Axial Flow Compressor
Given:
Pressure ratio = 1.22,
Inlet stagnation temperature = 288K
Stagnation temperature rise of the stages = 21K
Rotor tip speed = 200 m/s
Rotor rotates = 4500 rpm
[2] An axial flow compressor has a tip diameter of
0.95m and a hub diameter of 0.85 m of the rotor
blade. The absolute velocity of air makes an angle of
28 ̊ (degree) measured from the axial direction and
relative velocity angle is 56 ̊ (degree). The absolute
velocity outlet angle is 56 ̊ (degree) and the relative
velocity outlet angle is 28 ̊ (degree). The rotor rotates
at 5000 rpm and the density of air is 1.2 kg/m3.
Determine:
1. The axial velocity at the tip.
2. The mass flow rate.
3. The power required.
4. The flow angles at the hub.
5. The degree of reaction at the hub.
