Effects of Geometry of Plenum Chamber on Losses in the Bleed System of an Axial Compressor by Yuancheng Shi, Qingguo Kong, Wei Jia

“…To study how the geometry of the plenum chamber in the bleed system of an axial compressor influences the losses therein and to establish a theoretical loss model for this system, a 1.5-stage axial compressor with a bleed system is studied numerically by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results show that losses in the bleed system occur mainly in the axisymmetric bleed slot and plenum chamber, accounting for ca. 85% of the total loss. …”
