Question

What is the unsteady to and fro motion of the fluid that causes pulsation in the engine compressor known as?

A.

Pulsing

B.

Compressing

C.

Choking  

D.

Surging

Answer ( Option D)

Surging

Solution

Surge is defined as the operating point at which centrifugal compressor peak head capability and minimum flow limits are reached. Surge occurs when there is no forward flow of gas through the compressor and a reversal of flow occurs. The gas that is being compressed gets pushed backward through the centrifugal compressor. When this surge (flow reversal) occurs, which can happen in milliseconds, the rotor is affected.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
