Mechanical Engineering - Compressors, Gas Dynamics and Gas Turbines

The increase in pressure in a roots blower is entirely due to back flow of air.

The type of rotary compressor used in aeroplanes, is of

An axial compressor gives optimum performance at high speeds and large volume flows.

In a reciprocating air compressor, the compression work per kg of air

The degree of reaction in an axial flow compressor is defined as the ratio of static enthalpy rise in the
