Question
A centrifugal compressor has the following operating characteristics:
mass flow rate=9 kg/sec
Slip factor = 0.9
Rotational speed = 290 rev/sec
Impeller diameter = 0.5m
Eye tip diameter = 0.3m
Eye root diameter = 0.15m
Inlet stagnation temperature = 295K
Inlet stagnation pressure = 1.1 bar
Overall isentropic efficiency = 0.78
Determine the following:
a) compressor pressure ratio,
b) inlet power required assuming no swirl at the inlet,
c) the inlet angle of the impeller vanes at the root and tip of the eye assuming the inlet velocity
Is constant across the eye annulus,
d) the exit flow velocity,
