Best Answer

These are machines dealing with fluids, like (Axial Compressors, pumps and Fans). the term "Axial" is given due to the direction of inward and outward flow. In axial turbo machines the direction of outward flow is the same as the direction of the inward flow since the blades of the machines doesn't change the direction of flow.

The frontal area of a centrifugal compressor as compared to axial flow compressor is larger or smaller?

the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.

What is the difference in working between axial flow pumps and mixed flow pumps?

In axial flow pumps, fluid enters and exits along the same direction parallel to the rotating shaft giving high flow rates and low head. In radial flow pumps, fluid enters and leaves perpendicular to the rotating shaft giving high head and low flow rates. Thus, in mixed we have combined of both axial and radial.i.e.Liquid will go behind the impeller at certain angle between 0-90degrees normally below 45degree.Mixed flow replace axial when we require head not provided by the axial pump as we have to lift water from a water a lower level and then discharge it. physically,mixed flow can be identified by bellmouth(diverging converging shape) which shows its between axial and radial.

How does axial pump works?

An axial flow pump operates centrifugally in design. The fluid is pushed outward from the center or axis of the pump.

What is the difference of an axial flow and centrifugal compressor?

The centrifugal flow compressor has a single or two stage unit using an impeller. The axial flow compressor is a multi-stage unit using alternate rows of rotating (rotor) blades and stationary (stator) vanes.


What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?

in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.
