Question
In the compressor side of a turbocharger, the radial component
of the velocity at the exit...
In the compressor side of a turbocharger, the radial component
of the velocity at the exit of a radial vaned impeller is 28 m/s
and the slip factor is 0.9. The impeller tip speed is 350 m/s. The
impeller area is 0.08 m2 and the total-to-total efficiency is 90%.
Stagnation pressure and temperature at the inlet of the compressor
are 1 bar and 288 K. In the turbine side, the gases (with
stagnation conditions of 390 kPa and 1150 K) enter blades of the
turbine radially and leave without exit swirl. Blades of the
turbine at the inlet are radial. Inlet diameter of the turbine is
12.6 cm. The ratio of specific heats is 1.35 and outlet static
pressure is 150 kPa and the mass flow rate is 0.28 kg/s. Determine:
(a) exit Mach number of the compressor, (b) mass flow rate through
the compressor, (c) isentropic work of the turbine, (d) power
delivered by the turbine, (e) blade speed at the inlet of the
turbine.
