sure rise of 8 in. wg and an air weight density of pg = 0.053 lbf/ft°.
Develop a centrifugal flow path for an SWSI configuration. Use
the optimal d/D ratio for minimum W1, estimate the slip using
the Stodola formula (µE ~ 0.9), assume polytropic density change
across the blade row (using Cordier efficiency), and size the impeller
outlet width by constraining 25° < B* < 35°.
