Extract

Whereas a body of theoretical research is available on the conditions of supersonic flow through Laval nozzles and around aerofoils, such is lacking for turbo-machinery in general, with the exception of some researches by Stodola, confined to axial steam turbines. The present paper investigates some important questions relating to the flow at supersonic velocity through centrifugal machines of the general type.
