Abstract: The design of an axial flow compressor stage has been formulated as a nonlinear mathematical programming problem with the objective of minimizing the aerodynamic losses and the weight of the ...

Abstract: Turbomachinery flows can nowadays be investigated using several numerical techniques to solve the full set of Navier-Stokes equations; nevertheless the accuracy in the computation of losses is ...

Abstract: A new technique is presented for the design optimization of an axial-flow compressor stage. The procedure allows for optimization of the complete radial distribution of the geometry, since the ...

Abstract: The experimental analysis performed on several small size low area ratio aircraft fuel jet pumps in JP4 is outlined. The variables investigated were area ratio, nozzle and throat diameters, ...
