which drives another machine (consumer) mechanically. By this
delivery of mechanical energy via the shaft (to the consumer)
energy is taken out of the fluid. So, related to the shaft: energy

Purpose: Increase of mechanical energy (via decrease of fluid
energy).

In case of mechanically acting fluid energy machines the exchange
of work between fluid and machine is happening in terms of work due
to change of volume, compression work and displacement work. As
explained in the following, work due to change of the volume and
compression work is connected by displacement work. It is
∫∫ −=−− A
A
E
VdpVpVppdV )(
The energy exchange via work due to change of volume requires a
closed system with movable system boundary, which manages to fulfil
the postulation dV 0 ≠ The simplest case of such a system is a
cylinder with a moving piston. The movement of a piston is directly
connected to the change in volume of a closed system. The work of
the machine results from piston force F and piston travel. In
losses condition this work is equal to the work due to change in
volume or in case of an incompressible fluid equal to the
displacement work. As the piston force is based upon a static
pressure difference, we are talking about a static principle of
work.
The energy exchange between fluid and machine in an open system
primarily happens via compression work. The required postulation dp
0≠ is achieved via the flow around the blade profile. The changes
in magnitude and direction of the flow velocity effect change in
the momentum of the fluid particles. The result is the fluid force
F on the blade, if the blades are mounted on a rotor, the
circumferential component of the resulting fluid force multiplied
with the distance of the point of load incidence, which results
from the turning, provides the work of the rotor. In losses
condition this work is equal to the compression work. As the force
on the blade is dependent on dynamic changes of the pressure, we
are talking about a dynamic principle of work.

Operating principle Periodic, therefore control valves are
necessary. Thereby additional moving components with mass inertia
and risk of malfunction. Flywheel necessary.
Steady, thereby no control valves, no flywheel.
Flow Unsteady, thereby accelerating and decelerating forces in the

heavy design, limited package size.

by mass forces, higher friction losses, lower operating speed. By

Efficiency Nearly constant starting from minimum load. Dependent of
power. Thereby higher losses at partial-, or overload.
Power Independent of rotation speed (except combustion
engines).

Dependent on rotation speed. Thereby minimum speed of effective
operation.

A state variable exists, if the difference of its values for two

All of these variables are dependent on the way of the change in
state.(from 1 to 2) 1 st characteristic: For these variables no
complete differential is existing (e.g. dq) Because at this these
non-interable integrals we are often writing: e.g. qd ., qδ 2 rd
characteristic: According to an agreement these non-state- variable
differences are written as declared here (e.g. 12y ). We are
calling it “work”, or “work difference” in contrast to “energy” or
“energy difference” as in case of state variables.

p = p(T,v) FM-3.3.1
General information: A homogeneous system has in every equilibrium
condition definite values of the thermal state variables v, p, and
T. These state variables are called thermodynamic coordinates of
the system. But its state is already defined if two of these
coordinates are given. For every equilibrium condition the third
one is a function of the two other coordinates. The thermal state
equation can be geometrically displayed as a face. For example we
can plot pressure p=p(v,T) as ordinate over the v,T-plain (s.
TM-3.5). Every substance has its own thermal state equation. This
is an additional, independent information on the properties of the
matter. It cannot be obtained by thermodynamics but only by
experiments or the molecular theory of matter. Because no
satisfying molecular theory is existing, the thermal state equation
has to be defined by experiments. Thermal state equation p = p

u = u(T,v) FM-3.3.2
General information: The internal energy is a property of the
system. In case of a simple system it consists of kinetic energy of
the inferior molecular movement and of the potential energy of the
molecules caused by attraction and rejection potential between the
molecules. The work which is supplied to the adiabatic system
increases the average speed of the molecular distance. In this way
work is performed against the attraction and rejection forces
between the molecules. This interpretation of the internal energy
already exceeds the horizon of thermodynamics. According to the 1st
fundamental theorem the internal energy is a state variable like
volume, pressure and temperature. As the state of equilibrium is
already defined by two (independent) state variables, the specific
energy u has to be a function of two state variables. A correlation
is existing which is called the calorific state equation of the
simple system. Calorific state equation u = u(T,v) As the internal
energy is a state function, it has a complete differential:
dv v udT

leads to a special synonym due to history: vc is called the
specific heat capacity in case of constant volume.

General information: A flowing medium, which crosses the boundary
of an open system, carries besides specific internal energy u and
kinetic and potential energy specific flow energy vp ⋅ into the
open system. In the 1st fundamental theorem the terms u and vp ⋅
can be combined to the enthalpy .pvuh +≡ The sum pvu + in the
energy equation is a state variable like the specific energy,
pressure and specific volume. Thus it is a function of two
independent state variables. The functional correlation is called
calorific state equation like the relation ).,( Tvuu = Calorific

General information: The 2nd fundamental theorem provides a general
information on the direction of themodynamic process. This
information is expressed by diving all processes into reversible,
Irreversible and impossible processes. The question is does one
state variable exist, which changes in characteristic and different
kind for reversible, irreversible and impossible processes? This
state variable, which allowes a mathematic expression of the 2rd
fundamental theorem via equations or ineguations, has been
established by R. CLAUSIUS and has been called entropy (s) in 1865.
In a adiabatic system irreversible and impossible processes differ
very clearly in the U,V-diagram by the position of their final
state compared to their starting state.

