Introduction to Turbo Machinery

Turbomachinery in mechanical engineering describes machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid including both turbines and compressors. While a turbine transfers energy from a fluid to a rotor a compressor transfers energy from a rotor to a fluid. A turbomachine is a device where mechanical energy in the form. A turbomachine is a device where mechanical energy in the form. of shaft work is transferred either to or from a continuously flowing fluid by the dynamic action of rotating blade rows.
