• Fig
2 shows the performance and constant efficiency curves.
• Such a plot does not take unto account the varying inlet
temperature and pressure. In addition to this , these plots
cannot show the comparison of performance for similar
compressors of different types.
• The performance curves are plotted with dimensionless
parameters.
• The dimensionless parameters are pressure ratio: speed
parmeters: and flow parameter
