PARTS OF A TURBO MACHINE
The principle components of a turbo machine are:
1. Rotating element (vane, impeller or blades)
2. Stationary elements – which usually guide the fluid in proper direction for efficient energy conversion process.
3. Shaft – which either gives input power or takes output power from fluid under dyn
required speed.
4. Housing – to keep various rotating, stationery and other passages safely under dynamic conditions of the
flowing fluid.
E.g. Steam turbine parts and Pelton turbine parts.
