Abstract

In this work, the Greitzer's B-parameter model is applied for analyzing the stall and surge characteristics. The four parameters in the model are highlighted in order to establish the influence of each parameter on the system. First of all, the governing equations of stall and surge behavior are solved numerically using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The Taguchi method is then used to analyze the results generated to obtain the extent of effects of the parameters on the system by varying the parameters in a series of combinations. Finally, a thorough analysis is carried out on the results generated from the Taguchi method and the graphs.
