Extract

Unshrouded impellers of centrifugal compressors and centripetal turbines manifest an increase of the flow losses in comparison with the shrouded ones. Assuming that the controlling factor in such increase of loss is the leakage through the gap between wheel and casing, the author develops a simple theory leading to a formula for the volumetric efficiency. Only one experimental quantity is required for applying the formula; and tentative values, based on some experimental evidence, are presented.
