disciplines will be stimulating to all involved with the subject.

Download or read book Principles of Turbomachinery written by R. K. Turton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text outlines the fluid and thermodynamic principles that apply to all classes of turbomachines, and the material has been presented in a unified way. The approach has been used with successive groups of final year mechanical engineering students, who have helped with the development of the ideas outlined. As with these students, the reader is assumed to have a basic understanding of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. However, the early chapters combine the relevant material with some new concepts, and provide basic reading references. Two related objectives have defined the scope of the treatment. The first is to provide a general treatment of the common forms of turbo machine, covering basic fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of flow through passages and over surfaces, with a brief derivation of the fundamental governing equations. The second objective is to apply this material to the various machines in enough detail to allow the major design and performance factors to be appreciated. Both objectives have been met by grouping the machines by flow path rather than by application, thus allowing an appreciation of points of similarity or difference in approach. No attempt has been made to cover detailed points of design or stressing, though the cited references and the body of information from which they have been taken give this sort of information. The first four chapters introduce the fundamental relations, and the suc ceeding chapters deal with applications to the various flow paths.
