Turbomachinery

Study of incompressible and compressible flow turbomachinery (pumps, centrifugal and axial compressors, radial and axial turbines)

Understand the physics of the different rotating machines used to deliver energy to a fluid or extract its energy towards a shaft

Theory + exercises + practical demo's

Contribution to the teaching profile

This teaching unit contributes to the following competences:

• In-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering

• Reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity)

• Conceive, plan and execute a research project, based on an analysis of its objectives, existing knowledge and the relevant literature, with attention to innovation and valorization in industry and society

• Correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper

• Present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience

• Collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team

• Has a broad scientific knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to design, produce and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems with a focus on products, systems and services.

• Has an in depth scientific knowledge, understanding and skills in at least one of the subfields needed to design, produce, apply and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems;

• Has an in-depth understanding of safety standards and rules with respect to mechanical, electrical and energy systems.
