5. An experimental centrifugal compressor is fitted with free-vortex guide vanes in order to reduce the relative air speed at inlet to the impeller. At the outer radius of the eye. air leaving the guide-vanes has a velocity of 91.5 m/s at 20 deg to the axial direction. Determine the inlet relative Mach number, assuming frictionless flow through the guide vanes, and the impeller total-to-total efficiency. Other details of the compressor and its operating conditions are: Impeller entry tip diameter. 0.457 m Impeller exit tip diameter. 0.762 m Slip factor 0.9 Radial component of velocity at impeller exit. 53.4m/s Rotational speed of impeller. 11 000 rev/min Static pressure at impeller exit. 223 kPa (abs.)
