Effects of inlet conditions on centrifugal diffuser performance
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1997], 1997)This report examines the influence of inlet flow conditions, including Mach number, flow angle, blockage, and axial flow non-uniformity, on the performance and operating range of a straight channel centrifugal compressor ... -
Experimental investigation of flow distortion effects on the performance of radial discrete-passage diffusers
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)A swirling-radial-flow generator has been developed for the study of fluid-dynamic phenomena in radial passage- and vaneless-diffusers. A unique feature of the swirling-flow generator is the capability of providing a wide ... -
Role of flow alignment and inlet blockage on vaned diffuser performance
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997, 1997)A computational investigation of the effects of inlet conditions on straight-channel diffuser performance is undertaken. The steady, three-dimensional, Navier-Stokes solver used for the investigation is found to adequately ...
