Join ADT on June, 3Oth at 9 AM or 4 PM BST for this exclusive 
webinar.

The aerodynamic optimization of centrifugal compressors 
requires better understanding of different sources of loss. 
In this webinar, we will use entropy production rate to 
distinguish the different sources of loss in a subsonic and a 
transonic centrifugal compressor impeller under different 
operating conditions. The key loss mechanisms distinguished 
are skin friction, secondary flow, shockwave and tip 
clearance losses. In order to demonstrate the method in each 
case the flow field in an initial and optimized geometry is 
compared. The methodology presented should help designers to 
understand the main sources of loss under different operating 
conditions.
