Abstract: The results of extensive laser measurements carried out in the blade passages of a newly designed backswept impeller are presented and discussed. Noticeable distortions of the throughflow patterns ...

Abstract: A computer-aided design method (CAD) has been developed for radially ending and backswept centrifugal compressor impellers. The geometrical concept introduced for generating the impeller geometry ...

Abstract: The flow field development within a centrifugal compressor stage was analyzed using an advanced laser velocimetry [4]. A splitter blade impeller coupled with a vaned and vaneless diffuser has ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional viscous flow field of a 4.7:1 pressure ratio backswept impeller was studied experimentally and numerically by using laser velocimetry and an advanced three-dimensional viscous ...

Abstract: Cycle studies carried out for the medium pressure ratio gas turbine THM 1304 of 10 MW power output manufactured by MAN Turbomaschinen AG GHH BORSIG predicted that the overall efficiency of ...
