Abstract: Design of centrifugal compressors can be accomplished using methods provided in text books and open literature. In this general approach, after determination of dimensions in meridional plane, blade profiles are designed using aerodynamic methods. Then, some blades are trimmed at the beginning to avoid inlet blockage. But there is no clear guidance on how this trimming must be performed. With this widely implemented method, splitter blades have the same profile as main ones.
