Abstract

A turbomachine is a device in which energy transfer occurs between a flowing fluid and a rotating element due to dynamic action, and results in a change in pressure and momentum of the fluid. This Projek Sarjana Muda was aim to investigate the effect of blade pitch angle, and rotational speed of rotor to air volume flowrate, net head and efficiency of axial compressor to develop a rotor. Series of experiment will be conduct on FM36 Axial Flow Compressor Test Rig at UTeM’s laboratory to obtain optimum parameter for blade with pitch angle 50°, 60°, 70° and 80°. Found that flowrate and net head are directly proportional with rotational speed. Too large or too steep blade pitch angle will made compressor running with low efficiency caused by stall. Analysis from collected data was used to determine amount of twist for rotor blade, which is it was important factor to develop a good and efficient axial compressor. This case study is important to enhance knowledge on turbomachine especially axial compressor. This project will be used for further research in development of rotor for axial flow compressor.
