Abstract: Fluid loss caused by leaks through the impeller tip clearance was investigated for a centrifugal compressor. Operating conditions, Reynolds number, and clearance were varied independently during ...

Abstract: The influences of Reynolds number on performance characteristics of centrifugal compressor were examined for various impeller configurations, that is, a double shrouded impeller with straight radial ...

Abstract: The effects of inlet distortion on the inducer stall in a centrifugal compressor are investigated. Cases of both radial and circumferential distortion are investigated. It is shown that the ...

Abstract: Behavior of uniform shear flow in rectangular parallel-walled diffusers and its effects on the diffuser performance were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Velocity and static ...

Abstract: An experimental radial-inflow turbine having a pressure ratio of 2:1 was constructed, and the effect of dimensional parameters of an impeller was examined by performance tests of the turbine ...

Abstract: The present paper concerns itself with the effects of total pressure (and thus velocity) distortion on performance characteristics and surge margin of centrifugal compressors. Both radial and ...

Abstract: Investigations of the pulsating flow performances of an inward radial flow turbine were performed. The quasi-steady flow performances predicted from the measured transient pressure ratio and from ...

Abstract: To investigate the effects of Coriolis force on two-dimensional laminar and turbulent boundary layers, quantitative experiments were performed. A numerical evaluation was also carried out utilizing ...
