Novel Carbon Fibre Composite Centrifugal Impeller Design, Numerical Analysis, Manufacturing and Experimental Evaluations

This paper presents an experimental investigation on using high strength-to-weight composite materials to reduce the mass of a centrifugal compressor impeller by 600%. By reducing the blades number from 17 to 7 and by doubling their thickness, the compression ratio and efficiency were maintained clo...
