Note presenting some of the basic general equations governing the three-dimensional compressible flow of gas through a compressor or a turbine in terms of velocity components, total enthalpy, and entropy. The equations are applied to investigate the maximum compatible number of the radial variations of the gas properties between successive blade rows that a designer is free to specify.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
