Examples

  • It attempted to leapfrog its new jet-age competitors with a two-shaft, axial-flow jet engine considerably larger and more complex than any previously envisioned.

    Lean Thinking James P. Womack 2003

  • Different types of centrifugal and axial-flow fans which circulate and displace the air by means of rotating blades.

  • In present-day mining, both stationary and transportable axial-flow compressors are commonly in use.

    19.1 Bicycle drive pedal drive 1993

  • Piston, axial-flow and turbo compressors can be used to generate compressed air.

  • Weight: e.g. for stationary watercooled axial-flow compressor with 45 kW and 7.2 m³/min (8 bar): 860 kg e.g. for watercooIed piston compressor with

    19.1 Bicycle drive pedal drive 1993

  • With axial-flow fans, the air is tangentially accelerated by the rotating fan blades in an axial direction due to the generation of a pressure differential (higher pressure on the inner side of the blades where expelled air is compressed, and lower pressure at the suction side of the blades where the expelled air creates a vacuum).

    3.1 Bricked brattice, bricked duct 1993

  • For this reason, these machines are referred to as axial-flow turbines.

    1. CONSTRAINTS AND PROBLEMS 1985

  • Theoretical studies of wind-powered axial-flow pumps are being carried out at the National Aeronautical Laboratory in India.

    Chapter 14 1984

  • No use of these pumps with wind rotors is recorded, but it has been suggested that axial-flow pumps would be appropriate for high-volume pumping of sewage wastes in oxidation ponds.

    Chapter 14 1984

  • Ambient air, supplied by a 1.1 kW axial-flow fan rated for 70 m3/min at NTP, passes on the shell side.
