The centrifugal compressor draws in air at the center or eye of the impeller and accelerates it around and outward. It consists of an impeller, a diffuser, and a compressor manifold.

At impeller eye air enters axially and leave the vane radially with tangential velocity, it results pressure increase. Answer of question no 13 is doubtful.
