  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. The ...

  3. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    While fully developed compressor surge is axisymmetric, its initial phase is not necessarily axisymmetric. Actually, severe damage of compressor surge is often related to very large transverse loads on blades and casing in its initial transient. [7] A chain reaction of compressor surge is the flameout of a jet engine. Due to a lack of air ...

  4. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Surge control line is the line which works as the indicating line for the surge control mechanism so that surge can be prevented in the system and proper steps can be taken. The line can vary for different surge control systems as it is up to the system to decide the margin between operating point and the surge point. [13]

  5. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    The slightly kinked diagonal line on the main part of the map is known as the surge (or stall) line. Above this line is a region of unstable flow, which is an area best avoided. A compressor surge or compressor stall causes an abrupt reversal of airflow in the compressor. Compressor blades create a pumping action by working as airfoils.

  6. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    Good pipeline control (start-up and shut-down procedures). Water towers (used in many drinking water systems) or surge tanks help maintain steady flow rates and trap large pressure fluctuations. Air vessels such as expansion tanks and some types of hydraulic accumulators work in much the same way as water towers, but are pressurized. They ...

  7. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    In the case of airfoils, the pressure field modification results in an increase in pressure drag, and if severe enough will also result in stall and loss of lift, all of which are undesirable. For internal flows, flow separation produces an increase in the flow losses, and stall-type phenomena such as compressor surge, both undesirable ...

  8. Surge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge

    Surge (waves), transient or periodic motion in the direction of propagation, specially of a breaking wave or surf Terminal lucidity , also known as "the surge" in medicine, where a patient regains significant consciousness and energy immediately preceding their death

  9. Surge control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_control

    Surge control products have been used in many industries to protect the maximum working pressure of hydraulic system for decades. Typical applications for surge relief equipment is in pipelines at pump stations, receiving manifolds at storage facilities, back pressure control, marine loading/off loading, site specific applications where pressure surges are generated by the automation system ...
