  2. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    Comparison of normal and distorted airflow into the compressor section [1] 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 of the airflow through the compressor is referred to as a compressor surge. The severity of the phenomenon ranges ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  8. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    When compressor surge happens, the operating point of a compressor, which is usually denoted by the pair of the mass flow rate and pressure ratio, orbits along a surge cycle on the compressor performance map. The unstable performance caused by compressor surge is not acceptable to machines on which a compressor is mounted to ventilate or dense air.
