  2. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Stiffness of the shaft and its support; Total mass of shaft and attached parts; Unbalance of the mass with respect to the axis of rotation; The amount of damping in the system; In general, it is necessary to calculate the critical speed of a rotating shaft, such as a fan shaft, in order to avoid issues with noise and vibration.

  3. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

    An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...

  4. Affinity laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_laws

    The affinity laws (also known as the "Fan Laws" or "Pump Laws") for pumps/fans are used in hydraulics, hydronics and/or HVAC to express the relationship between variables involved in pump or fan performance (such as head, volumetric flow rate, shaft speed) and power.

  5. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    The same operating point on the map has the same axial and peripheral mach numbers, same velocity triangles, same efficiency [23] despite the actual rotor speed and compressor inlet temperature being 4750 RPM/60degF on the ground and 7,000RPM/over 600 degF at Mach 3.

  6. Campbell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_diagram

    Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to safely ignore it. Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed. This case is also called "whirl speed map". [4] Such a chart can be used in turbine design.

  7. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    Axial compressor performance is shown on a compressor map, also known as a characteristic, by plotting pressure ratio and efficiency against corrected mass flow at different values of corrected compressor speed. Axial compressors, particularly near their design point are usually amenable to analytical treatment, and a good estimate of their ...

  8. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    axial stress, a normal stress parallel to the axis of cylindrical symmetry. radial stress , a normal stress in directions coplanar with but perpendicular to the symmetry axis. These three principal stresses- hoop, longitudinal, and radial can be calculated analytically using a mutually perpendicular tri-axial stress system.

    is the specific speed; Cordier diagram can be used to determine specific speed and impeller tip diameter . Accordingly solidity ratio and hub-tip ratio (range 0.3-0.7) can be adjusted. Solidity ratio generally falls in the range of 0.4-1.1
