Turbomachinery

As the turbomachinery industry strives to enhance efficiency, reduce emission, and save fuel, there is a growing need to increase the lifespan of components while keeping costs low. Achieving these objectives necessitates significant design changes to turbo components such as rotors, stators, seals, and other rotating systems. By conducting a comprehensive study of vibration, fatigue, stress, and heat transfer within the system, it is possible to accurately predict failure modes and estimate the lifespan of turbomachines. TEFUGEN’s Finite Element Analysis services are specifically tailored to meet these requirements and provide reliable solutions.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a commonly used tool in the design and analysis of turbomachinery components. FEA involves breaking down complex structures into smaller, more manageable elements that can be analyzed using mathematical models. In the turbomachinery domain, FEA can be used to simulate the behavior of components such as impellers, blades, and casings under different loading conditions. Here are some potential areas of focus for FE Analysis in the turbomachinery domain.

Impeller Analysis

Impellers are critical components in turbomachinery systems, FEA can be used to analyze their performance under different operating conditions. Impellers experience a range of loads, including centrifugal forces, fluid forces, and thermal loads, FEA can be used to simulate these loads and analyze their effect on the impeller’s structural behavior.

Blade Analysis

Blades are critical components in turbomachinery systems, FEA can be used to analyze their structural behavior under different loading conditions. Blades experience a range of loads, including aerodynamic forces, centrifugal forces, and thermal loads, FEA can be used to simulate these loads and analyze their effect on the blade’s structural behavior.

Casing Analysis

The casing is an important component in turbomachinery systems, FEA can be used to analyze its structural behavior under different loading conditions. Casing experiences loads such as fluid forces, thermal loads, and centrifugal forces, FEA can be used to simulate these loads and analyze their effect on the casing’s structural behavior.

Material Selection

FEA can also be used to help engineers select the appropriate materials for turbomachinery components. By simulating the behavior of different materials under different loading conditions, FEA can help engineers identify materials that will perform well in the harsh operating environments of turbomachinery systems.

Optimization: FEA can also be used to optimize the design of turbomachinery components, by simulating the behavior of different designs under different loading conditions. By analyzing the results of these simulations, engineers can identify designs that will perform well and make adjustments to improve performance and reduce the risk of failure.
