Abstract

In Chapter 4, we briefly described a simple radial equilibrium condition necessary to determine the radial distribution of the stage parameters such as, \(\Phi ,\lambda ,r,\alpha _i\), and \(\beta _i\). Assuming an axisymmetric flow with constant meridional velocity and total pressure distributions, we arrived at free vortex flow as a simple radial equilibrium condition with \(r\nu _u =\) construct.
