Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2017 > Centrifugal Compressors
A centrifugal compressor requires 1800 kW of power to compress 10 kg/s of air. Consider the whirl velocity component is equal to the impeller speed (ie., no slip) and no losses in the impeller. If the impeller has to rotate at 1900 rad/s. the diameter of the impeller is to be _______ m (in two decimal place).
Correct : 0.40 to 0.50
