An axial compressor loss and deviation model that was developed and presented during previous research has now been used to develop a computer program for multistage compressor design. A set of input data including overall parameters such as pressure ratio and mass flow rate and the first-stage parameters such as inlet flow coefficient and rotor tip Mach number are used to determine a number of stages and their geometry, speed and relevant flow properties. Then a subsequent redistribution of parameters for separate stages can be carried out in order to increase the stability indicators and efficiency over a desired operating range. A selected stage vortex law determines velocity triangles and blading geometry for hub and tip sections, which allows the generation of a realistic flow path shape. The developed program is considered to be a flexible and stable tool useful for tasks of manual or automated optimization when combined with an external optimization algorithm. This paper presents a basic mathematical model and the level of accuracy achieved. This is demonstrated through examples of manual design and redesign cases, while automated optimization will be included in future research.

Part I of this paper presents a method and a computer program for the mean design of multistage axial compressors. This second part describes a method and an additional computer routine that use the basic mean line design to create a fully two-dimensional flow solution and a compressor design. The two-dimensional solution according to a selected swirl vortex function is calculated using streamline curvature throughflow equations and spanwise distribution of losses. An iterative calculation procedure slightly reshapes the initial flow path in order to retain the desired input flow coefficients. Other variables such as stage loading parameters are changed in order to obtain the desired overall pressure ratio. A spanwise distribution of certain stage parameters can then be adjusted to achieve desired radial flow field variations. The basic one-dimensional input data can be varied at any moment to obtain a new one-dimensional result and the corresponding two-dimensional solution. A new output is created instantaneously and can be used for further CFD analysis, external throughflow, blade-to-blade flow computations or mechanical and vibration analysis.

In contrast to the adjustment of single plates a block adjustment is a simultaneous determination of all unknowns associated with many overlapping plates (star positions and plate constants etc. ) by one large adjustment. This plate overlap technique was introduced by Eichhorn and reviewed by Googe et. al. The author now has developed a set of computer programmes which allows the adjustment of any set of contemporaneous overlapping plates. There is in principle no limit for the number of plates, the number of stars, the number of individual plate constants for each plate, and for the overlapping factor.

In hexagonal Se crystal each atom is covalently bound to two others to form an endless spiral chain, and in Sb crystal each atom to three others to form an extended puckered sheet. Such chains and sheets may be regarded as one- and two- dimensional molecules, respectively. In this paper we investigate the structures in amorphous state of these elements and the crystallization.HRTEM and ED images of vacuum-deposited amorphous Se and Sb films were taken with a JEM-200CX electron microscope (Cs=1.2 mm). The structure models of amorphous films were constructed on a computer by Monte Carlo method. Generated atoms were subsequently deposited on a space of 2 nm×2 nm as they fulfiled the binding condition, to form a film 5 nm thick (Fig. 1a-1c). An improvement on a previous computer program has been made as to realize the actual film formation. Radial distribution fuction (RDF) curves, ED intensities and HRTEM images for the constructed structure models were calculated, and compared with the observed ones.
