Abstract
This paper describes the procedure followed in developing an acceptable radial-flow turbine for use with a lightweight gas-turbine-driven fire pump for the Navy Bureau of Ships. In the course of this work considerable data were accumulated on general design information and practice on radial compressors and turbines. A review is given of these data as well as the current design approach for a simple cycle radial-flow gas turbine. A discussion of the factors and variables which affect the performance of radial turbomachines is included.Keywords
