Popis: Shape parameters and design variables for a centrifugal compressor impeller were investigated for optimizing a centrifugal compressor. In order to compare the performance of an optimized impeller with the performance of the original impeller, an already tested impeller was chosen and design variables for optimization were selected. The meridional shapes at the shroud and at the hub were re-designed using the Bezier curve. The camber-lines of the impeller blade at the hub and at the tip were also expressed by the Bezier curve. The shape curves for impeller could be expressed using 6-8 control points. Among them, eight control points which have strong effect to the shape can be selected as design variables for optimization. Therefore, any impeller which is expressed by data points for its shape can be optimized using few design variables.
