A worldwide effort has been devoted to developing highly efficient and reliable gas turbine engines. There exist many prominent factors in the development of these engines. One of the most important features of the optimal design of axial flow compressors is satisfying the allowable range for various parameters such as flow coefficient, stage loading, the degree of reaction, De-Haller number, etc. But, there are some applicable cases that the mentioned criteria are exceeded. One of the most famous parameters is De-Haller number, which according to literature data should not be kept less than 0.72 in any stage of the axial compressor. A deep insight into the current small- or large-scale axial flow compressors shows that a discrepancy will occur among design criterion for De-Haller number and experimental measurements in which the De-Haller number is less than the design limit but no stall or surge is observed. In this paper, an improved formulation is derived based on one-dimensional modeling for predicting the stall-free design parameter ranges especially stage loading, flow coefficient, etc. for various combinations. It was found that the current criterion is much more accurate than the De-Haller criterion for design purposes.
