Abstract:

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 approach, inlet flow conditions and compressor geometry are identified and by considering various compressor losses, velocity triangles at rotor, and stator inlets and outlets are determined, and then compressor performance characteristics are predicted. Numerous models have been developed theoretically and experimentally for estimating various types of compressor losses. In the present work, performance characteristics of the axial-flow compressor are predicted based on one-dimensional modeling approach. Firstly, the proposed algorithm for modeling and then the losses model for calculation of pressure loss coefficient in the blades cascade have been represented. In this study, models of Lieblein, Koch-Smith, Aungier, Hawell are implemented to consider the compressor losses. Finally, the model results are compared with experimental data to validate the model.

Inviscid Compressible Flow in Meridional Plane of an Axial Flow Compressor

In this paper it is attempted to investigate the behavior of an inviscid flow in the meridional plane of an axial flow compressor. For this purpose the 3-D unsteady Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate are averaged in tangential direction. Therefore, the equations are reduced to a 2-D system. By averaging the tangential component of momentum equation, a blade force will result. Axial and r...

A method of performance estimation for axial-flow turbines based on losses prediction

The main objective in this paper is creating a method for one-dimensional modeling of multi stage axial flow turbine. The calculation used in this technique is based on common thermodynamics and aerodynamics principles in a mean stream line analyses. In this approach, loss models have to be used to determine the entropy increase across each section in the turbine stage. Finally, the analysis an...
