13. Role of specific Speed on Design of A Compressor

14. Centrifugal Compressors The centrifugal compressor consists essentially of a stationary casing containing a rotating impeller which imparts a high velocity to the air, and A number of diverging passages (Diffuser) in which the air is decelerated with a consequent rise in static pressure. Air is sucked into the impeller eye and whirled round at high speed by the vanes on the impeller disc. Centripetal acceleration leads to increase in rise of some amount of static pressure. The remaining increase in rise of pressure occurs in diffuser.
