Centrifugal compressor

Centrifugal compressors, sometimes called impeller compressors or radial compressors, are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery.They achieve pressure rise by adding energy to the continuous flow of fluid through the rotor/impeller. The following equation shows this specific energy input. A substantial portion of this energy is kinetic which is converted to increased potential energy/static pressure by slowing the flow through a diffuser. The static pressure rise in the impeller may roughly equal the rise in the diffuser. Equation-0.1 H = ω ( ( R C θ ) 2 − ( R C θ ) 1 ) {\displaystyle H={\omega }\left(\left(R{C\theta }\right)_{2}-\left(R{C\theta }\right)_{1}\right)} where the control volume nomenclature (illustrated in Figure-0.4) is: 1 subscript, is the impeller inlet location, station1 2 subscript, is the impeller discharge/exit location, station2 H is the energy input per unit mass, units=(LP/m) ω is the impeller's rotation speed, units=(radians/t) R is the radius of specified location, units=(L) C is velocity of fluid/gas velocity at specified location, units=(L/t) θ is the tangential vector component in polar coordinate system
