🔍 Key Concepts

• Axial-flow compressor basic components: inlet, inlet guide vanes, rotor blades, stator blades • Difference between inlet guide vanes and stator vanes inside the compressor stages • What makes a vane "variable" versus just its basic name

💭 Think About

• Picture the airflow path: air enters the compressor, then passes through a set of stationary vanes before it meets the first rotating blades. What is the general name for those entrance vanes whose job is to direct the flow? • Ask yourself: are stator vanes normally located before or after a rotor stage inside the compressor? How does that compare with the vanes right at the inlet? • Look at which options describe a function (guiding inlet flow) versus which describe adjustability (variable) or position (first stage). Which name fits the position and function given in the question most precisely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which vanes are located ahead of the first rotor and are specifically meant to direct or "guide" inlet air into the compressor • Distinguish between stator vanes between stages and special vanes at the compressor inlet • Check whether "variable" describes an optional feature (can be adjusted) or the fundamental name of that set of vanes
