single-stage centrifugal compressor
1single-stage compressor — A centrifugal compressor having a single impeller wheel, with vanes either on one or on both sides of the wheel. Also, an axial flow compressor with one row of rotor blades and one row of stator blades. Axial flow compressors are normally… …
2centrifugal compressor — A compressor in which the airflow is radial air flows to the center of the impeller and is slung outward by the centrifugal force into the diffuser, where its velocity is decreased and its pressure increased. A centrifugal compressor is robust,… …
3Gas compressor — A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are… …
4Centrifugal pump — Warman centrifugal pump in a coal preparation plant application A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to create flow by the addition of energy to a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids… …
5Axial compressor — Axial compressors are rotating, aerofoil based compressors in which the working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation. This is in contrast with centrifugal, axi centrifugal and mixed flow compressors where the air may enter… …
6Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 — The PT6, manufactured by Pratt Whitney Canada, is the most popular turboprop aircraft engine in history. [ [http://www.utc.com/profile/facts/history.htm United Technologies history] ] It is produced in a wide variety of models, covering the power …
7Heinkel HeS 011 — The Heinkel HeS 011 was an advanced World War II jet engine built by Heinkel Hirth. It featured a unique compressor arrangement, combining a three stage axial compressor with a diagonal stage similar to a centrifugal compressor, along with a low… …
8Klimov RD-500 — The Klimov RD 500 was an unlicensed Soviet version of the Rolls Royce Derwent Mk.V turbojet developed by the Klimov OKB in 1947. The 500 designation came from Factory Number 500 where the engine was first produced (Klimov RD 45 was similarly… …
9Cheng Xu — Dr. Cheng Xu is a Chinese American aerodynamic design engineer. He is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers Fellow and a member of Technical Committee on Energy and Power Systems, IASTED.[1] Xu has made important contributions to the… …
10Williams International F107 — The Williams F107 is a small turbofan engine made by the Williams International company. The F107 was derived from the Williams WR19 and designed to power cruise missiles. It has been used as the powerplant for the AGM 86 ALCM, BGM 109 Tomahawk,… …
