QUESTIONS
• Is this a compressor or a turbine? How can you tell?
• On which blade row(s) is there a torque applied? Why?
• Describe in words the energy exchange process in each of the two blade rows
![Page 15: MAE 4261: AIR-BREATHING ENGINES Velocity Triangles Example April 12, 2012 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department Florida Institute of Technology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649ed45503460f94be4e3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
QUESTIONS
• Is this a compressor or a turbine?
– This is a turbine. The stationary frame tangential velocity (v) in the direction of rotor motion is reduced across the moving blade row
• On which blade row(s) is there a torque applied? Why?
– Torque is applied to both blade rows since there is a change in angular momentum across each of them. However, power is extracted only from the moving blades.
• Describe in words the energy exchange process in each of the two blade rows
– In the first blade row, fluid internal energy is converted to swirling kinetic energy by accelerating the flow through a nozzle. No additional energy is added or removed from the flow.
– In the second blade row, swirling kinetic energy is extracted from the flow reducing the overall level of energy in the flow and transferring it to the spinning rotor blades.

• So far, we have looked at trailing edge angles of the blades (b and c’)
• Why do we care about exit velocities from stator in the relative frame? Why do we even draw this on velocity triangles?
Why draw this?
