How do I design a two-stage compressor for a homemade jet turbine?

AI Thread Summary
To design a two-stage compressor for a homemade jet turbine, a compression ratio of around 2 is desired, with a blade diameter of 20 cm. The discussion highlights the need for guidance on determining blade angles based on the compression ratio and diameter, emphasizing a lack of prior aerodynamics knowledge. The "turning angle" of the blade is also a point of confusion that requires clarification. Recommendations include using materials like inconel for blade construction and consulting gas turbine engine literature for foundational knowledge. Overall, the conversation seeks practical advice and resources for building a small jet turbine effectively.

Hey guys and gals! first time poster so be gentle...I'm wanting to make a small jet turbine from scratch but I am totally baffled by how to design the compressor and turbine stages for compressing the air and extracting power from the exhaust gas to drive the compressor.

i would ideally like a two stage compressor with a compression ratio of about 2, although the higher the better (but no more than two stages) and an blade diameter of 20 cm.
Im having difficulty with the blade angles. As iv never done aerodynamics before i need a dummies guide on how to derive the angles of the blades from compression ratio and blade diameter (if that's possible).

also can someone explain what the "turning angle" of the blade is?

any information on this is much appreciated!

Start of with the right material for the blades. Use something similar to inconel. Google cutaway diagrams for a simple looking design. I always wonder how to start them myself. Sort of an odd machine to begin with.

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
