Question:medium

The degree of reaction of an axial compressor stage is defined as the ratio of

Show Hint

The degree of reaction is \[ \boxed{ R = \frac{\Delta h_{\text{rotor}}} {\Delta h_{\text{stage}}} } \] and indicates how the pressure rise is shared between the rotor and stator.

  • Rotor work to total work
  • Static pressure rise in rotor to total static pressure rise of the stage
  • Stator work to rotor work
  • Total pressure rise to kinetic energy rise
