QUESTION 9
In a jet engine rotor the high pressure axial compressor rotates at a speed of 15000 rpm. The
overall stagnation pressure ratio due to compression is 10:1. It was recorded that the air flows
at a rate of 16 kg/s. The stagnation properties at the inlet are 215 kPa and 460K. The poly-tropic
efficiency of the compressor is 90%
Assume the mean radius of the compressor is constant and equal to 0.25m. Calculate the total-
to-total isentropic efficiency of the compressor. Estimate the number of stages required, if the
stage loading to be less than 0.45
