Zero-stage

Zero-stage

Jet engines are often uprated by adding a zero-stage to the front of a compressor. At a given core size, adding a stage to the front of the compressor not only increases the cycle overall pressure ratio, but increases the core mass flow.

This is demonstrated by the following relationship:

w_2 = (w_2 sqrt{T_3}/P_3) * (P_3/P_2) * (sqrt{T_2/T_3}) * (P_2/sqrt{T_2}) ,

where:

core mass flow = w_2 ,

core size =(w_2 sqrt{T_3}/P_3) ,

core total head pressure ratio = (P_3/P_2) , inverse of core total head temperature ratio = T_2/T_3 , i.e. f(P_3/P_2 ,)

core entry total pressure = P_2 ,

core entry total temperature = T_2 ,

On the other hand, adding a stage to the rear of the compressor increases overall pressure ratio, decreases core size, but has no effect on core flow. This option also needs a turbine with a significantly smaller flow capacity to drive the compressor.
