In Axial Flow Compressor Air Flows?

In an axial-flow compressor, air passes from one stage to the next with each stage raising the pressure slightly. By producing low-pressure increases in the order of 1.1:1–1.4:1, very high efficiencies can be obtained. ... A multistage high-pressure axial-flow turbine rotor.

What is the working principle of axial flow compressor?

The basic working principle behind an axial flow compressor is that the rotor imparts kinetic energy to the gas. This kinetic energy is later converted to static pressure when it is diffused through passages or when it strikes on the rotor. For an axial flow compressor, the flow of gases is along the axis.

How air is compressed in axial flow compressor and what are the method of getting higher compressor ratio in such compressor?

In an axial flow compressor, air is compressed while continuing its original direction of flow. From inlet to exit the air flows along an axial path and is compressed at a ratio of approximately 1.25 to 1. An axial flow compressor has two basic elements - a rotor and a stator.
