Estimation of Supersonic Compressor Efficiency,
Abstract
A semi-empirical determination of the adiabatic efficiency of a supersonic compressor stage is obtained. The method utilizes the normal shock relations, a recently developed efficiency expression for subsonic cascade flow and experimental pressure loss data from supersonic cascades of various geometrical shapes. A correction factor is determined which makes it possible to convert the subsonic stage efficiency to the case of supersonic flow involving shock losses. (Author)
