![]() By this definition propellers, wind turbines and unshrouded fans are also turbomachines but they require a separate treatment. In a classical sense, turbomachines are devices in which energy is added into or taken out from a continuously flowing fluid by the dynamic action of one or more moving blade rows. Yet top rotating equipment specialist in the industry are seen spending their prime time or often being associated with certain unique and specific types of critical rotating machines – the turbomachines. Turbinis in Latin implies spin or whirl, and a natural question that arises is – what are the factors that differentiate turbomachinery? In a general sense the term, “rotating” covers the majority equipment used in the industry be it in the upstream, mid-stream or the downstream segment. Though turbomachinery and rotating equipment are used synonymously, all turbomachinery are rotating equipment but not vice versa. However, many graduates joining the oil and gas industry are designated as rotating equipment engineers. Turbomachinery is a core subject in many engineering curriculums.
