Good explanation. Kindly explain why do we prefer backward curved blades in the compressor ?

[@RotorDynamics]

Sure. Backward curved blades are the preferred choice in compressor designs for their superior efficiency, particularly in high-pressure ratio scenarios. Their aerodynamic design facilitates smoother airflow, minimizing losses from turbulence. However, forward curved blades, while less prevalent in compressor designs, offer their own advantages. They excel in low-pressure ratio applications, where efficiency demands are less stringent. In such systems, they can deliver satisfactory performance despite the relatively modest pressure rise.

Thank you for your feedback. I've just uploaded Part 39 of the video series, which addresses your question. I invite you to take a look.
