Axial Compressor
Could an axial compressor be used as effective vacuum pump?

Q: I have space constraints that limit the use of a radial pump for creating a vacuum in a room. Could an axial compressor be used as effective vacuum pump? Thank you.

A: It depends on what level of vacuum. If you're just trying to draw a few inches of mercury, then yes. If you are talking high vacuum, then you must use a turbo molecular pump (which is an axial flow device).

at extremities of the operating envelope of the axial compressor it may stall or surge. what conditions cause this ?? please I need help


The compressor blades on an axial compressor are basically just wings moving around in a little circle. They are cambered and have an angle of attack just like the big wings. Because of that, they can actually exceed a critical angle of attack when

does axial compressor blades needs to be cooled? If yes, what are the methods used?

Im into design of an axial flow compressor. So i want to know whether blade cooling is necessary for it.


It would depend on the inlet temperature, the degree of compression and the temperature resistance of the blade material, since you haven't given any of these, all I can say is; maybe, maybe not, I suspect not is more likely.

Does anyone know where I can locate a "breakdown" model of a gas turbine engine with axial compressor?

I need this to use as a resource for teaching purposes. Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney etc don't appear to offer such items.


I think you could get one from the Breakdown of a Gas Turbine Engine with Axial Compressor shop. Google them.
