【 摘 要 】

Long-term performance of an axial-flow compressor by the scheduling of inlet guide vanes at off-design conditions has been studied in this paper. The compressors are used in various industries and in aviation sectors for different operations at different climatic conditions; due to diverse climatic conditions the compressor is unable to give good performances as expected. At the design conditions, the results show that the variations in total pressure loss coefficient, volume flow rate, pressure ratio, and others like thermodynamics, aerodynamic properties are different at different stagger angles of 15°, 30° and 45°. BladeGen tools were used to design the inlet guide vanes for the investigations. The performance parameters of the axial flow compressor were analyzed by using ANSYS CFX and were validated using the analytical method. The objective of this study is to minimize the total pressure loss coefficient and improve the aerodynamic characteristics of an inlet guide vanes at different stagger angles and hence reduce the overall fuel consumption. The outcomes of this work give an improved insight into the efficient use of a VIGV in axial flow compressor.
