Certain Conclusions from Calculations for the Axially Symmetric Approximation of Flow Through the Impeller Disk of a Radial Flow Compressor Including Allowance for Friction,

Abstract

This empirical study of airflow in the rotor chamber of an experimental radial air compressor includes the effects of hydraulic loss by friction and represents an attempt to increase exit velocity and thus decrease losses in the diffuser of a gas turbine. The Navier-Stokes equation for viscosity is solved through analysis of vectors, centripetal and Coriolis acceleration and thermodynamic effects on a steady flow. (Author)
