Difference between turbo machine and reciprocating machine

Answer 1

question:

Difference between turbo machine and reciprocating machine

Answer:

turbo machine÷

Turbomachinery, in mechanical engineering, describes machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid, including both turbines and compressors. While a turbine transfers energy from a fluid to a rotor, a compressor transfers energy from a rotor to a fluid.

reciprocating machine÷

A reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is typically a heat engine (although there are also pneumatic and hydraulic reciprocating engines) that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert pressure into a rotating motion.

Answer 2

The various points of difference between turbo machine and reciprocating machine are:

Explanation for the answer:

• Reciprocating machines or Positive displacement machines are the low speed machines which can only handle smaller flow rates of fluids through it. It's volume efficiency is not 100%.
• A turbomachine takes a dynamic action of the rotor which changes the energy level of the machine and runs at higher speeds and can handle larger flow rates. It's volume efficiency is 100%.
• A reciprocating machine is used to work isothermally whereas the high speed turbomachine is an adiabatic machine.
