The total enthalpy of a radial turbine

Ahmed Saeed Mansour · February 12, 2017, 18:25

hello, I have finished simulating the radial turbine in CFX and I saw the total enthalpy contours of the rotor blade..i want to know if this enthalpy is per blade or for the whole turbine? I mean that the enthalpy at the rotor inlet 1.65 *10^4 J/Kg....Is this the enthalpy for this blade only and i have to multiply by the number of blades to get the final enthalpy?
Thanks

Why do you think thermodynamic properties could be different at rotor inlet when looking at one blade channel or two blade channels? They are as they are.

Yes sir...I got what I need and you also are right....There was a misunderstanding...That's all
