Determination of the blade-element performance of a small transonic rotor.
determinationofb00hawk.pdf (6.344Mb)Abstract
The blade-element performance of a small transonic
compressor rotor operating at high subsonic speeds is
reported. Measurements were made downstream using a small
calibrated pneumatic probe, with simultaneous measurements
of total pressure, velocity, turning angle, pitch angle,
and temperature. In addition, a program is presented to
calculate blade-element performance based on empirical data
contained in NASA SP-36.
