Axial Flow Compressor

[1] In one stage of an axial flow compressor, the


pressure ratio is to be 1.22 and the air inlet stagnation
temperature is 288K. If the stagnation temperature
rise of the stages is 21K, the rotor tip speed is 200 m/s,
and the rotor rotates at 4500 rpm, calculate the stage
efficiency and diameter of the rotor.

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.
[3] An axial flow compressor stage has the following data:

Air inlet stagnation temperature: 295K

Blade angle at outlet measured from the axial direction: 32 deg

Flow coefficient: 0:56

Relative inlet Mach number: 0:78

Degree of reaction: 0:5

Find the stagnation temperature rise in the first stage of the


compressor.

[5] In an axial flow compressor, air enters at a
stagnation temperature of 290K and 1 bar. The axial
velocity of air is 180 m/s (constant throughout the
stage), the absolute velocity at the inlet is 185 m/s,
the work done factor is 0.86, and the degree of
reaction is 50%. If the stage efficiency is 0.86,
calculate the air angles at the rotor inlet and outlet
and the static temperature at the inlet of the first
stage and stage pressure ratio. Assume a rotor speed
of 200 m/s.
