Summary

The laws of gas dynamics, that is, the fluid dynamics of compressible flows, that are relevant to understand compressible flow in channels of variable area and in turbocompressor blade rows are introduced. The theory of one-dimensional compressible flow in variable area ducts is developed. The mass-flow function or corrected flow per unit area is introduced. The variation of the pressure in a nozzle at different back pressures is described. The one-dimensional approach is used to describe the nature of choking, expansion waves and shock waves. Special emphasis is given on the nature of the transonic flow and shock structure at inlet to a radial compressor inducer and how this is affected by the blade shape and the operating conditions. The gas dynamics of flows of real gases are considered.
