Performance of 15-Stage Experimental J71 Axial-Flow Compressor. 3 - Effects of Inlet-Guide-Vane Adjustment

The stall-limit line at low speeds was improved somewhat by closing the inlet guide vanes 6 deg, while the design-speed maximum flow and pressure ratio were reduced. The first-stage characteristic curve was moved to lower values of both flog coefficient and equivalent pressure ratio. The second-stage pressure ratio was decreased slightly at high speeds, while the later stages were unaffected.
