EDUSAT PROGRAMME 15 Turbomachines (Unit 3) Axial flow compressors and pumps Axial flow compressors and pumps are power absorbing turbomachines. These machines absorb external power and thereby increase the enthalpy of the flowing fluid. Axial flow turbomachines use large quantity of fluid compared to mixed and centrifugal type of turbomachines. However, the pressure rise per stage is lower in case of axial flow turbomachines than mixed and centrifugal flow turbomachines. Axial flow compressors are used in aircraft engines, stand alone power generation units, marine engines etc. Design of axial flow compressors is more critical than the design of turbines (power generating turbomachines). The reason is that, in compressors the flow moves in the direction of increasing pressure (adverse pressure gradient). If the flow is pressurized by supplying more power, the boundary layers attached to the blades and casing get detached and reverse flow starts which leads to flow instability leading to possible failure of the machine. However, in turbines the fluid moves in the decreasing pressure (favourable pressure gradient). To transfer a given amount of energy more number of stages are required in compressors than in turbines. Generally, the fluid turning angles are limited to 20˚ in compressors and is 150˚ to 165˚ in case of turbines. Thus the pressure rise per stage is limited in case of compressors. Fluid flows in direction of increasing pressure, this increases the density of the fluid, thus the height of the blade decreases from the entrance to the exit.

Turbomachines (Unit 3)

Axial flow compressors and pumps

Axial flow compressors and pumps are power absorbing turbomachines. These

machines absorb external power and thereby increase the enthalpy of the flowing

fluid. Axial flow turbomachines use large quantity of fluid compared to mixed and

centrifugal type of turbomachines. However, the pressure rise per stage is lower in

case of axial flow turbomachines than mixed and centrifugal flow turbomachines.

Axial flow compressors are used in aircraft engines, stand alone power generation

units, marine engines etc.

Design of axial flow compressors is more critical than the design of turbines

(power generating turbomachines). The reason is that, in compressors the flow

moves in the direction of increasing pressure (adverse pressure gradient). If the

flow is pressurized by supplying more power, the boundary layers attached to the

blades and casing get detached and reverse flow starts which leads to flow

instability leading to possible failure of the machine. However, in turbines the fluid

moves in the decreasing pressure (favourable pressure gradient). To transfer a

given amount of energy more number of stages are required in compressors than in

turbines. Generally, the fluid turning angles are limited to 20˚ in compressors and

is 150˚ to 165˚ in case of turbines. Thus the pressure rise per stage is limited in

case of compressors. Fluid flows in direction of increasing pressure, this increases

the density of the fluid, thus the height of the blade decreases from the entrance

to the exit. Axial flow compressors have inlet guide vanes at the entrance and

diffuser at the exit.

Figure 1 shows the flow through the compressor and fig. 2 shows the

corresponding inlet and exit velocity triangles. Generally for a compressor the

angles are defined with respect to axial direction (known as air angles). It can be

seen that the fluid turning angle is low in case of compressors. Figure 3 shows the

flow through the turbine blade and fig. 4 the corresponding inlet and exit velocity

triangles for a turbine.

Expression for degree of reaction for axial flow compressor

Degree of reaction is defined as a measure of static

rotor expressed as a percentage of the total static enthalpy

Assumptions:

1. The analysis is for 2-dimensional flow

2. The flow is assumed to take

peripheral velocities at inlet and outlet are same and there is no flow in the

radial direction

3. It is common to express blade angles w.r.t. axial direction in case of axial

flow compressor (air angles)

4. Axial velocity is assumed to remain constant

Thermodynamics of fluid

Sonic velocity and Mach number

1.Sonic velocity is the speed of propagation of pressure wave in a medium.

2.The speed of sound in a fluid at a local temperature for isentropic flow is given

by where γ is the ratio of specific heats = 1.4, R is characteristics gas constant =

287 J/kg K and T is the local temperature in kelvins. At 15˚ the speed of sound is

340 m/s.

