a single stage centrifugal compressor is to be designed that gives maximum overall static pressure ratio. The following design conditions must be considered:Fluid: air
Inlet stagnation pressure: kPa
inlet stagnation temperature: deg C
Specific heat ratio:
Gas constant: JkgK
Mass flow rate: kgs
Impeller inlet
Hubtoshroud radius ratio between and
Inlet swirl: deg
The inlet absolute and relative flow must be subsonic and conditions at inlet must be optimum.
Impeller exit
Tipradius to inlet shroudradius ratio Number of vanes:
Vane backsweep angle deg deg
Flow coefficient
Impeller efficiency
DiffuserType: Vaned
Channel geometry: D
Diffuser efficiency:
Neglect clerance between impeller tip and diffuser vanes
The diffuser exit radius should be less than threetimes the inlet shroud radius.surge free flow must be considered
The following must be determined
RPM
Impeller vane inlet angle
Impeller vane outlet angle
The radii
Axial width at impeller exit
Totaltototal efficiency
Shaft power
Overall static pressure ratio
