Both computational and experimental investigations were utilized to study the flow behavior inside the four-stage centrifugal compressor. Computational study was carried out by the commercial code "CFD-RC". Experimental work was accomplished by the use of a data acquisition system, advanced sensors and "LabView" interface software. Comparisons between computational and experimental outputs were performed.The computational code was validated experimentally and numerically. Compressor map was drawn numerically and experimentally. Surge was unsteadily simulated. Surge predicted at mass flow equal to 0.0093 kg/s for 12,000 rpm with full-domain solution. Using the parallel computational technology, by "HPC" program, is recommended for future work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