3.As altitude increases temperature decreases and speed of sound decreases.

4.Mach Number is defined as the ratio of local velocity of fluid to the sonic

velocity of sound in that fluid

5. Many turbines and compressors experience high Mach numbers

6.High Mach numbers give rise to some special problems such as shock waves

which leads to irreversibility and cause loss in stagnation pressure and increase in

entropy

7.Using continuity equation, Euler’s equation and isentropic equation following

two equations are derived

8.The above equations decide the variations in velocity, pressure and area for

different Mach numbers

9.The three basic classifications are a) Subsonic flow M<1

b) Sonic flow M=1 c) Supersonic flow M>1

Static and Stagnation states

Turbomachines involve the use of compressible and incompressible fluids. In compressible TM’s fluid move with velocities more than Mach one at many locations. In incompressible TM’s the fluid velocities are generally low, however, K.E. and P.E. of the moving fluid are very large and cannot be neglected To formulate equations based on actual state of the fluid based on laws of thermodynamics two states are used.

The states are static state and stagnation states.

Static State If the measuring instrument is static with respect to the fluid, the measured quantity is known as static property. The measured static property could be pressure, velocity temperature, enthalpy etc.,. The state of the particle fixed by a set of static properties is called static state.

Stagnation State

It is defined as the terminal state of a fictitious, isentropic work-free and steady flow process during which the final macroscopic P.E. and K.E. of the fluid particle are reduced to zero. Real process does not lead to stagnation state because no real process is isentropic. Stagnation property changes provide ideal value against which the real machine performance can be compared. It is possible to obtain stagnation properties in terms of static properties by using the definition of stagnation state. Consider the steady flow process given by the first law of thermodynamics.

Static state is the initial state in a fictitious isentropic work free , steady flow process and the stagnation state is the terminal state in which the ke and pe are reduced to zero, one can define a stagnation state at the initial static state.

In the above eq. subscript o represents stagnation state and subscript i represents initial static state If subscript i is removed from the initial static state Thus stagnation state has been expressed as the sum of three static properties. Since the process is isentropic, the final entropy is same as initial enthalpy. Final entropy is stagnation and initial entropy is static. Any two independent properties at a specific state is sufficient to fix the state of simple compressible substance by using thermodynamic relations.

a) Incompressible Fluid: (Density is constant)

Final state is stagnation with subscript o and initial state is Static without subscript

Thus stagnation pressure of an incompressible fluid is expressed in terms of static

pressure, velocity and height above a datum line.

Thus using thermodynamic relations stagnation pressure, Stagnation pressure,

stagnation temperature and stagnation internal energy are found.

1. A stage with a finite pressure drop is a finite stage 2. In a multi-stage turbine along with the overall isentropic efficiency the

efficiencies of individual stages are important 3. On account of large pressure drop and associated thermodynamic effect the

overall isentropic efficiency is not a true index of aerodynamic or hydraulic performance of machine

4. Different stages with the same pressure drop located in different regions of h-s plane will give different values of work output

The above equation shows that constant pressure lines must diverge towards the

right

This makes the overall efficiency of the turbine greater than the individual stage

efficiencies

The quantity is known as reheat factor and is always greater than

one.

Reheat is due to the reappearance of stage losses as increased enthalpy during

constant pressure heating process.

Infinitesimal stage efficiency or Polytropic efficiency

The irreversible adiabatic (actual) expansion process can be considered as equivalent to a polytropic process with index n.

When ηp=1, n=γ the expansion line coincides with the isentropic expansion. The efficiency of a finite stage can now be expressed in terms of small stage efficiency. Taking static values of Tand p and assuming perfect gas

Finite stage efficiency (Compressor)

• A compressor with a finite pressure rise is known as a finite stage • Stage work is a function of initial temperature and pressure ratio • For the same pressure ratio, a stage requires a higher value of work with

higher temperature • Thus compressor stages in the higher temperature region suffer on account

of this The above factors have a cumulative effect on the efficiency of multistage compressor
