To calculate the Tip Speed (TS):
TS=π×D×RPM60
Where:
Tip speed is defined as the tangential velocity of an impeller at a point on its tip. The tip speed is a function of the RPM and diameter of the impeller. An impeller is the rotating portion of a centrifugal pump, compressor, or another machine that moves fluid through rotational movement.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the tip speed calculation formula:
TS=π×2×180060≈188.50 distance/second
The Tip Speed is approximately 188.50 distance/second.
