Abstract
To predict the complete performance map of turbocharger centrifugal compressors, it has been found essential to include a procedure for estimating the slip factor at off-design flow rates. The many correlations available for the slip factor only concern themselves with design-point operation and consequently only provide a single value for the slip factor. The approach presented here attempts, within the confines of a one-dimensional procedure, to recognize the changing flow pattern at the impeller discharge in order to predict the variation of slip factor with flow rate. The procedure is based upon the well-established jet-wake flow model of Dean and the overall slip factor calculated from the jet slip factor. Experimental and theoretical slip factors are presented for three impellers with 34, 30 and 12 radial blades, respectively. The complete performance map of the 12-bladed turbocharger compressor and the effect of using a constant and varying slip factor on the predicted performance are presented.
