🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between centrifugal and axial-flow compressor design and airflow path • Typical compression ratio per stage for centrifugal vs axial compressors • How FOD (foreign object damage) risk relates to blade design and number of stages

💭 Think About

• Think about which compressor type usually achieves a large pressure increase in just one stage versus needing many stages to build up pressure • Consider which design (radial impeller vs multiple rows of axial blades) is generally more sensitive to small foreign objects striking the blades • Ask yourself: if you wanted a compact machine with few stages but still good pressure rise, which compressor type would you likely choose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which type typically has higher compression ratio per stage in standard turbomachinery references • Check typical stage pressure ratios: centrifugal vs axial, and compare per stage, not total machine • Confirm how FOD resistance generally changes with the number of small, thin blades arranged in many stages versus a smaller number of more robust blades
