An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases. It is a rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working...

on a shaft (see axial piston pump). Household, home workshop, and smaller job site compressors are typically reciprocating compressors 1.5 hp (1.1 kW)...

basic categories of gas turbine engine compressor: axial compressor, centrifugal compressor and mixed flow compressor. A fourth, unusual, type is the free-piston...

impeller axially from left to right. This turboshaft (or turboprop) impeller is rotating counter-clockwise when looking downstream into the compressor. The...

A compressor stall is a local disruption of the airflow in the compressor of a gas turbine or turbocharger. A stall that results in the complete disruption...

Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors. The term describes violent air flow oscillating...

of an axial compressor at the same time. They also occur in a centrifugal compressor at entry to the impeller and in the diffuser. The compressor design...

The patent showed a two-stage axial compressor feeding a single-sided centrifugal compressor. Practical axial compressors were made possible by ideas from...

screw compressor Rotary vane pump Scroll compressor Centrifugal (roto-dynamic or turbo) compressor Axial compressor, often used in jet engines. Another way...

Dry weight: 3,035 pounds (1,377 kg) Compressor: Dual Spool Axial compressor with 3-stage fan, 10-stage compressor Combustors: annular Turbine: 2-stage...

design to be based on an axial-flow compressor. It was an extremely advanced design for the era, using a nine-stage axial compressor, annular combustor, and...

runs around a shaft, as in a watermill. An axial turbine has a similar construction as an axial compressor, but it operates in the reverse, converting...

production turbojet engine in operational use, and the first successful axial compressor turbojet engine. Some 8,000 units were manufactured by Junkers in Germany...

(32 cm) Dry weight: 101.5 lb (46 kg) Compressor: Single stage axial compressor, single stage centrifugal compressor Combustors: Annular Turbine: Single...

An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe. The propeller can be driven...

ramp and inlet cone, which are more complex, heavy and expensive. Axial compressors rely on spinning blades that have aerofoil sections, similar to aeroplane...

712 kg (14,797 lb) Compressor: 24 swept wide-chord hollow titanium fan blades, 8.8:1 by-pass ratio; five-stage low-pressure axial compressor; nine-stage high-pressure...

Wilde, a Rolls-Royce compressor designer, had applied for a patent "Axial flow compressor regulation" "to provide a compressor with a wide speed-range...

multiple combustion cans. The GE axial compressor design was directly influenced by NACA with their 8-stage compressor. NACA had developed the theory and...

Electric/Allison J35 was the United States Air Force's first axial-flow (straight-through airflow) compressor jet engine. Originally developed by General Electric...
