Problem #2
Axial Compressor Data
Speed of rotation (2) 28,000 rpm
Pressure ratio 8
Mean blade radius (rm) 0.25 m
Mass flow rate (m) 8 kg/s
Inlet stagnation pressure (po1) 100kPa
Inlet stagnation temperature (Tor) 288K
Stage loading (w) 0.32
Total-to-total efficiency (7) 0.78
Inlet swirl angle (a,) 15°
Inlet Mach number (M)
Given the above information for an axial compressor
a) Find the stagewise polytropic efficiency assuming equal work
and efficiency per stage
b) Estimate the minimum number of stages
c) Calculate the reaction (R)
If the turbine is rematched such that flow is redučed by 10% and
the swirl angle remains constant
d) Find the new stage loading (w) and reaction (R)
