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: 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 ...
