(a) Explain the importance of dimensionless groups of variables in the test and analysis of performance characteristic of turbomachinery. Important variables in turbomachine performance are shown in Table 1. Of the several possible groups that can be formed, the most useful combinations of variables are the flow coefficient @ and the head coefficient y. Define @ and y.
