Design analysis of centrifugal compressor impeller vanes

Abstract

To determine the performance characteristics of centrifugal compressor impeller vane by optimising the shape of the forward impeller blade of the single sided centrifugal compressor through design modelling analysis thereby increasing the velocity and pressure of the compressor blade. The primary motivation behind this work is to plan an impeller with more productive execution considering streamlining the state of the forward impeller at the root and tip, which pack the approaching air at 500 rpm, where it then passes the pressurized air to the diffuser through the outlet situated at the end of the compressor, This pressurized air when it mixes with fuel, during combustion takes place in the combustion chamber the amount of burning rate will be high the to produce more efficiency as well as more amount of thrust is produced for accelerating the engine. The modelling is done using Catia v5 and simulation is done in Ansys Fluent 18.
