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.

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.
