INTRODUCTION TO

FLUID MACHINERY
PREPARED BY: ENGR. REEVE CORNELIUS CINCO
TOPIC LEARNING OUTCOMES

 Understand Fluid Machinery


 Review of Fluid Mechanics
 Relate Concepts to Real-World Applications
FLUID MACHINERY

 These are devices or machinery wherein it converts the energy stored


by a fluid into mechanical energy or vice versa.
COMMON TYPES OF FLUID
MACHINERY
 PUMPS
 FANS AND BLOWERS
 COMPRESSORS
 TURBINES
PUMPS

 A pump is a machine used


to add energy to a liquid in
order to transfer the liquid
from one point to another
point of higher energy level.
FANS

 Fan is a machine used to apply power to a


gas to increase its energy content thereby
causing it to flow or move.
BLOWER

 Blower is a fan used


to force air under
pressure, that is the
resistance to gas
flow is imposed
primarily upon the
discharge.
COMPRESSOR

 Compressor is a machine used to increase the pressure of a gas by


decreasing its volume
TURBINE

 Is a prime mover for the


conversion of heat energy of
fluids into work on a
revolving shaft, utilizing fluid
acceleration principles in jet
and vane machinery.
