8.6 A single sided centrifugal compressor is to deliver 14 kg of air per second when operating at a pressure ratio of 4:1 and a speed of 12,000 rpm. The total head inlet conditions may be taken as 288 K and 1.033 kgf/cm?. Assuming a slip factor as 0.9, a power input factor of 1.04 and an isentropic efficiency (based on total head) of 80%, estimate the overall diameter of the impeller. If the Mach number is not to exceed unity at the impeller tip and 50% of the losses are assumed to occur in the impeller, find the minimum possible depth of the diffuser.

9.2 The inlet stagnation temperature of a centrifugal compressor rotating at 10,000 rpm is 20°C. The inlet flow is axial and the blades are radially tipped at the exit. It is required to produce a stagnation pressure ratio of 2.8 when the total to total effi- ciency is 0.85. It has 19 blades and a mass flow rate of 3.0 kg/s. Through measure- ments, the density of air at the exit of the impeller is found to be 1.5 kg/m³. The width of the blades at the exit is 1 cm. Calculate the following: (a) power required to drive the compressor, (b) diameter of the impeller, and (c) absolute Mach num- ber at the exit. Use Stanitz's equation for the slip coefficient.

You have been asked to help with the low-pressure compressor (LPC) design for a turbofan engine with a bypass ratio of 8.4. The preliminary cycle design calls for the LPC to produce a pressure ratio of 9.4 with the following operating conditions and constraints. .Inlet Conditions TO2 Poz Core Air Mass Flowrate (kg/s) (K) (kPa) 282 24.6 47.0 Design Constraints Maximum Polytropic Efficiency 94.1% Maximum Stage Pr 1.55 Estimate the minimum number of stages required for this LPC. Then assuming the 1st stage of the LPC operates at the maximum allowable pressure ratio, determine the stagnation temperature exiting the 1st stage, and the stage's adiabatic efficiency. Also determine the power (W) required to operate the full LPC (not just 1st stage). Finally, what would be the percent change in the required power if the polytropic efficiency was only 90.0%.
