Axial And Radial Turbines By Hany Moustapha.pdf -

Use his provided coefficients to calculate your mean radius velocity triangles. Do not start with 3D CFD. Start with his single-line calculations.

During his tenure at P&WC, a world leader in small gas turbines (PT6, PW100, PW800 families), Dr. Moustapha developed many of the empirical models and design rules that transitioned turbine technology from purely experimental to highly predictive. He is a co-author of the landmark textbook "Axial and Radial Turbines" (often published under the and similar technical reports).

Apply his Ainley & Mathieson (modified by Moustapha) correlation for axial blades. For radial rotors, use his recommended total-to-static efficiency curves.

Whether you are designing a 10,000 HP industrial turbine or a 50 HP turbocharger for a student formula car, the principles in Hany Moustapha’s work remain the global gold standard.
