The effect of Pressure ratio on the Compression work done by an Axial flow Compressors

An axial flow compressor is under investigation and an in-house axial compressor is designed for this study. Therefore, the analysis and the effect of pressure ratio on the compression work done by an axial compressor suitable for understanding the aerodynamics activities in an aero-engine is presented. The axial compressor is designed and adapted in such a way that the air intake unit and the compression unit carried out work simultaneously thereby minimizing delayed time and enhancing pressure analysis. The key principal unit of the compressor namely intake, stator, blade, shaft, and casing are designed for efficient operation, ease of assembly, and disassembly. The pressure ratio of the compressor, the outlet temperature, and the compression work done was detected to be 2 bars, 366.93 K, and 79.32 kJ/kg respectively. The basic results of the effect of pressure ratio increase on the compression work done by the compressor agree with the results in literatures. Proper application of this axial compressor can be ensured by further analyses of increasing the pressure ratio to ascertain the effect on the work done. The axial compressor used in this study is feasible for the aerodynamic study of the essence of an axial flow compressor in an aero-engine.
