Abstract:
Variable inlet guide vanes (VIGVs) can regulate pressure ratio and mass flow at constant rotational speed in centrifugal compressors as a result of inducing a controlled prewhirl in front of impellers. Radial inlets and VIGVs are typical upstream components in front of the first-stage impellers in many industrial centrifugal compressors. However, previous investigations on VIGVs in centrifugal compressors were mostly conducted under the condition of axial inlets, and this study aims to focus on the effects of radial inlet on the VIGVs performance of a centrifugal compressor stage. The axial in

Abstract:
The authors link together their previous experiences in gas turbine plant analysis and aerodynamic design of radial flow compressors. In recent papers they have introduced a method for the performance estimation of gas turbine engines, based on the prediction of the matching conditions among the several components in the whole operating range. On the other hand they have expressly paid attention to the problem of optimal design of radial flow compressors for satisfactory operation within an assigned operating range. In this paper, the authors present an integrated method, which aims to define

Abstract:
Piston dynamics plays a fundamental role in two critical processes related to fluid flow in reciprocating compressors. The first is the refrigerant leakage through the radial clearance, which may cause considerable loss in the pumping efficiency of the compressor. The second process is the viscous friction associated with the lubricant film in the radial clearance; certainly a significant factor in the compressor energy consumption. In the present contribution a numerical simulation of the piston movement inside the cylinder of a reciprocating compressor is performed. The compressor considered

Abstract:
Regenerative flow compressors (RFCs) are rotodynamic machines capable of producing high heads at very low flowrates. They have very low specific speed and share some of the characteristics of positive displacement machines such as a roots blower, but without the problems of lubrication and wear. They can produce heads equivalent to that of several centrifugal stages from a single rotor with comparable tip speed. The compression process is usually not regarded as efficient. Typically they produce efficiency of less than 50 per cent but still they have found many applications because they allow

Abstract:
The flow characteristics of a vaned diffuser typical of those currently used in centrifugal compressors have been determined experimentally by using a static diffuser test rig. The vortex test vehicle (VTV) portion of this rig was used to simulate the essential features of the flow leaving the impeller of an actual compressor. The mean flow phenomena at the diffuser entrance and the static pressure recovery along the diffuser passage have been determined. In addition, the flow angle and Mach number distributions at several key locations throughout the diffuser channel have been obtained. The m

The technology of high-pressure air or hot-gas impingement from stationary shroud supplementary nozzles onto radial outflow compressors and radial inflow turbines to permit rapid gas turbine starting or power boosting is discussed. Data are presented on the equivalent turbine component performance for convergent/divergent shroud impingement nozzles, which reveal the sensitivity of nozzle velocity coefficient with Mach number and turbine efficiency with impingement nozzle admission arc. Compressor and turbine matching is addressed in the transient turbine start mode with the possibility of oper

Abstract:
Radial inlet chambers are widely used in various multistage centrifugal compressors, although they induce extra flow loss and inlet distortions. In this paper, the detailed flow characteristics inside the radial inlet chamber of an industrial centrifugal compressor have been numerically investigated for flow control and performance improvement. First, the numerical results are validated against the experimental data, and flow conditions inside the inlet chambers with different structures are compared. They indicate that, in the non-guide vane scheme, sudden expansions, tangential flows and flo
