A Multi-Stage Compressor Test Facility: Uncertainty Analysis and Preliminary Test Results

A multi-stage compressor test-facility, fully instrumented with its dedicated data acquisition and processing system, has been developed to conduct experimental research work at the University of Ferrara. This paper provides a systematic description of the uncertainty analysis procedures required for compressor testing, including preliminary performance test results, in addition to a brief description of the test facility and its capabilities.Copyright © 2003 by ASME
