Effect of Relative Velocity Distribution on Efficiency and Exit Flow of Centrifugal Impellers

The major problem for designing centrifugal compressors is to attain high stage efficiency as well as a wide operating range. High stage efficiency is customarily attained by the optimization of design parameters using a one-dimensional loss analysis including the relationship between the flow behavior and total pressure losses for limited types of compressors.Copyright © 1983 by ASME
