    Polytropic efficiency of turbomachinery

    Thanks, milltir. Could you explain more why the positive displacement compressors prefer the adiabatic (or isentropic) efficiency, and the centrifugal and axial compressors prefer the polytropic efficiency. In a textbook by Dixon, it is said that the polytropic efficiency is useful when two...

    Polytropic efficiency of turbomachinery

    Hi, members Polytorpic efficiency or small-stage isentropic efficiency is easily found in any textbooks of turbomachinery introduction. Its definition and difference from the adiabatic or isentorpic efficiency are well understood. But I am eager to know why the polytropic efficiency is to be...
