Who invented centrifugal pump?
professor Auguste Rateau invented the centrifugal compressor,by 1899
What is compression ratio in centrifugal compressor?
4 or 5:1
Can reciprocating compressor surge?
Compressor surge only occur in centrifugal compressors. reciprocating compressor don't as they increase pressure by volume reduction, unlike centrifugal compressors where they increase pressure by converting kinetic energy to potential energy (pressure).
The frontal area of a centrifugal compressor as compared to axial flow compressor is larger or smaller?
the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.
What is compressor turndown?
Turndown: The allowable operating range for the centrifugal compressor between the design point and the surge line at any given speed for a fixed compressor head.
Disadvantages of centrifugal compressor in gas turbine?
This relationship is the reason advances in turbines and axial compressors often find their way cutaway showing an axi-centrifugal compressor gas turbine.
Which compressor is used for supercharging of ic engines?
Centrifugal compressor
Which compressor is mostly used for supercharging of ic engines?
Centrifugal compressor
Which compressor is mostly used for the supercharging of IC engines?
Centrifugal compressor
What is balance line in centrifugal compressor?
test
What is the balance drum used for a centrifugal compressor?
In a centrifugal compressor, the energy is transferred using a set of impeller blades and balancing drums. These balancing drums can be on the inlet or outlet side of the compressor and help to space out the energy in the compressor.
Who invented centrifugal pump?

What type of compressor is perferred with refrigerant R-113?
Centrifugal Compressor and Rotary Compressor is preferred with refrigerant R-113.
What is compression ratio in centrifugal compressor?
4 or 5:1
What does a centrifugal compressor do?
Centrifugal compressor sucks in air, compresses it and ejects it, decreasing surface area without losing pressure, propelling an object forward. These devices power jet aircraft.
What is the air compressor in a car used for?
The air conditioning compressor pressurizes the refrigerant sending it through a series of chambers. This compressor is normally called a centrifugal compressor.
Can we prefer screw compressor over centrifugal compressor for ammonai or CO2 service?
no we can,t use the screw comressor over the centrifugal copressor because for higher pressure we need closed area like closed impeeler which is not in screw compressor
