Abstract
The energy transfer in turbomachinery is established by means of the stages. A turbomachinery stage comprises a row of fixed, guide vanes called stator blades, and a row of rotating blades termed rotor. To elevate the total pressure of a working fluid, compressor stages are used that partially converts the mechanical energy into potential energy.
