    Hey there, love your videos. I wanted to comment here on what I think is a critical phenomenon in helping people understand compressor rotor AOA and why the vectors work out the way they do. You have always mentioned AOA as a vector of 2 factors, rotor RPM and the velocity of air through the compressor. As you've said, the rotor blade angles are optimized for full power operation, so at lower RPMs we need the help of bleed valves and variable stator vanes to change both the speed and angle of air introduced to the rotor blade to stay within a proper AOA. But what is really driving this is that as we decrease RPM, the decrease in velocity of the air through the compressor is not linear, if it was, then we wouldn't need bleed valves and VSVs as the AOA would stay constant. This is something you eluded to and I know you understand but in my humble opinion needs to be explained further. For example, a jet engine turning at 50% RPM is not going to have 50% of max velocity through the compressor, it will be much lower. Again, you did mention something about this on your compressor video, but I think this needs to be hammered on more as this non-linear relationship is what drives all these vectors to be so much more complex.

    I wonder if using an example for stall like when people put their hand out the window while driving (I don't recommend this btw) into the wind and as long as its relatively knife edged it cleaves through the wind with little resistance, whereas if you increase the "angle of attack" as we're referencing, it gets more and more difficult to keep your hand from being blown back. If the hand flattens out against the wind it is pushed back and encounters what one might call a stall. This gives people a more direct example they can put in their heads I think. But that's just me. Again, I might be misunderstanding things.
    Really enjoy the videos AgentJayZ. Learning a lot. :)

    • @dieteralfred8636
      @dieteralfred8636 4 года назад +1

      No. The pump rotates at a certain speed and it pumps a certain volume per rotation. The pressure is not important. And the fuel control is not as advanced as you might think. In most cases it is hydraulics or Fly by Wire. And not the computer Fly by Wire. Fly by real wires.

    Hello! I have a question for you. About the variable stator system - I see in your videos, especially the j79/lm1500, that the variable stators in the compressor are all linked together by mechanical arms that makes them move in synchronized harmony to their told position. All of which is connected to a bracket and powered by one single hydraulic piston. Is there allot of force needed to move all the stators? There are apparently many stators.. And I guess that just the mechanical structure, with all its parts, offers allot of resistance too.
    Anyway, I really what to thank you for the effort on makeing these videos! It have certainly given me countless hours of interest, knowledge and joy! My interest in turbine engines are really true! My father and my brother are both pilots and learn me allot about that. So it feels great to be able to learn them a thing or two about the machines they are handling, very much thanks to you!

    Can a centrifugal compressor stall?

  • @deSloleye
    @deSloleye 7 лет назад

    So glad to finally see the compressor stall video and this follow up. In the original video you said a compressor stall occurred when the compressor accelerates too quickly, faster than the air can accelerate, so the critical angle of the blades is exceeded. I wondered if combustor and diffuser pressure were an issue, as well, with an over zealous application of fuel the flame gets rapidly bigger faster than the rotor would spin up. Does the air pressure on the diffuser exceed the dynamic pressure from the compressor in these cases and stalls the compressor from back to front? If not, I would guess resistance from stalling would be a real advantage to fixed rpm engines. Another question, when these engine stall, which stage of a compressor stalls first? Still so many questions about this. Do centrifugal compressors stall? What damage occurs to an engine during a stall?

    • @rjtoten
      @rjtoten 7 лет назад

      " I wondered if combustor and diffuser pressure were an issue, as well, with an over zealous application of fuel the flame gets rapidly bigger faster than the rotor would spin up."
      In this scenario the issue will be combustion temperature, not pressure. The lack of cooling air from the compressor will cause the combustion output to exceed the thermal limits of the turbine nozzles.

  • @jimbojones806
    @jimbojones806 5 лет назад +1

    One thing that has got me confused is how you mentioned compressor inlet temp reflects air density + the compressor RPM tells the VSV what position it should be in. My Question is Wouldn't air at -20 degrees Celsius at ground level during a test in winter be at a different density to say -20 degree at 30,000 feet in the air (hypothetical values) due to the change in altitude pressure affecting how dense the air can get? Would you know of a book/source that explains this a bit more in detail??

    J, it seems that everything that operates in air or a gas requires LAMINAR FLOW to function correctly. Which means the molecules are moving in unison and in a smooth path parallel to each other. This applies to airfoils like wings, rotors, props, and axial compressor elements. LF is also required for orifice meters used for measuring NG flow rates. But when the flow becomes TURBULENT the molecules go into disarray and move in non uniform patterns. That causes airfoils to stall and NG meters to read incorrectly. I believe turbine engine designers strive to maintain uniform laminar flow at all points in an engine which results in smooth efficient power delivery. The variable angle stator guide vanes in a compressor is a way of optimizing laminar flow in variable air densities to get that result. Bob

    • @AgentJayZ
      @AgentJayZ  4 года назад +1

      The combustion area and the afterburner flame holder are structures engineered specifically to maintain turbulent flow in order to ensure reliable ignition of all the fuel air mixture.
      Otherwise yes. The loss of laminar flow over the convex surface of the compressor airfoils is the definition of a compressor stall.