We can think about connecting the final states 2,2’ and 2’’ to the
starting state 1 with a quasi-static change in state. For this
change in state the differencial expression ds can be calculated.
It got three different values: > 0 for change in state 12’,
which means irreversible adiabatic process;
T pdvdUds +
= = 0…for change in state 12, which means reversible adiabatic
process;
< 0 for change in state.12’’, which means impossible process in
an adiabatic system.

By the value of the differencial expression du+pdv we can in case
of an infinitesimal process of an adiabatic system decide, if the
process is reversible, irreversible or impossible. For finite
processes in an adiabatic system the value of the integral

can only be defined, if the path of the change in state is known,
because in case of finite quasi-static change in state it is not
only dependent on starting and final state, but also on the kind of
change in state. Mathematical pdVdU + is not a complete
differencial; there is no function ),,( VUZZ = for which

Saturation pressure In a saturated mixture of gas and steam the
saturation pressure ps of the steam arises. It is dependent on the
temperature and the overall pressure of the mixture: )p,T(pp ss =
With the increasing of the overall pressure the saturation pressure
of the steam is rising a little. But it is not dependent on the
kind of gas. At minor overall pressures (p < 10 bar) the
saturation pressure ps is only about less than 1% higher than the
steam pressure pDs of pure steam. Therefore the pressure dependency
of the saturation pressure can be neglected: )T(p)p,T(p Dss = Dew

Fluid machines
The state of non-saturated wet air is defined by three state
variables: and the steam content. p,T Partial density or absolute
humidity: V/mww ≡ρ The mass of steam is related to the volume V of
wet air. According to Dalton it is: wm
TR p
w w == ρ
At a defined temperature partial pressure of the steam and absolute
humidity reach a maximum, if the wet air is saturated.

The ratio of absolute humidity to its maximum at the actual air
temperature is called relative humidity.

The technically most important two-phase area of a pure substance
is the area of wet steam. Wet steam is a mixture of boiling liquid
and saturated steam, which are in the state of thermodynamic
equilibrium. That means they got the same temperature and the same
pressure. A boiling liquid is a liquid whose state is located on
the boiling curve. Saturated steam is a gas whose state is located
on the dew curve. Example: Change in state during heating and
evaporation of water at constant pressure p = 1 bar. The
illustration is not in scale; the specific volume of saturated
steam at 1 bar is 1625 times higher than the specific volume of
boiling liquid.

Turbo-machines are mechanically acting fluid energy machines, which
are acting towards the dynamic operating principle and are
conveying fluids from one to another pressure level. In this
process energy is supplied to (pressure rise) or withdrawn
(pressure drop) from the fluid. UClassification:

The diagram shows that the isentropic efficiency of a compression
is decreasing with the rising of the pressure ratio, if the
polytropic efficiency stays constant. That means in case of a
polytropic compression the isentropic efficiency, which has been
calculated for the whole change in state, is always lower than the
one calculated for any segment of the whole change in state,
because the pressure ratio of the partial compression is in any
case smaller than the one of the complete compression.

Dissipation (hence the efficiency) is UnotU defined by the velocity
triangles! UThe stage- and blade row-efficiencyU are besides the
velocity ratios dependent on the change of the velocities between
the reference cuts. In addition the ratio of inertial- to
viscous-force, shown by the Reynolds number (Re), the
compressibility, shown by the mach number (Ma), and the
characteristic of the fluid, expressed by the isentropic exponent
(k), are relevant.
fη = [velocity ratio (amount of diversion a.s.o.); Geometry
(channel course, profile); Reynolds number; mach number;
characteristic of the fluid]
fη = vel. ratio; geom.; Re; Ma; k The definition of the efficiency
for a turbine stage is the reciprocal of the definition for a
compressor stage. The efficiency is always defined in a way that Tη
< 1 and Vη <1. Due to this the Upolytropic stage-efficiencyU
is:

UW → Blade without effect (ρUBUhVUBU = 0) The impeller and with it
the stage performs no work, because the absolute velocities do not
change. If the inflow-condition cBu1B = 0 is given up, a reasonable
grade of reaction ρBhVB = 1,0 results. This is a popular concept in
compressor design. UR → backwards-bent blade (0,5 < ρUBUhVUBU
<1) The main part of the work transmitted from impeller to fluid
results in an increasing of the potential energy of the fluid. A
smaller part is converted from kinetic to potential energy in the
guide wheel. This kind of layout is often used in the design of
stationary compressors or pumps. UA → Radial- respectively axial
ending blades (ρUBUhVUBU = 0,5) The supplied energy is half by half
converted to potential and kinetic energy of the fluid. A typical
application is compressor design, especially for half-open
impellers with high circumferential velocities (high stage
pressure-ratios). UV → Forward bent-blade (0 < ρUBUhVUBU <
0,5) The impeller transforms more than half of the energy into
kinetic energy. Forward-bent blades are common in ventilator
design.

P = Pumps K = Compressors Vt = Ventilators For particular groups of
machines certain angles of flow (≈ blade-angels) are common,
especially for the impeller outflow-angle βB2B. The screened areas
give the characteristics (ρBhV, BψBhVB) and combinations of angles
(αB2B, βB2B), which meet common designs and are leading to an
adequate operating behavior.

UAxial turbine repetition-stage U ( 2 0=c c ) It is reasonable to
design multi-stage axial turbines preferably out of
repetition-stages, as it is for axial compressors, too. For the
axial turbine repetition-stage (uB1B = uB2B, cB2B = cB0B) all
general relations for ψBhVB and ρBhVB are simplified, as they do
for compressors.
