Numerical On Centrifugal Compressor

This document provides an overview of a course topic on compressors with subtopics including a numerical problem on a centrifugal compressor's slip factor. It presents details of the numerical problem involving a centrifugal compressor operating at 16,000 rpm with a 4:1 pressure ratio and 82% isentropic efficiency. The compressor intake conditions and geometric parameters like mean eye diameter and impeller tip diameter are provided to calculate the slip factor. The document was prepared by an assistant professor of thermal engineering as a resource for students.

Slip factor
Numerical 1

A centrifugal compressor has a pressure ratio of 4:1 with an isentropic efficiency of 82% when running at 16,000 rpm.
It takes in air at 17°C. Guide vanes at inlet give the air a pre whirl of 20° to the axial direction at all radii and the
mean diameter of the eye is 200 mm, the absolute air velocity at inlet is 120 m/s. At exit, the blades are radially
inclined and the impeller tip diameter is 550 mm. Calculate the slip factor of the compressor.
