    What is the relationship between airflow and pressure in a compressor?

    Sorry...for the lack of detail. I am referring to a Rotary Vane Compressor and the delivery pressure (is this the exit pressure by the way?). Thanks.

    What is the relationship between airflow and pressure in a compressor?

    Can someone help to explain why when the mass flow is decreased a higher pressure is achieved? Thanks.

    What is the relationship between airflow and pressure in a compressor?

    Does this below seem correct? Considerations: 1) Airflow/Delivery Pressure chracteristic 2) Speed increased/decreased Firstly, having drawn a graph of mass flow of air vs. pressure, I have noticed that there is a strong negative correlation. Hence, therefore, the greater mass flow of air...

    Analysis of Performance of Rotary Vane Compressor

    Hello all. I have the following questions regarding the analysis of the performance of a rotary vane compressor. 1) Why can the specific kinetic and potential energy changes normally be neglected? 2) If an adiabatic compression is considered, what is the primary cause of energy loss...
