Given data: In the axial compressor the flow coefficient is, ϕ = 0.526. The air angle at the inlet α 1 = 20° and outlet angle of the absolute system is α 2 = 30° Solution: Loading coefficient is the function of flow coefficient and air inlet and outlet angles. loading coefficient, ψ = ϕ(tan α 2 -tan α 1 ) ψ = 0.522(tan 30°-tan20°) ψ = 0.
