Extract

Two design conditions for an axial flow compressor stage are proposed and examined. These are, the constant reaction condition (incorporating I “ radial equilibrium ”), and the condition that the Mach number at inlet to the rotor shall be invariant with radius. In addition, the combination of these two properties in one stage is considered. It is found, with further assumptions regarding the nature of the flow, that a forced vortex type of flow will satisfy both design specifications. The forced vortex solutions for the various cases are presented, and for constant Mach number at inlet to the rotor, more general solutions are given.
