At the request of the Air Materiel Command, Army Air Forces, an investigation is being conducted at the NACA Cleveland laboratory to determine the performance characteristics of the XJ-41-V turbojet-engine compressor. The static-pressure variation in the direction of flow through the compressor was presented in reference 1 for an equivalent speed of 8000 rpm. An analysis of these pressure indicated that the maximum-flow limitation of the compressor was caused by separation, which reduced the effective flow area at the vaned-collector entrance. As a result of this analysis, the flow area at the vaned-collector entrance was increased to obtain larger mass flows. The area increase was obtained by cutting back the entrance edges of the collector vanes, which resulted in an increased vaneless-diffuser radius. Comparative performance of the original and revised compressors at an equivalent speed of 8000 rpm is presented. The static-pressure rise through the compressor, determined from static pressures at the impeller entrance and the vaned-collector exit, is also presented together with the compressor adiabatic efficiency and the mass flow over an equivalent speed range from 5000 to 9000 rpm. These static-pressure data are presented for the purpose of correlating the compressor performance with the turbojet-engine performance.
