Investigation of Two-Stage Counterrotating Compressor. 3: Design of Second-Stage Rotor and Preliminary Over-All Performance (open access)

Investigation of Two-Stage Counterrotating Compressor. 3: Design of Second-Stage Rotor and Preliminary Over-All Performance

At the design speed of a two-stage counterrotating compressor, an overall average pressure ratio of 4.3 was obtained at a specific weight flow of 27.2 pounds per second per square foot frontal area with an adiabatic efficiency of 0.75. Preliminary tests indicate that a weight-flow mismatching exists between the two rotors that causes the first rotor to operate at less than peak efficiency at design speed. At lower speeds, the first stage was forced to operate in the stalled region in single-stage tests. With the second rotor installed, no periodic rotating stall was observed, although random fluctations of similiar magnitude were noted.

Investigation of two-stage air-cooled turbine suitable for flight at Mach number of 2.5 1: Velocity-diagram study (open access)

Investigation of two-stage air-cooled turbine suitable for flight at Mach number of 2.5 1: Velocity-diagram study

Report presenting a two-stage air-cooled turbine configuration and its velocity diagrams for use in the design of blade shapes for a set of engine conditions suitable for flight at Mach number 2.5. The method used to determine the velocity diagrams was one in which the turbine frontal areas and rotor hub inlet and outlet velocities were minimized by varying the hub-tip ratio, turbine- to compressor-tip-diameter ratio, and the work split between the first and second stages.
