| Summary: | Centrifugal compressor is an essential part that consist in the helicopter
engine, it is used to increase the pressure of the incoming air before enter the
combustion burner. Single stage of centrifugal compressor is used in most helicopter
application are due to their weight is light, the size is small and the pressure ratio is
high. There are many ways that can increase the performance of centrifugal
compressor, and one of the factors is the performance of the impeller. Impeller,
consists in the centrifugal compressor, is used to increase the energy level of the fluid
by whirling it outwards, thereby increasing the angular momentum of the fluid. Both
the static pressure and the velocity are increase within the impeller. Thus, a study
about the impeller performance will study in this project. Three different angle of
impeller blade are design using Solid Work drawing. Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) technique will used to simulate the three design impeller with different blade
angle. The comparisons to verify the design were made between the CFD simulation
results. In the end, the result should come out with the impeller blade angle that can
produce higher pressure ratio. |
