Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. I'm an engineer...admittedly perhaps not a great one.
I wanted to know about a typical automotive fixed geometry turbocharger. Generally it seems that the compressor is larger than the turbine. Despite being more mass flow on the turbine side. Why exactly is this?
Also another part to my question - If you used the turbine as a compressor for atmospheric air, what would it's flow and pressure be like? Would it be very inefficient?
Thanks
