What is the function of Casio turbine blades?
1 Answers
Turbine blades serve the purpose of converting energy between "fluid kinetic energy" and "mechanical energy". Functions of turbine blades: Turbine blades have two distinct functions, each serving different purposes. One is to convert the kinetic energy of a fluid into mechanical energy. For example, in a turbine generator set, steam or water flow impacts the blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades drives the generator rotor, thereby producing electric current. The entire process involves the conversion of fluid kinetic energy -------> mechanical energy from blade rotation ------> electrical energy. Conversion process: The other function is to convert "mechanical energy" into "fluid kinetic energy," thereby accelerating the fluid. Examples include centrifugal air compressors and automotive turbocharging systems. In these systems, a motor drives the blades to rotate at high speed. The surface of the high-speed rotating blades is designed according to fluid dynamics principles. When the fluid contacts the blade surface, it flows along the surface as the blades rotate. Typically, the fluid enters axially along the rotation of the blades and exits radially, being accelerated by the centrifugal force generated by the blade rotation.
