Abstract
The performance of an engine at any constant speed may be determined from a set of simple dimensionless curves (section 4.2). The level of pressure ratio (and temperature ratio) could lie anywhere within the stable operating range of the compressor (section 10.1), but in practice is set at the highest practicable level to operate at high efficiency and obtain the best performance relative to weight and cost.
