The performance of turbines, compressors, and pumps

Chapter 6, Problem 6.8D

(choose chapter or problem)

The performance of turbines, compressors, and pumps decreases with use, reducing isentropic efficiency. Select one of these three types of components and develop a detailed understanding of how the component functions. Contact a manufacturer’s representative to learn what measurements are typically recorded during operation, causes of degraded performance with use, and maintenance actions that can be taken to extend service life. Visit an industrial site where the selected component can be observed in operation and discuss the same points with personnel there. Prepare a poster presentation of your findings suitable for classroom use
