Examples
- The high-speed impeller in the jet engine compressor accelerated the air to incredible velocities.
- As the impeller spun, it drew in large volumes of air and compressed them to extremely high pressures.
- The damaged impeller blade was carefully removed and replaced with a new one to prevent further engine damage.
- The impeller's unique curved design allowed it to efficiently compress the air while minimizing energy loss.
- During the maintenance inspection, the technician carefully examined the impeller for any signs of wear or damage.
