Comparisons of Turbomachines with positive displacement machines
P.W.Ingle Department of Mechanical Engineering
Positive Displacement Machines Turbomachines
Involves thermodynamics and mechanical
actions between nearly static fluid and slow
moving surface, volume change cause
pressure change.
Positive Displacements machines are low
speed machines.
These machines have low volumetric
efficiency
Involves thermodynamic and dynamic
actions between continuously flowing
fluid and rotating element, the pressure
change occurs primarily by means of
dynamic actions of rotating elements .
Turbomachines are high speed machines.
These machines have high volumetric
efficiency

Positive Displacement Machines
Efficiency of conversion is high.
Positive displacement machine like
reciprocating compressor is a low
speed isothermal machine.