    • @robertrpenny
      @robertrpenny 4 года назад

      Ok im good to go with that. Combustion chambers do work best with turbulence whether in turbine or recip engines. Since fuel and air need to be well mixed for good burn. But was trying to give a general sense of the process without getting in too deep. While hoping to be mostly correct. Bob.

    Why is the VSV posistion not determined by inlet air pressure too? I would guess that pressure is more indicative of the density of the air than temperature? Especially in aircraft the pressure is going to change a lot.

    Q: at 15:50 there seems to be several mm of free play / lash in the rod end of the hydraulic cylinder of the actuator for the vanes, is that what i am seeing; it seems amount of lash would be too much to be within tolerance. I can only guess that the air rushing across/thru the vanes are always applying a moment that keeps the linkages in compression or tension and never from one to the other... but then i saw that rod end linkage wiggle....

    • @allesklarklaus147
      @allesklarklaus147 7 лет назад

      Joe Kozak I reckon it is a closed loop system and it doesn't matter what the hydraulic cylinder does because the actual position of the thing that moves the vains is read by the computer. and not the hydraulic cyclinder position

    • @allesklarklaus147
      @allesklarklaus147 7 лет назад

    Re: angle of attack. You also get some interesting effects due to rate of climb in airplanes. Hopefully in a turbine engine the air will always be entering the compressor section close to perfectly axially.
    If you want to go into the details of airplanes stalling, you usually don't lose lift at the point of stalling, you just have a massive jump in drag, and lose flow over control surfaces.

  • @tomsemo8186
    @tomsemo8186 7 лет назад

    Great vid and on point as usual.
    With VSV and bleed valves basically doing the same thing, preventing stall, why would VSV be used in a industrial envorment? Seems very complicated and costly for steady-state running. In a aircraft, do VSV react quicker to prevent stall than bleed valves?

    • @phillipmensi7330
      @phillipmensi7330 3 года назад

      When you say industrial , do you mean power generation? If so we do not have vigv or vsv here because we operate at one specific speed. As to your comment on vsv vs bleed valves; I believe either VSV or VIGV are preferable during constant varying rotational speeds than bleed valves. Because with bleed valves you loose total compression, I believe.
      That is why we (power industry) start with bleed valves open, because we want increased flow without cavitation, we don't care about compression at startup. IGV's stated as closed are not closed, they are just limiting. Once an industrial turbine is close to speed the IGV'S can be opened (80%ish) and bleed valves closed. It is more of a cavitation and stall issue during start up while the compressor airfoils are not in proper attack angle.... Once the air is "walked" in a forward motion and the rotational speed is near max we close bleeds and open IGV's.
      Spinning up can take up to 45 minutes to ease thermal issues. The airfoils are not in there optimum angle and creating Bernoulli's vacuum. You can stall!
      I saw a unit trip with IGV failure and it rumbled the ceiling tiles out of the ceiling with the air changing speed and not being able to go anywhere.

    1. why is the FCOC on the J79 rendered inoperable when it is demilitarized? I have heard of firearms and destructive devices being cut but not anything else. Is it considered a proprietary technology or is the engine itself not available for civilian use, so key components are destroyed? I also have another question but I need to find the video.
    Edit: question 2. In the RR Tyne test prep video at 1 :55 a fella pulls a cable up by the inlet, can you explain what that was for?

    A wing stalls at the same angle of attack no matter the speed. Between 15-20 degrees.
    In an airplane where air is blown over the wing by the engine, such as a piper Seminole, and most prop planes, the wing will stall at a lower indicated airspeed at a high power setting because the propeller is moving more air over the wing. However, the critical angle of attack doesn’t change.

    • @pinkdispatcher
      @pinkdispatcher 7 лет назад +2

      As long as compressibility plays no role (up to around maybe Mach 0.3) that is true. At higher Mach numbers, where compressibility becomes an issue, stall occurs at lower angles of attack, some times as low as 10º. I would argue that compressor blades are well into the high-subsonic region, and will stall at lower angles of attack than typical airplanes. The (compared to aircraft wings) relatively small blade-nose-radius will also facilitate an earlier stall. When the stagnation points moves too far to the underside, the nose itself may cause flow separation.

      @allesklarklaus147 7 лет назад

      pinkdispatcher Compressor blades are pretty much just a half a bee's dick under transsonic speeds for the incoming air in flight conditions and the compressor blades move at.. well lets say we have 10krpm, so just round to 160 per second at 0.5m diameter (outer diameter of the blades) thats 0.25 radius so 2*3.141*0.25=1.57m approx 1.6m soo 1.6m per rev and 160revs per second is 256m/s is 921kph. Pretty damn fast. But the shapes of the blades are somewhat optimised for a high airspeed a little bit like a supersonic jet has a different wingprofile than a slow stuntairplane
