Compressor stall in a gas turbine engine ?

Question 40-9 : Can be caused by an axial airflow velocity that is low relative to the rotor speed does not occur with well designed compressor blades is unlikely to occur in a compressor with many stages only occurs during engine start up

.like the stall of a wing compressor stall is caused by a breakdown of airflow .if your wing is suitable for high speed and you fly at low speed and large angle of attack the stall is most likely to occur .a compressor stall is most likely to occur when the air flow stagnates in the rear stages of the compressor a compressor blade is hitting the oncoming airflow at an angle of attack that is determined by a combination of the rotational speed and the incoming airflow .when the incoming speed is low the angle of attack will be high when the angle of attack gets too high the blade stalls so when the axial flow in a compressor backs up the blades stall pressure increase in the rear stages this slows down the flow .you can prevent this by dumping some late stage air to atmosphere via bleed valves exemple 172 Can be caused by an axial airflow velocity that is low relative to the rotor speed.Can be caused by an axial airflow velocity that is low relative to the rotor speed.
