Flow velocity at the turbine outlet
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: is the flow velocity at the outlet of a gas turbine generally higher than that at the inlet?
It should be greater than. As the airflow passes through the moving blades, its velocity remains constant; whereas when it passes through the stationary blades, it experiences a certain degree of acceleration. In addition, flow losses due to downward movement must also be taken into account
A turbine is a machine that converts the energy contained in a fluid into mechanical work. Not only compressors, but also steam turbines, turbines, gas turbines, and expanders can be referred to as turbomachines. Can gas accelerate as it passes through a turbine? That’s not right, is it?
