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.

    A rational basis for circumferential distortion index formulation 

    Downs, Charles Patrick (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1974-06);
    NASA has recently published data on the effects of temperature and pressure distortion on the stability of axial-flow compressors. Theoretical predictions of compressor instability based on vorticity do not explain the ...

    The mechanism of radial compressor instability 

    Winner, Crawford Douglas (Troy, New York; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1951-05);
    The limit imposed on the operating range of a radial flow compressor by surging or pulsations in the reduced flow region has long been a source of concern to design engineers who would like to use this otherwise simple, ...

    Experimental determination of the relative flow at the tip of a transonic axial compressor rotor 

    Cornell, David William (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-09);
    The goal in the present work was to examine the flow through the tip section of a transonic compressor rotor in three different ways: (1) using high response instrumentation in the compressor itself, (2) using a blow-down ...
