3.1 Turbomachinery similarity

If we know the characteristics of a turbomachine experimentally, under given test conditions, we know that using the variables deduced from dimensional analysis not only enables us to predict the performance of this machine in other applications, but also to determine the performance of any other machine that might be homothetic to it.

Thus, for a family of homothetic turbines, the expansion rate piEpiS...
