EML 3401 - Principles of Turbomachinery

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: EGN 3343 - Engineering Thermodynamics
Co-requisite: EGN 3015C - Mechanical Lab Design 1

Course Description: This course is an introductory course into turbomachinery. Turbomachines are those in which energy is transferred to or from a continuously moving fluid by the motion of a rotating element. Some of the most common and important machines used in engineering and industry fall into this category, including those which absorb power, such as fans, compressors and pumps or other varieties of machines which generate power such as steam and gas turbines. This course introduces the principles of fluid machinery design with emphasis on the axial and centrifugal machinery. (Spring#2-odd year)
