Question: Problem 2 : Consider a and axial compressor with tip radius of 0 . 3 m . Air enters the stage axially ( no rotation

Problem 2:
Consider a and axial compressor with tip radius of 0.3 m . Air enters the stage axially (no rotation) at 140ms with a total temperature of 230C and a total pressure of 390 kPa . The design limit of relative Mach number at the tip is 0.82 and the allowable air deflection angle is 15 while the stage efficiency is 85%. Assume the compressor is operating at deign condition with work done factor of 0.87 with Cp=1.02kJkgK,R=0.287kJkgK and =1.38, find:
a) The maximum rotational speed of the rotor and blade angles at leading ant trailing edges.
b) The maximum pressure ratio.
c) The degree of reaction.
d) Consider free vortex mode at rotor exit, find the design angles and degree of reaction at the hub for hub to tip ratio of 0.8.
e) The required power input to the stage.
f) If the relative Mach number limit at the tip is increased to 0.83 what will be to total pressure ratio and the required power input.
For all problems draw the blade cross section using NACA 4 digit airfoil generator and the velocity triangles.
