Disclaimer: This project was strictly designed as a CAD project. I currently have little experience with fluid flow modelling/design, and so I thought what better way to learn than to design a very easily modifiable design and iterate over time. The current set of parameter values are just what "looked right" when comparing to reference images.
Both the pump and compressor stem from the same files, with the compressor having additional minor tweaks like a parameter for the height of the middle blade profile. I do want to join the two back projects together into a single set of files for both variations with the only difference being a separate parameter .txt file for each... but I made changes to each over time and kind of forget exactly what changes were made, so that's a work in progress.
Please note that printables automatically moved the "equations.txt" parameter files into a separate section called "other files" which is further below. These files are useful for ensuring that the parameters across the three different part files are the same value.
