    Homework 7

    Due: Friday, Oct. 22nd

    1.) Calculate the blade height, h, for an IGV that provides 20° of pre-whirl to a
    compressor rotor which spins at 20,000 rpm, with a tip relative Mach number of 1.2. The
    compressor has a mass flow rate of 25 lbm/s. The IGV inlet conditions are Po1 = 14.7 psi
    & To1 = 59°F. Use gas constants for air to be: γ=1.4, R=53.33 ft-lbf/lbm-°R, and cp =
    0.24 Btu/lbm-°R. Hint: the blade height, h = r1T – r1H.

    2.) The design point velocity diagrams for a turbine stage are shown below. It is a
    repeating stage. The air through the turbine has gas constants: cp = 1.005 kJ/kg-K and γ =
    1.4. The wheel speed, U, is 215 m/s, and the axial velocity, Vx, is 90 m/s. The stage inlet
    stagnation temperature is 360K, the inlet stagnation pressure is 20 psia, and the stage total
    pressure ratio is Po3/Po1 = 0.495.

    a.) Calculate the flow coefficient and loading coefficient at design point.
    b.) Graph the simple stage turbine characteristic and indicate the slope of the
    characteristic.
    c.) At an off-design condition, the axial velocity is decreased to 65 m/s. Calculate
    the flow coefficient at off-design, the loading coefficient at off-design, and
    indicate this off-design point on your graph.
    d.) On top of the velocity triangles shown below, sketch the velocity triangles at off-
    design.
    e.) Calculate the degree of reaction for this turbine stage.
