Best Answer

In axial flow compressors, the primary purpose of IGVs (fixed or variable) is to guide the airflow onto the first stage rotor blades at an appropriate or required angle of attack.

How a variable inlet guide vanes operates?

Variable inlet guide vanes are typically found in axial compressors and turbines. They operate by adjusting the angle of the guide vanes to control the flow of air or gas entering the compressor or turbine. By changing the angle of the guide vanes, the system can optimize performance by altering the velocity and direction of the incoming fluid flow.

What is stay vanes?

Stay vanes are stationary vanes located at the entrance of a turbine or pump to guide the flow of fluid towards the rotating blades. They help control the direction and speed of the fluid entering the machine. Stay vanes work in conjunction with the rotating blades to efficiently convert fluid energy into mechanical energy.

Open cycle arrangement of a gas turbine?

1. The working gas is compressed in compressor and directed towards the heat exchanger (Air heater), where heat is being added to the compressed gas before it enters the turbine. 2. The heat is supplied by an external source such as a nuclear reactor, or some other heat source. 3. The hot gasses then expend and accelerate through a nozzle which drive the guide vanes of the turbine and then shaft. 4. At last, the remaining exhaust gasses pass through a cooler and directed towards the compressor inlet.
