Abstract
“Design” in the industry means to size a compressor after the receipt of an order according to a philosophy with proven components. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is not normally applied for these routine designs on a contract basis. CFD is extensively used during the development phase of new components, which is not within the scope of this book.
