Question 1 of 27070

An axial compressor stage is represented by which of the following components and in which order?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Axial-flow compressor basic layout and terminology (what “stage” means) • Difference between rotating blades/rotors and stationary vanes/stators • How air flows through a compressor stage: energy addition vs. direction/pressure change

💭 Think About

• In an axial compressor, which component is attached to the shaft and actually spins to add kinetic energy to the air? Is that called a blade or a vane in standard terminology? • Which component is fixed to the casing and mainly turns and diffuses the flow to increase pressure? What name does that usually have? • If you move through the compressor in the direction of airflow, what comes first in a single stage: the part that accelerates the air, or the part that turns and diffuses it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of a compressor stage: is it one rotor plus one stator, or something else? • Verify which term is normally used for the rotating element in axial compressors: “blades” or “vanes”? • Verify which term is normally used for the stationary element fixed to the casing.
