Abstract
A flow configuration of an existing low-speed, axial flow compressor
test facility at the Turbopropulsion Laboratory, Naval Postgraduate
School, Monterey, California, was redesigned in order to improve compressor
inlet velocity distribution, improve mass flow measurement, and
increase the power input. The design of the new configuration, consisting
of an inlet nozzle, ducting, throttling device upstream of the compressor,
and a diffusor downstream of it, is reported. The redesign is
based on using the existing free-vortex type and solid-body type bladings,
and the newly designed symmetrical blading.
