5. A) Classify air compressor and enlist its applications in industry.
B) Show that axial flow compressor with 50% reaction has symmetrical bladings.

6. The centrifugal compressor of a gas turbine requires 3000 H.P. when running at 16000
rpm. The tip diameter of the impeller is 50 cm and the uniform width of casting of the

vortex chamber between impeller and diffuser is 4 cm. Measurement show that the

om
static pressure and temperature at a radius of 27 cm are 2.5Kgf/cm 2. Assuming slip
factor 0.94 and neglecting friction in-the vortex chamber, calculate the mass flow.
