Abstract
Onset of stall and rotating stall, and consequently the surge phenomenon in compressors, limits the stable operating range of them. There are many different active and passive methods to delay the onset of these phenomena and extend the stable operating range of compressors. The use of casing treatments is one of the passive methods to control the flow. The purpose of this work is numerical simulation of a compressor with vane-recessed casing treatment and investigating the effect of number of vanes on compressor’s performance and stall margin improvement. The mentioned casing treatment is investigated with 120, 90, 80, 60, 40 and 30 vanes and three different configurations corresponding to 33.3% and 53.5% and 73.7% of rotor exposure. The results of numerical solution show that in casing treatment with 33.3% rotor exposure, the best performance is calculated by 120 vanes with the result of 30.0774 % stall margin improvement based on corrected mass flow rate and 0.148% improvement in maximum efficiency and in casing treatment with 53.5% rotor exposure, the best performance is calculated by 90 vanes with the result of 31.8410 % stall margin improvement based on corrected mass flow rate and 8.8% loss in maximum efficiency and in casing treatment with 73.7% rotor exposure,the best performance is calculated by 60 vanes with the result of 29.210% stall margin improvement based on corrected mass flow rate and 0.071 % loss in maximum efficiency
