High Efficiency Small Core Compressors by Ashish Thapliyal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis examines challenges for achieving high efficiency in small core axial compressors for jet aircraft engines. It quantifies the effects of low Reynolds number and increased tip clearances on compressor efficiency. The document finds that a small core engine with a high overall pressure ratio could reduce fuel burn by up to 17% compared to current engines. However, small core sizes are subject to Reynolds number effects that could lower stage efficiency by up to 1.9% unless blades are optimized for
