Gaps in compressors are generally unfavorable because they lead to energy loss.However,gaps on diffuser blades can broaden the operation range of a compressor.To broaden the operation range of a centrifugal compressor...
Performance of mixed flow compressor with un-shrouded impeller strongly depends upon unsteady, asymmetrical flow fields in the axial directions. The flow through the mixed flow impeller is complex due to three-dimensi...
A safety valve functions to control an upper limit of pressure inside the LNG line of transportation. If the pressure inside the safety valve nozzle exceeds a predetermined value on the valve sheet which plugs the noz...
In the present study, computational work using the axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations is carried out to predict the discharge coefficient and critical pressure ratio of gas flow through a critical noz...
