Abstract The stability limit of a tip-stalling axial compressor is sensitive to the magnitude of the near casing blockage. In transonic compressors, the presence of the passage shock could be a major cause for the blockage. Identification and elimination of this blockage could be key to improving the stability limit of the compressor. In this paper, using numerical simulation, the near casing blockage within the transonic rotor, NASA Rotor 37, is quantified using a blockage parameter. For a smooth casing, the blockage at conditions near stall has been found to be maximum at about 20% of the tip axial chord downstream of the tip leading edge. This maximum blockage location is found to be consistent with the location of the passage shock-tip leakage vortex interaction. A datum single casing groove design that minimises the peak blockage is found through an optimisation approach. The stall margin improvement of the datum casing groove is about 0.6% with negligible efficiency penalty. Furthermore, the location of the casing groove is varied upstream and downstream of the datum location. It is shown that the stability limit of the compressor is best improved when the blockage is reduced upstream of the peak blockage location. The paper also discusses the prospects of a multi-groove casing configuration.

<p>All-solid-state batteries are often expected to replace conventional lithium-ion batteries in the future. However, the practical electrochemical and cycling stability of the best-conducting solid electrolytes, i.e. lithium thiophosphates, are still critical issues that prevent long-term stable high-energy cells. In this study, we use <i>stepwise</i><i>cyclic voltammetry </i>to obtain information on the practical oxidative stability limit of Li<sub>10</sub>GeP<sub>2</sub>S<sub>12</sub>, a Li<sub>2</sub>S‑P<sub>2</sub>S<sub>5</sub>glass, as well as the argyrodite Li<sub>6</sub>PS<sub>5</sub>Cl solid electrolytes. We employ indium metal and carbon black as the counter and working electrode, respectively, the latter to increase the interfacial contact area to the electrolyte as compared to the commonly used planar steel electrodes. Using a stepwise increase in the reversal potentials, the onset potential at 25 °C of oxidative decomposition at the electrode-electrolyte interface is identified. X‑ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to investigate the oxidation of sulfur(-II) in the thiophosphate polyanions to sulfur(0) as the dominant redox process in all electrolytes tested. Our results suggest that after the formation of these decomposition products, significant redox behavior is observed. This explains previously reported redox activity of thiophosphate solid electrolytes, which contributes to the overall cell performance in solid-state batteries. The <i>stepwise cyclic voltammetry</i>approach presented here shows that the practical oxidative stability at 25 °C of thiophosphate solid electrolytes against carbon is kinetically higher than predicted by thermodynamic calculations. The method serves as an efficient guideline for the determination of practical, kinetic stability limits of solid electrolytes. </p>
