Abstract
In this chapter, we study the working principles of turbomachines with a number of characteristic examples. Further, we derive the basic laws for energy exchange between a shaft and a fluid and the laws describing energy changes on the fluid side. We also analyse the role of the energy exchanging forces and introduce definitions of efficiency.
