SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the camber angle of a rotor blade for an axial flow turbomachine using the equation Beta1 - Beta2 = Camber angle (theta). The user is uncertain about the correct placement of angles in their diagram and questions whether the camber angle should be zero degrees or 90 degrees based on the inlet and exit blade angles. The inquiry emphasizes the importance of accurately representing the circular camber line and the angles involved in turbomachinery design.
