3-Stage Research Compressor

This map of a compressor with a pressure ratio of 2.4 is usefull for modeling the booster of conventional turbofans since it has a relatively low circumferential speed.

This compressor map serves as the basis for Figure 6 in GPPS-TC-2026-0083. 

About this compressor

The map is based on the measured data from a research compressor with the following design data:

Mass Flow [kg/s] 10.6
Pressure Ratio 2.4
Circumferential speed [m/s] 268
Rotational speed [rpm] 9300
Tip Diameter [m] 0.55
Radius Radio 0.85
