Centrifugal gas compressors are devices used to increase the pressure of a gas by using a rotating impeller to impart velocity to the gas, which is then converted into pressure energy. These ...
From a historical viewpoint, the centrifugal compressor configuration was developed and used well before axial-flow compressors, even in the propulsion field. The common belief that such a bulky ...
Compressor speed as a function of molecular weight, while maintaining the same suction and discharge pressure and mass flow rate. Polytropic head and efficiencies as a function of gas molecular weight ...
