Surge Line
Surge Line
(OP)
Sorry, I think I am abusing the purpose of this forum, but I really need some clear explanation as I'm trying to study jet propulsion in German and finding it damn difficult!
Basically I have a graph showing working line and stall (surge) line characteristics in a jet engine compressor. y axis is pressure ratio and x axis is dimensionless mass flow.
Can someone please explain what happens upon breaking the surge line, I think there was some talk of mass flow rate after this changing direction but I'm a bit lost...
Even any suggestions to where this is explained online would be great.
Many thanks.

RE: Surge Line
the point of a booster is to compress the air flow in a turbine, it should therefore affect the mass flow rate shouldn't it? are there cases where it doesnt?!
