Summary

Mathematical and experimental methods for estimating the relative eddy velocity in a radial bladed impeller channel have been determined to replace the empirical velocity so far used in designing and predetermining the performance. The effect of this relative eddy velocity on rotor performance has been experimentally determined on a specially designed compressor and compared with mathematical calculation.
