Performance Analysis of Turbopumps
The first part of this article showed how to make use of the different options in TURBOdesign1 to rapidly generate three different turbopump configurations:
- Separate...
Design of Turbopumps
Turbopumps are mainly used in rocket engines and in low suction pressure situations in the industry. As Figure 1 shows, their suction specific speed is very sensitive to...
Design of an Axial Turbine Rotor
The first step in the design of any turbine is to identify the required specific speed regime of the turbine. This will dictate the meridional shape and hence the...
