Question 165Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer
70% to passAn axial compressor basically consists of which of the following?
AA rotating impeller and a stationary diffuser.
BRotating pistons and stationary liners.
CStationary vanes and rotating blades.
DA stationary impeller and a rotating diffuser.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Stationary vanes and rotating blades. An axial compressor consists of a series of stationary vanes (stator) and rotating blades (rotor) that work together to compress air. The stationary vanes guide the airflow into the rotating blades, which then impart kinetic energy to the air, increasing its pressure. This process occurs across multiple stages to achieve the desired compression ratio. The other options do not accurately describe the key components of an axial compressor.
