<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supersonic compressor rotor that increases the efficiency of operating a supersonic compressor system by reducing fluid flow losses across radially outer portions of vanes. <P>SOLUTION: A supersonic compressor includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a fluid conduit extending therebetween, and a supersonic compressor rotor 40 disposed within the fluid conduit. The rotor includes at least one rotor disk 48 extending between inner and outer surfaces 56 and 58 and a plurality of vanes 46 extending radially outward from the rotor disk and adjacent vanes form a pair of vanes. The rotor disk further includes a shroud 200 extending about the rotor disk. The shroud is coupled to at least a portion of each of the plurality of vanes. The radially outer surface, the pair of adjacent vanes, and the shroud are oriented such that a fluid flow channel 80 is defined therebetween. The rotor disk also includes a plurality of adjacent supersonic compression ramps positioned within the fluid flow channel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
