• Power available, 𝑃 = 475 𝑘𝑊
• Outer diameter, 𝐷 = 500 𝑚𝑚
• Speed, 𝑁 = 21 000 𝑅𝑃𝑀
• Blade angle, 𝛽2 = 26.5°
• Exit flow velocity, 𝐶𝑟2 = 132 𝑚/𝑠
• Mechanical efficiency, 𝜂 = 80%
• No slip, 𝛽2′ = 𝛽2
• Radius ratio = 0.3
• Inlet velocity, 𝐶1 = 75 𝑚/𝑠
𝑝
• Overall pressure ratio, 𝑝03 = 5.5

Solution:
𝜋𝑁𝐷2
𝑈2 =
60
𝜋(21 000)(0.500)
𝑈2 =
60
∴ 𝑈2 = 549.779 𝑚/𝑠
𝐶𝑥2 = 𝑈2 − 𝐶𝑟2 tan(𝛽2 )
𝐶𝑥2 = 549.779 − 132 tan (26.5°)
∴ 𝐶𝑥2 = 483.966 𝑚/𝑠
𝑊/𝑚 = 𝑈2 𝐶𝑥2 − 𝑈1 𝐶𝑥1
∴ 𝐶𝑥1 = 0 𝑚/𝑠
∴ 𝑊/𝑚 = 𝑈2 𝐶𝑥2
𝑊/𝑚 = (549.779)(483.966)
𝑊/𝑚 = 266074.1735
∴ 𝑚 = 𝑊/266074.1735 𝑚3 /𝑠

𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 𝜂 × 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒
𝑊 = (475)(103 )(0.80)
∴ 𝑊 = 380000 𝑊 = 380 𝑘𝑊
380.000
𝑚=
266.074
∴ 𝑚 = 1.428 𝑘𝑔/𝑠
𝑚 = 𝜌1 𝐴1 𝐶1
𝑚 = 𝜋𝜌1 (𝑟12 − 𝑟ℎ2 )𝐶1
𝑟12
∴ 𝑚 = 𝜋𝜌1 𝑟ℎ2 ( − 1) 𝐶1

𝜌1 =

𝜌1 =

∴ 𝜌1 = 1.226 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3

𝑟ℎ =

𝜋(1.226) ((0.3) − 1) (75)
∴ 𝑟ℎ = 0.0221 𝑚 = 22.117 𝑚𝑚
∴ 𝐻𝑢𝑏 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 44.233 𝑚𝑚
22.117
∴ 𝑟1 = = 73.722 𝑚𝑚

∴ 𝑇𝑖𝑝 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 147.444 𝑚𝑚
