Consider an axial compressor stage with design reaction, R = 0.6, flow coefficient, & = 0.5, and load coefficient, = 0.35. Build the velocity triangles for the stage, assuming constant axial velocity. Determine how R and y will change if the axial velocity is reduced by 10%, with rotation rate @ held constant. Assume that exit relative flow angles to each blade row (i.e., and 1) remain constant, and = V3. Assume the stage is operating on its ideal characteristic.
