Abstract
The only additional material here over that in chapter 4 is that it is convenient in the velocity diagrams to specify angles δ and γ for trigonometric purposes and polytropic stage efficiency is of importance since axial compressors, which are usually multistage machines are mostly designed on the basis of one stage with an assumed constant stage efficiency at least in elementary calculations.
