Résumé : |
A computer program developed by previous M.Sc students (1,2) has been applied to solve the equations governing the steady, inviscid and adiabatic flow on a hub to shroud (S2) streamsurface of the Eckardt centrifugal compressor.
The effects on the relative velocity distributions on the hub and shroud (and thus on the losses in the compressor) of varying the hub, shroud and blade shapes - for the same load on the Compressor - were investigated.
In trying to lessen surface diffusion in the Compressor, it was found that neither the shroud nor the blade shapes have a significant effect on diminishing flow deceleration along the hub and shroud and that only the hub shape need be varied to significantly reduce the diffusion.
A hub shape which leads to a much reduced diffusion than in the original Eckardt Compressor was therefore found by "trial and error".
Finally, a second computer program developed by another M.Sc. student (4), was used to assess the merits of the different designs obtained by varying the hub or shroud or blade shapes over the original design of the Eckardt centrifugal compressor.
This was done by comparing the turbulent boundary layer characteristics (i.e. form factor, displacement thickness, momentum thickness and energy thickness) on the hub and shroud of the compressors.
It was found that the design having a "trial and error hub" can be expected to experience more energy losses but to have a much higher operating flexibility than the original design of the Eckardt compressor. |
