ONCLUSIONS
Flow topology and pressure variation of different geometries has been
described. Pressure coefficient values of all geometries were given and the
variation of pressure coefficient value with the rotating speed of rotor was
presented. It can be observed that changes in inlet, outlet, and rotor geometries
affect the pressure coefficient significantly.
