On the Structure of Compressor Gas Leakage Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
The understanding of leakage flows is considerably poor when one considers the large efficiency and capacity losses that leakage induces in compressors. An important reason for this is that few compressor engineers seem to comprehend the features of this type of flow that affect the mass flow rate. This paper presents a coherent qualitative picture of leakage flows that is consistent with experimental results. This picture is supported by the analysis of simple models.

متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Investigations of Flow Control in Axial Compressors
T he increase of the thrust-to-weight ratio of modern gas-turbine engines results in higher loads and a reduced number of blades and stages for the compressor. The designer must ensure the acceptable performance of each compressor stage (efficiency and stable operating range) and control the rising risk of blade boundary layer separation. This can be obtained using passive or active control dev...

In this study, operation of compressor station has been investigated by exergy approach. Exergy analysis is a thermodynamic method which shows the irreversibility of a system quantitatively. Gas compressors are used to compensate the pressure drop along the gas pipeline significantly. The compression process causes temperature rise of gas; in this regard gas cooler is applied to reduce the temp...
