Q.

Which of the following statement is correct as regard to centrifugal compressors?

  • AThe flow of air is parallel to the axis of the compressor
  • BThe static pressure of air in the impeller increases in order to provide centripetal force on the air
  • CThe impeller rotates at high speeds
  • DThe maximum efficiency is higher than multistage axial flow compressors
Correct Answer : (B)

The static pressure of air in the impeller increases in order to provide centripetal force on the air
