Question
A centrifugal compressor has the following operating characteristics:
mass flow rate=9 kg/sec
Slip factor = 0.9
Rotational speed = 290 rev/sec
Impeller diameter = 0.5m
Eye tip diameter = 0.3m
Eye root diameter = 0.15m
Inlet stagnation temperature = 295K
Inlet stagnation pressure = 1.1 bar
Overall isentropic efficiency = 0.78
Determine the following:
a) compressor pressure ratio,
b) inlet power required assuming no swirl at the inlet,
c) the inlet angle of the impeller vanes at the root and tip of the eye assuming the inlet velocity
is constant across the eye annulus,
d) the exit flow velocity,
e) blade angles at the tip and hub exit.
f) estimate the axial depth of the impeller channels at the periphery of the impeller.
8) draw a diagram of the compressor with labels and numbers for each section.
h) draw the velocity triangles at the entry and exit of the impeller on the compressor diagram.
i) draw the h-s diagram for the compressor using the same numbers as on your compressor
diagram.
