Axial Compressor Design and Performance

Course structure Delivery of this course is through lectures, tutorials and a fully interactive hand worked design example coupled with a computer based design optimisation workshop. All delegates will receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completion of this course.
What you will learn

The aim of the course is to familiarise you with overall compressor design and performance principles through lectures, tutorials and a fully interactive hand worked design example coupled with a computer based design optimisation workshop. On completion of the course, you should be able to:

• select an appropriate shape and geometry for the compressor annulus diagram
• assess the interactions between aerodynamic and mechanical integrity requirements
• select the number of stages needed for a given overall pressure ratio
• assess the need for variable geometry, bleed, multi-shafting etc., to provide adequate off design performance.
