Introduction to Turbo Machinery

Hello everyone, this is Meysam Avaran. I've been with Ozen Engineering, Inc. for almost a year and a half. Before that, I worked with an electric car company called Python, and prior to that, I spent nearly five years with Ford Motor Company. Today, I'll be presenting on Thermo Machinery. This is our first YouTube short, and we'll have more coming afterward.

Presentation Outline

  1. Introduction to Turbo Machinery
  2. Overview of ANSYS Legacy Tools (Vista)
  3. Introduction to CF Turbo

Turbo Machinery

Turbo machinery or rotating machinery is prevalent in various industries, including oil and gas, defense, aerospace, data centers, IT hardware, marine, and chemical processes. ANSYS provides tools for modeling such equipment, primarily through Vista and BladeGen.

ANSYS Legacy Tools

Vista tools are integrated into the ANSYS Workbench and include several packs based on application:

  • Vista EFT: Axial fan design
  • CCD: Centrifugal compressor design
  • RTD: Radial turbine design

These tools offer initial or conceptual designs with minimal data inputs, such as RPM and volumetric flow rate.

CF Turbo

CF Turbo is a company founded in 2018 in Germany, with a branch in New York. They are partnered with ANSYS and offer powerful tools for turbo machinery design, focusing on conceptual design and product development. CF Turbo replaces Vista and BladeGen, providing a 3D CAD model for further analysis.

Turbo Machinery Types

Turbo machinery can be categorized by:

  • Flow direction: Radial, Axial, Mixed
  • Fluid type: Hydraulic (incompressible), Thermic (compressible)
  • Drive type: Driven machines (e.g., fans), Turbines (e.g., energy extraction)

CF Turbo can model various types, including radial centrifugal pumps, mixed flow centrifugal pumps, axial centrifugal pumps, and radial compressors.

Conclusion

This was a brief introduction to CF Turbo and turbo machinery. In our next YouTube video, we'll explore different devices and their design using CF Turbo. Thank you for your attention, and have a great day. Bye.

Hello everyone, this is Meysam Avaran. I've been with Ozen Engineering for a year and a half, and before that, I was with an electric car company called Python, and before that, I was almost five years with Ford Motor Company. Today, I'll have a presentation on Thermo Machinery.

This will be the first YouTube short; we'll have more coming afterwards. Ozen Engineering is the LA child partner of ANSYS in the Bay Area, with 17 years of successful operation and over a thousand happy clients and customers.

We sell ANSYS products, conduct trainings, and provide customer support in the areas of multi-physics, computational fluid dynamics, and electromagnetics, including high and low frequency. We have expertise in these topics and can help you with them.

Our territory includes an office in Portland, Oregon, headquarters in Sunnyvale, and some presence in Long Beach, California.

We have a big list of software products available in the Bay Area, including structural tools such as mechanical and elastano, fluid tools such as Flow-N Cfx, Fluent, and Forte, electronic tools for high and low frequency, semiconductors, optics, material side, embedded software, and system modeling.

No matter what business or industry you're in, give us a call, and we are probably having a tool that can help you and make your product development process faster.

In this presentation, we will first have an introduction of our machinery, then we'll go over ANSYS legacy tools, which are mostly Vista, and then we'll have an introduction to CF Turbo, a new tool for modeling fans, pumps, compressors, and turbines.

Turbo machinery or rotating machinery are pretty much everywhere, and we have a lot of technology that we can use to do that. They have a lot of applications in oil and gas, defense and aerospace, data centers and IT hardware, marine, and chemical processes.

The legacy way that ANSYS does it mostly is through Vista and BladeGen, which we'll go through in the next slides. These tools have the capability to create different applications with minimal data such as MFD, RTF, and RTF.

The workflow is to bring the Vista inside the Workbench, design the tool, provide minimal information, and then get a performance CAD and meridian design. After that, you can pass those data into the blade gen, which can give you a 3D CAD.

The beauty of Vista and Blade Gen is that just by having minimally sufficient information on performance of the device and the target flow rate, it can give you an acceptable 3D CAD for 3D CFD simulation. The workflow for initial design is Vista, Blade Gen, meshing, and then 3D CFD simulation.

CF Turbo is a new company that started in 2018 in Germany, with a brand in New York. They have been partnered with ANSYS and have a powerful tool for turbo machinery design, which is very good for conceptual design.

They also have engine services and product development, like total design of the turbo machinery, which we don't have time to go over.

The good thing is that after being a partner, you can bring the tool into ANSYS Workbench as an extension of the turbo machinery and do all kind of 3D analysis such as CFD or FA or anything else that you're interested in.

CF Turbo is based on simple questions like Bernoulli and ULHJe and also transposition cena. It's very helpful when you open CFX, which usually has different modules required on CPU implements.

You can also attach and load hypers Penn and maybe also find out for 2018. CF Turbo has different settings that we're able to use. CF Turbo has the capability to model different types of turbo machinery, including blowers and fans, compressors and turbines, and pumps.

These devices are very commonly used in the industry, and we can solve every type of turbo machinery with CF Turbo. In the next YouTube, we'll go over different devices and how to design them in the CF Turbo device. Thank you for your attention, and have a great day. Bye.
