We present a simulation data-based efficiency approximation for radial turbocompressors, which is implemented in the well-known Cordier diagram.
A sophisticated CAE workflow is used to calculate the operational characteristics of 50 machine designs with 50 impeller geometry variations each.
A Kriging-based surrogate model is trained to approximate the efficiency of any machine designs' best geometry design.
The models are implemented into a machine design workflow.
As a result, duty-specific Cordier lines are introduced. They are automatically generated for a set of machine design parameters.
The efficiency of the designs along the duty-specific Cordier lines is approximated.
Using optimization techniques, an optimal compressor design for the given duty on every specific Cordier line may be identified.
This highly increases the amount of information available in the early design stages for radial turbocompressors.
We present an approximation model for the chord length of radial turbocompressors. The model enables the calculation of a compressor's chord Reynold's number during the machine design process. The chord Reynold's number is shown to be the most accurate representation of the fluid dynamic properties inside the radial turbocompressor's impeller. It — however — requires the computation of the chord length, which is only available after defining the final impeller geometry. The method presenting in this paper only employs the compressors principal dimensions to approximate the chord length. The chord is modelled using a Bézier spline and quarter ellipse. This enables the earlier use of the chord Reynold's number during the machine design process of radial turbocompressors.

This article focuses on the development of class-specific inequalities within German universities. Based on data on the social origin of students, doctoral students, and professors in the long-term cross-section, the article views the empirically observable dynamic of social closure of higher education since the 1950s. The focus of interest is on the level of the professorship. Data show that career conditions for underprivileged groups have deteriorated again. This finding is discussed in the context of social closure theories. The article argues that closure theories consider social closure processes primarily as intentional patterns of action, aimed at a strategic monopolization of participation, and securing social power. Such an analytical approach means that unintended closure processes remain understudied. Our conclusion is that concealed modes of reproduction of social structures ought to be examined and theorized more intensively due to their importance for the elimination of social inequality within universities.
