Abstract

The effect of blade stagger angle on the performance of a transonic compressor with low hub-tip ratio is presented in the paper. Because the original single stage compressor failed to achieve the design target, tests were conducted on the compressor with the blades twisted and with the stagger angle reduced. The results of these tests indicate that at the design speed and mass flow, the pressure ratio is 1.339, the efficiency is 0.864, which is 2.2 percent better than the design value and 5 percent better than that of the original single stage. At the same time, the discharge total pressure and temperature profiles are improved substantially. The unevenness of the total pressure profile decreases from 18 to 7 percent and that of the total temperature from 53 to 18 percent.
