Example 4.1
The following data are suggested as a basis for
the design of a single-sided centrifugal
compressor:
Power input factor = =1.04
Slip factor = 0.9
Rotational speed, N= 290 rev/s
Overall diameter of impeller, D=0.5m
Eye tip diameter=2re=De=0.3m
Eye root diameter, D1=2r1=0.15m
Air mass flow, m=9 kg/s
Inlet stagnation temperature To1= 295
Inlet stagnation pressure Po1 = 1.1 bar
Isentropic efficiency, c=0.78
Centrifugal Compressors
Requirements are
(a) to determine the pressure ratio of the
compressor and the power required to drive
it assuming that the velocity of the air at inlet
is axial.
(b) to calculate the inlet angle of the impeller
vanes at the root and tip of the radii of the
eyes, assuming that the axial inlet velocity is
constant across the eye annulus; and
(c) to estimate the axial depth of the impeller
channels at the periphery of the impeller.

This is a good agreement and a further trial
using Ca1=143 m/s is unnecessary because a
small change in C has little effect upon .
For this reason, it is more accurate to use the
final value 143 m/s, rather than the mean of 145
m/s ( the trial value) and 143 m/s.
The vane angles can now be calculated as
follows:
Centrifugal Compressors
at root=tan-1(143/136.5)=46.33,
at tip =tan-1143/273=27.65
(c) the shape of the impeller channel between eye and
tip is very much a matter of trial and error.
The aim is to obtain as uniform a change of flow velocity
up the channel as possible, avoiding local decelerations
up the trailing face of the vane.
To estimate the density at the impeller tip, the static
pressure and temperature are found by calculating the
absolute velocity at this and using it in conjunction with
the stagnation pressure which is calculated from the
assumed loss up to this point.

The Diffuser:
In the case of gas turbine, the air should exit the
diffuser and enters the combustion chamber at
minimum velocity.
Thus, design of diffuser requires that only a small
part of strengthening temperature is K.E. normally
u=90m/s at exit of the compressor.
rapid divergence is not recommended
optimum angle is 7.0.
Centrifugal Compressors
Example 4.2
Consider the design of a diffuser for the compressor
dealt with in the previous example. The following
additional data will be assumed:
Radial width of vaneless space wd =
5 cm
Approximate mean radius of diffuser throat, rm =0.033m
Depth of diffuser passages dd
1.76
Number of diffuser vanes nv
12
Required are (a) the inlet angle of the diffuser vanes and
(b) the throat width of the diffuser passages which are
assumed to be of constant depth
(a)Consider conditions at the radius of the diffuser
vane leading edges, at r2=0.25+0.05=0.3m. Since
in the vaneless space r Cw =constant for constant
angular momentum,

we try to avoid this by having guide vanes and it is better
to be variable in the case of change of conditions, such
as altitude.

Vaneless diffusers:
For vaneless diffuser, no problem, it can handle
supersonic flow while vaned diffuser cant.
At the exit of the vaneless diffuser, C3=355,
M2=0.56<1.0, which is subsonic and is ok for vaned
diffuser.
Advantages of vane less diffuser:
Mach number M2 could be supersonic without
Vaneless space will eliminate any non-uniformity of
the flow coming out of the impeller ( jets and wakes).
This is good to avoid any problem in exciting the
vanes.
As a normal practice, no. of vanes in the diffuser is
less than impeller blades.

Stall
Defined as the (aerodynamic stall) or the breakaway of the flow from the suction side of the blades.
A multi-staged compressor may operate safely with
one or more stages stalled and the rest of the
stages unstalled . but performance is not optimum.
Due to higher losses when the stall is formed.
Surge
Is a special fluctuation of mass flow rate in and out
of the engine. No running under this condition.
Surge is associated with a sudden drop in delivery
pressure and with violent aerodynamic pulsation
which is transmitted throughout the whole machine.
