Turbomachinery Aerodynamic Design, Testing & Analysis, 35 years
Wiki Interests
There are numerous types of dynamic continuous flow turbomachinery that can be referenced within Wikipedia. Below is a partial list of these entries. What is notable about this collection is that the fundamentals that apply to turbomachinery also apply to each of these entries. Certainly there are significant differences between these machines and between the types of analysis that are typically applied to specific cases. This does not negate the fact that they are unified by the same underlying physics of fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and thermodynamics. I want to know what makes these topics fun and interesting. I want to learn how explain this technology in a fun an interesting way with the hope that others will become enthusiasts.

ABSTRACT:
A design is presented for the turbomachinery for an indirect cycle, closed, helium cooled modular pebble bed reactor system. The design makes use of current technology and will operate with an overall efficiency of 45%. The design uses an intermediate heat exchanger which isolated the reactor cycle from the turbomachinery. This design excludes radioactive fission products from the turbomachinery. This minimizes the probability of an air ingress accident and greatly simplifies maintenance.
