Preliminary Optimization of Multi-Stage Axial-Flow Industrial Process Compressors Using Aero-Engine Compressor Design Strategy

Aero-engine core compressor preliminary design strategy has been successfully applied to the advanced of gas turbines compressors. However, few researchers have addressed application aero-engine in optimal industrial process Here we embedded into a method, which six types parameters widely used define configuration, i.e., aspect ratio, solidity, reaction, rotation speed, outlet axial Mach number, and inlet radius were as variables. The 4-stage, 5-stage, 6-stage, 7-stage configuration with same overall requirements for large-scale air separation main preliminarily optimized by developed 4-stage stage pressure rise level current compressors, whereas that configurations then refined throughflow-based detailed method finally verified computational fluid dynamic simulations. It is found can optimize efficiency accurately predict aerodynamic performance compressors minutes. Several guidelines also identified. This work significance extending
