Selection of Design Parameters • A high pressure rise per stage will decrease the number of stages for a given overall pressure rise. • A high pressure rise per stage is obtained using: • High blade speed. • High inlet flow velocity. • High fluid deflection in rotor blades.
Blade Speed • For a given rotor speed the velocity of the blade at the tip will be maximum. • The centrifugal stress in the rotor blades depends on the rotational speed, the blade material and length of the blade. • The maximum centrifugal stress is given by, • b, hub-tip diameter ratio. • K varies in the range 0. 55 – 0. 65.
