... undergoes a wet compression process (2 * -3′ * ) with temperature reduction and pressure ratio increase. In the combustion process, the average temperature for the wet case (3′ * -4′ * ) is slightly lower than that of the dry case (3 * -4 * ) because the heat added to per unit mass of air is equal here...

... of the compressor thus causing penalty on the gas turbine performance. In this study, effects of water injection at the rotor tip with and without the wet compression on the compressor performance and its stability have been examined. To achieve the stated objectives, the well tested transonic compressor rotor...
