Compressor Design

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

In Mr. J. M. Stephenson's Technical Note, “ The Elimination of Wall Effects in Axial-Flow Compressor Stages,” in the April 1953 issue of the Journal, the author suggests that the blade rows of an axial flow compressor are so closely spaced as to ensure that the axial velocity profile is unchanged across the rows. Whether this statement is correct or not such an assumption regarding the axial velocity profile is a basic design condition and when made it will not leave any flexibility in the choice of the function f(r).
