Design of Compressor Blades Suitable for Transonic Axial-Flow Compressors Free

This paper deals with the development of a blade profile suitable for transonic axial-flow compressors. Development of new incidence and deviation rules incorporating thickness, Mach numbers, and position of maximum thickness corrections are fully explained. In addition, a step-by-step analysis for the calculation of the blade profile for a transonic compressor is presented. The design method outlined is easily adaptable for the digital computer. A flow chart of the procedure to facilitate programming has also been included.
