  2. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it.

  3. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors.The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative.

  4. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor. It shows changes in fluid pressure , temperature , entropy , flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.

  5. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.

  8. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    The buckling mode of deflection is considered a failure mode, and it generally occurs before the axial compression stresses (direct compression) can cause failure of the material by yielding or fracture of that compression member. However, intermediate-length columns will fail by a combination of direct compressive stress and bending. In ...

  9. Liquid slugging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_slugging

    Liquid slugging is the phenomenon of liquid entering the cylinder of a reciprocating compressor, a common cause of failure. [1] Under normal conditions, the intake and output of a compressor cylinder is entirely vapor or gas, when a liquid accumulates at the suction port liquid slugging can occur. As more of the practically incompressible ...
