👉 The Min Fluid, also known as Minimum Fluid Volume, is a critical parameter in fluid mechanics and turbomachinery, representing the smallest volume of fluid that can still maintain its ability to perform work in a system, such as a turbine or compressor. It is the minimum fluid density required for the system to continue operating efficiently without causing significant performance degradation or mechanical issues. This concept is vital in designing and optimizing turbomachinery, as it helps engineers ensure that the fluid remains within operational limits even under varying conditions like changes in pressure, temperature, and flow rate.
