equation determines the amount of energy thus transferred. A row of
stationary blades is placed behind each rotor in order to remove part or all
of the angular velocity produced by the previous rotating blade row. Note
that another type of compressor, a mixed-flow compressor, is similar to
centrifugal units.
The concepts for these compressors were originally used for the design
of pumps for liquids, and pump efficiencies of 0.90 or more have been
attainable for about a century. This design technology relied on empirical
correlations derived from experiments; it was also adequate for the design of
