The document discusses calculations related to the performance of compressors and turbines in aerodynamics, focusing on rotor tip speed, Mach numbers, and area computations. It includes detailed formulas and values for rotor tip speed, local speed of sound, and expansion ratios, as well as temperature and pressure calculations at various points in the turbine. The document is structured as a tutorial for students in the Aerospace Engineering Department at IIT Bombay, led by Professor Bhaskar Roy.

Tutorial-3the local speed of sound, az = (y.R.12)'/2 where, T2 = To2—
C22/ 2.cp = 707 K, so, a2 = 620 m/s
Hence, the nozzle exit Mach number M2 = 465/620 = 0.75
Area at the rotor tip A2=M1,,,/p2.V2r , where p2 = P2/R.T2
and P2 = Po2./(To2/T2) ”/@-)
Thus A2 is computed as = 0.0164 m2
width of the rotor tip is computed, b2 = A2/21r.r2= 0.013 m
The relative total temperature,
To2-rel = To2 — C22/2.cp + V22/2.cp = 1017 K
iii) The expansion ratio of the turbine at this operating
point, using the polytropic efficiency may be given as :

Prof Bhaskar Roy, ITB Tutorial-3 eatGiven that V2r = Ca3 = 159 m/s = V3; we can therefore
compute, M3-rel = V3/ (y.R.T3)"? = 0.267, = constant (r ).
At rotor exit A3 = M5 1p3.Ca3
[Use isentropic relation as in (ii) to compute T3 and P3 ]
A3 = 0.02363 m2 ;
now the radii at rotor exit : r3t = 0.0946 m; r3h = 0.0378 m
at mean radius, r3m = 0.06624 m , and Cw3m = U3m = w.r3m
= 144.8 m/s.
From velocity triangle at rotor exit, C3m = 215 m/s and
hence, To3m = T3 + C3m2/2.cp = 944 K.
And, Mach number M3m = C3m / (y.R.T3)'2 = 0.362,
and exit flow angle, B3 = 42.3°
