Which of the following statements is true concerning axial compressor disk-type rotors?

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is true concerning axial compressor disk-type rotors?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Construction methods of axial compressor rotors in gas turbines • Difference between drum-type and disk-type rotors • How rotor discs are attached to the shaft and to each other

💭 Think About

• Think about how high centrifugal forces in an axial compressor affect the way discs must be attached • Ask yourself which method gives the strongest, most rigid connection for high-speed rotation • Consider which option describes a feature that is not limited to low-speed operation

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each choice to either drum-type or disk-type rotor construction in your notes/textbook • Verify how rotor discs are commonly mounted on the shaft in disk-type designs • Eliminate any option that clearly describes a feature related to low-speed or non‑axial compressors

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is true concerning axial compressor disk-type rotors?

Rotor consists of rings that are flanged to fit one against the other.

Rotor discs are held together by through bolts.

Rotor discs are shrunk fit onto a steel shaft.

Rotor is only suitable for low-speed compressors.
