Turbomachines are devices within which conversion of total energy of a working medium into mechanical energy and vice versa takes place. Turbomachines are generally divided into two main categories. The first category is used primarily to produce power. It includes, among others, steam turbines, gas turbines, and hydraulic turbines. The main function of the second category is to increase the total pressure of the working fluid by consuming power. It includes compressors, pumps, and fans.
