Recent advancements have reported in enhancement of centrifugal compressor performance by the impeller with extended shroud by 10%. Present work extends to explore the significance geometric and design parametric variation of varying exit blade width and its implications on the compressor performance. Numerical simulations were carried out for the selected cases of extended shroud by 10% along with the width at exit blade width increased by 5% and 10%. The numerical predictions were validated with the compressor theory and matched reasonably well. Results indicates higher static pressure rise with reduced losses and increased efficiency with exit blade width variation. The stagnation pressure distribution increases at exit of diffuser due to rotating vaneless diffuser. The presence of rotating vaneless diffuser yields smooth entry flow profiles, thereby ...
