Homework Statement
Find the direction of the force exerted by the fluid to the airfoil.
Homework Equations
N/A
The Attempt at a Solution
I think that's the forces direction (x is horizontal and z is vertical) for 2 cases. In case I am dealing with either the compressor or turbine, will the solutions change?
I know that:
-If case 1 is designed for the compressor, it will move downward and if case 1 is designed for the turbine, it will move upward.
-If case 2 is designed for the compressor, it will move upward and if case 2 is designed for the turbine, it will move downward.
I am guessing my directions (forces exerted by the fluid on the airfoil/blade) stay the same.
Are my directions right in those 2 cases? Thank you.
