A Rapid Method for Calculating the “Off-Design” Performance of Compressors and Turbines
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
A model for the calculation of the “off-design” performance of turbo-machines has been suggested by Mellor, who proposed that the machine be split into an infinite number of stages, each producing a small change in stagnation enthalpy. This note suggests that the overall performance of a machine may be obtained in an integral form which permits a rapid calculation of performance maps for rotational speeds and flow rates not greatly different from design values. The method may be of use in preliminary design studies of multi-stage compressors and turbines.
