Experimental Investigation of Factors Influencing Operating Rotor Tip Clearance in Multistage Compressors

An analysis of compressor rotor tip clearance measurements using capacitance probe instrumentation is discussed for a three-stage axial compressor. Thermal variations and centrifugal effects related to rotational speed changes affect clearance heights relative to the assembled configuration. These t...
