In centrifugal compressors, working fluid i.e. air will enter to the compressor at the impeller eye axially and will be released radially outward or we can say that compressed air will leave the compressor in radial direction.

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.

Enter radially and leave axially is correct.

Enters radially & leaves tangentially.

Enter axially, leaves radially.

Air from ambient enters axially, accelerated and then exists radially from the disc or impeller.

I think it must be yes.

In a centrifugal compressor, the gas typically enters the impeller axially and is discharged radially.
