Performance Prediction Modeling of Axial-Flow Compressor by Flow Equations

Design models of multi- stage, axial flow compressor are developed for gas turbine engines. Axial flow compressor is one of the most important parts of gas turbine units. Therefore, its design and performance prediction are very important. One-dimensional modeling is a simple, fast and accurate method for performance prediction of any type of compressors with different geometries. In this appro...

Experimental Research on Surge and Stability Enhancement of Centrifugal Compressor

Effect of impeller geometry on performance characteristics of centrifugal compressor

Centrifugal Compressors play an essential role in oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Their extensive usage is due to their smooth operation and high reliability compared to other other compressor types. One of the main characteristics of these turbomachines is their performance curve, which is an important criterion for selecting the appropriate compressor for a desired working condition. I...

Positive feedback stabilization of centrifugal compressor surge

Stable operation of axial and centrifugal compressors is limited towards low mass 1ows due to the occurrence of surge. The stable operating region can be enlarged by active control. In this study, we use a control valve which is fully closed in the desired operating point and only opens to stabilize the system around this point. As a result, only nonnegative control values are allowed, which co...
